Hello guys,

Since being on this site and others, I have a profound respect for many of the anglers that frequent them and put in their valuable knowledge.

The only problem with cyber personilities is that you rarely get to meet the people behind the screen name.

With AquaSkinz doing many of the popular shows this year, I figured it would be a great opportunity to put a face to a screen name :)

So come on, tell us what show(s) you will be at...so we can meet.

I'll be at MSBA too.

I haven't been to one of the mega-shows in a few years, so I might do the one in Suffern, NY again.

MSBA in March - I'm sick of Turkey Fryolators at the big shows so I don't hit those anymore...

MSBA Show is all fishing, all the time! It is intentionally kept that way. No cookware, no squeegies, nothing non-fishing related at all. Last year we dicussed a vendor that was interested in selling clothing and we declined his request for a table.:kewl: All fishing, all the time!

More than likely MSBA and definitely the RISAA show in Providence. Worcester maybe - it depends on how bad the cabin fever gets by then, Worcester seems to get a little less exciting every year. :sleeps: :sleeps: :sleeps:

But colder than usual weather always seems to cause early onset fishing pox for me.

Definitely the RISAA show, may make the trip for MSBA as well....

Suffern = :yak:

I'll try to make RISAA and MSBA shows.

In NY, probably the only show I'll make is the Freeport show - I'm skipping Nassau Coliseum.

I'll be sharing a booth with Don and King Cove Outfitters at the RISAA show on 3/5 throu 3/7. Patrick pm/email/call me, I need to firm up something for MSBA so I can set up shop at that show also. I'm holding off getting too many set up as I hope to have a new job by Feb 1st, which might limit my time to reload the supplies between shows.

Anyone have the dates for the MSBA show and the Date & location for this RI show everyone is talking about?? Checked MSBA site with nothing showing yet.

Thanks!

The show is skipping Nassau Colliseum, too :D :smash:

Freeport has slipped in the last several years, I'm sorry to say. Even Bill P bailed on it last year.

Other members of this group have booths there as well. I'll be trying to get to the Mass Bass show too :) looking forward to them.

RISSA, RI Popper, are you going to present your RI poppers? Is it somewhere in Providence? I am considering about attending there. As for MSBA, Wednesday is usually a bad time for me. I will try to make it if I can.

MSBA show was the "best" one I have been to in the local area.

The Worcester show is almost the same each year. ;)

The Springfield show has more gear for sale. It has excellant speakers (worth the travel just to hear some of them IMHO).

Flyfishing show in Marlboro, MA this Fri-Sun if any one is into that. ;) Another fly show in Wilmington next month @ the Shriners.

I am planning on attending the RISAA show. Hey RI Popper are your plugs for sale at Benny's? I have seen some plugs there before and I think I remember a RI Popper label?

I'm planning on hitting the MSBA show and the RISSA show. Did a small one up in NH this past weekend. Just to get warmed up

It was pretty good, Got to meet Tim Brooks from Plum Island Surfcasters, He gave a nice presentation that had me itching to get out. Thinking about joining their organization since its in my neck of the woods.

Also may take the ride out to the Springfield show just so there's something to do in February.

Hopefully hook up and meet some of you guys at these shows

01-13-2004, 10:34 AM

01-13-2004, 10:41 AM

MSBA for sure , maybe Risaa , very slim chance of worcester show.

RI Popper
01-13-2004, 11:59 AM
Hello, Yes that's me. But I'll pm you because I'm not an official sight sponsor and I don't want to advertise here, it isn't fair to those guys like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and the rest they're good plug builders and paid advertisers.

Will hit MSBA and springfield.....I think I went to one in hartford last year too but it was basically the same people as springfield...so I guess it depends on how desperate I get to get out of the house!;)

Or you could just put the lable of a carton of salt on you and we'll find you:laughs: I can't wait to get to some of these shows. I'm sure J Habs will have some nice new stuff to show off and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& too. I know I've got some new creations.

goose...yeah there is quite a bit;) In fact I kind of LIKE the fact because hubby is distracted by all the hunting stuff and I can roam around the fishing stuff (works out quite nicely);)

i usually skip the springfield show. too much hunting stuff, as already stated, and the rest is all guide stuff. i will be working the CCA booth at the hartford CT show, so i'll be there. probably do the massbass and the worcester show.

MSBA - it's local and it's the best.
