View Full Version : Which Shows Will You Be Attending?
Rock Hopper 01-10-2004, 10:38 AM 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.

Karl F 01-10-2004, 11:33 AM MSBA are there any others? ;)
Used to do Worcester, Boston, Springfield, but no more.. only one I like is the MSBA, see U there?
Mike P 01-10-2004, 12:01 PM 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.
JohnR 01-10-2004, 12:34 PM MSBA in March - I'm sick of Turkey Fryolators at the big shows so I don't hit those anymore...
Slingah 01-10-2004, 01:09 PM M.S.B.A.:D
chris L 01-10-2004, 01:46 PM mass bass and maybe suffern . I dont do the rest of the big shows anymore . when they start selling head mounts to "sportsman " I stop going .
Christian 01-10-2004, 01:48 PM msba, and maybe the one worchester, i think it gets more borin every year though. the beef jerky gets more expensive too.
msba is the best
Clammer 01-10-2004, 01:57 PM Mass Bass & the new one in RI==I think its being run by ri anglers????:cool:
BigFish 01-10-2004, 02:26 PM 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!
Crafty Angler 01-10-2004, 02:32 PM 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.
Bill L 01-10-2004, 03:37 PM Definitely the RISAA show, may make the trip for MSBA as well....
fishweewee 01-10-2004, 04:59 PM 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.
Got Stripers 01-10-2004, 05:05 PM 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.
Bob Thomas 01-10-2004, 05:29 PM 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!
Moose Nuckle 01-10-2004, 05:39 PM I will be at the Mass Bass show on the 27 and 28 on March. I also went to the RI Boat show last night.....

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.
CustomMarineProducts 01-10-2004, 06:57 PM I have rented (2) booths at the RISAA show in March.
Hope to meet some of you guys there.
Pete
missing link 01-10-2004, 07:04 PM mass bass show :D
RI Popper 01-10-2004, 09:12 PM I've already got a booth at the RISAA show at the RI Convention Center March 5th, 6th, and 7th. see: www.nesaltwatershow.com
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.

Notaro 01-10-2004, 11:54 PM 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.
Squid kids Dad 01-11-2004, 12:27 AM M.S.B,A. SHOW..& Standish Sportmans Show tomorrow...Just dont tell BF...Only kidding BF...LOL.
RI Popper 01-11-2004, 12:33 AM Yes, I will have a booth at the NESaltwatershow. If you go to the web page you'll see all the details on the show. I'm going to do one of the seminars and There are many many more seminars there.
BasicPatrick 01-11-2004, 02:42 AM MSBA Show info coming to S-B real soon
BigFish 01-11-2004, 09:19 AM Notaro...MSBA show is on a weekend in March!:happy:
leptar 01-11-2004, 10:19 AM I'm going to the RISSA..
Notaro 01-11-2004, 09:11 PM BF, arligth, I will try to attend there.
maddog2020 01-13-2004, 09:52 AM 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.
rwilhelm 01-13-2004, 10:15 AM 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?
The Dad Fisherman 01-13-2004, 10:19 AM 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
BigFish 01-13-2004, 10:29 AM TDF...if you go to the MSBA show, make sure you ask someone from MSBA to point you in my direction!:kewl:
The Dad Fisherman 01-13-2004, 10:34 AM Will do... I'll be a marked man anyways. The kids got me a hat the says "The Dad Fisherman" on it so i'm an easy mark :D
From what I hear from you guys thats the one not to miss....So I'll definitely be there
BigFish 01-13-2004, 10:41 AM We will see you there TDF! It is "The" best fishing show in New England. Don't miss it!:happy:
Saltheart 01-13-2004, 11:52 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.
rwilhelm 01-13-2004, 12:11 PM RI Popper your pm box is full.
denis 01-13-2004, 12:18 PM MSBA--RISAA--Worcester--FlyFishMarlboro, cabin fever is starting to set in
JohnR 01-13-2004, 12:38 PM OK - for the Best Saltwater Fishing Show in New England :hihi: - I have the flyer for the MSBA show - Also Check out the Guest Speakers - looks like S-B is in the Right Place :D :D :
http://www.striped-bass.com/msba/msba04flyersmall.gif
Now, S-B will likely have a booth there as will many other regulars from here - Fisherwoman, GS, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and some other "Suprises :D "

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!;)
If enough Plug Builders respond by sending in one of their creations, I will be at the MSBA show in March to Debut the Plug Project Collection!

Young Salt 01-13-2004, 09:43 PM I'll be at the marlboro fly fishing show on sat. I'm going to the RISAA show too.
Look for the khaki OTW hat, if you see me stop and say hi. :)
Notaro 01-13-2004, 10:27 PM Young Salt, use a name tag
RI Popper 01-13-2004, 10:52 PM 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.
scarecrow 01-14-2004, 10:14 AM Springfield Show- has great gear and some awesome speakers.
Theres in my opinion TOO much hunting stuff there.
Rissa and Msba too.
If im still not hung over from the ST.PATRICKS DAY parade.:D
Goose 01-14-2004, 12:11 PM Theres in my opinion TOO much hunting stuff there.
Realy? :drool:
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);)
tlapinski 01-14-2004, 01:52 PM 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.
fishsmith 01-14-2004, 02:00 PM MSBA - it's local and it's the best.
