If any of you want to know RISAA (Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association) in which im a junior member in, will be having a HUGE saltwater fishing show at the providence convention center. It's going to be great, so many raffles, including a Trophy 1703, with over 200 exhibitor booths, and a ton of seminars daily. Also everybody can fill out a form and get a FREE year subscription to Saltwater Sportsman! The show is March 5-7, (weekend) governor is opening it up with a ribbon cutting. Should be an awesome show, its huge and has been planned for a year and more, and there are a few highway billboards that surprised me for the show....many of you probably know/heard about it already but just informing those who haven't.

I'll be there when the doors open on friday with my son and a couple of other fishin' buddies, looking forward to it :happy: :happy: johnny "the Ratt Boy"

I'll be there the whole show, all 3 days...
If anyone wants anything specific let me know and I'll bring it. If the stuff is not on the website it means I don't have it.
I'll be bringing a lot of inventory...So you'll be able to purchase products, sign up for trips, and the webzine.
I'm a little fish so I don't have all the trade show gizmos like portable card swipers.
If anyone wants to vol to help out in the booth let me know...401.615.2636

Does anyone know If I could go to the RISAA saltwater show for more than one day on the purchase of only one ticket. Lets assume that I show ID on the second day or do they have there own method for the same person(s) arriving more then one day, even different times of the same day.

What two are they? I'm coming down from the North Shore and always want to try new brews.

Come on now Guys. I thought we would meet at the Chapel in the City for noon Services :) :)....



OK, I guess. I'll have to stay in my booth or go alone then.

There is the Trinity Brew Pub. Come out of Convention Center turn right go up to main enterance of Dunkin Dognuts Center turn left and walk across the two streets.

The second one (forgot the name) go out of convention center turn left and walk opposite the direction of the Dunkin Dognuts Center, corss the street the pub is down the stairs to the left almost directly across from the Ice Rink.

Both are less than the walk from the parking lot to Pip's Rip......

Thanx.....Much appreciated. Which one would you recommend?

pips rip is that a bar in providence ? is providence called Ptown ?

There's also a good saloon called Murphy's just down from the CC - good food, good place been around for a while - I haven't been there for a while but I remember liking it

Okay, I sort of remember :D The beer was real cold, of that much I'm certain.

Great sandwichs at Murphy's!

Is Finnegan's Wake still around? I rememebr they used to have 10 cent wings. I must have eaten thousands of those..

Ooops, am I hijacking this thread?

I'm going to the show on Saturday. I'll have a sign on my forehead that says RIJimmy, so if you see me, say hi!

I'm pretty much marked the same way. My kids got me a hat for xmas that says "The Dad Fisherman" on it. I'll be looking to say Hi to a few of you guys while I'm there.

And I'll be the guy walking around with no more money in my pockets and a bag full of WOODEN plugs:drool: :kewl: :hee: johnny "the Ratt Boy"

Yeah, Bry, that would be the place - I sorta remember them too :cheers:

Oh yeah, I just got back from the SWE, forgot there's a full moon this weekend - went down with Iron Mike and ran into DZ, PeteG, Corey, Joe Martins, Eric and Tattoo who was dropping off a butt-load of factory-fresh plugs.

Man, they are schweeeeeet...:drool:....schwiiiinnngggggg!!!

And from what Pete and Corey tell me, they're headed for the SWE booth Friday.

Gotta tell ya, though, even if I didn't already know it, I woulda guessed that we've got a full moon coming on (it's Saturday night) - sheesh, what a gang that was all glassy-eyed fondling Tattoo's plugs:eek5:.

Whoa all those guys in one spot...you'd think the large were in....:cool: :laughs:

Hey, Joe they were the large - and near as I could tell they were in a frenzy and feeding heavily on hops :laughs:

Do you guys accept checks or credit cards?

Joe, can you bring your korkers? I want to buy it (the gladiator model, 49.99).

I hope to go on sunday...I really want to get some nice custom plugs..although it will probably be all picked over by sunday:af:
