Gday Allan
Sorry to hear you're winding up the lure making, you have a great talent for it! I'm sure you'll do well at whatever you pursue in future - hopefully that includes a lot more fishing and playtime Please remember to let me know when you're up this way so we can wet a line |

Cheers, Tony
For the love of Fishing Lures. |

What goes around comes around . Being nasty to somebody can come back to bite you in the butt . Hate to here your going to retire your lure making . Sometimes you can go away then wake up one morning with the idea that takes the world by storm . Best Regards watching for the grand return.

had a few of your lures in my possession once allan one was a dirty rat beautiful lure, paint work was top grade fantastic lures would never have fished them loved the way you signed dirty rat on the lure,then my best mate came over and as usual we talked lures , went through my mal florence signed tackle box and he said where did you get those dirty rats from i said you gave them to me because you felt sorry for me when i left my tackle box full of lures at wivenhoe dam, by then i had stocked up more lures , he said i dont remember giving you those , well you bloody did, do you want them back, he said yes , im not a lure collector he is and they have gone to a good home again you make great lures allan dont give up the trade, pearcey
