With the MSBA show less than a week away and many about full of winter by now, how many are getting primed for the show next weekend? Planning on coming just 1 day or both? Are you looking for anything in particular that you have been wanting for the upcoming season or are you going to be seeing one of the great seminars planned for the weekend?:D Even though I will be working my butt off all weekend, I hope to meet many of you while you are there, maybe buy a few things I might be looking for, but I really love to see all go well and that everyone enjoys the show!:happy:

I placed my order for cloudy skies with no snow for next week....I hope Mother Nature co-operates but we will be there rain, snow, or shine. Can't think of much better to do on a snowy, rainy weekend than see a great fishing show....provided you can get there!:ss:

We'll be there Larry. Not sure which day yet. We'll be leaving here Friday night, and I guess it depends on what time we get to my mom's place in Rhody and how early we get up on Sat. ;)

Plan on spending a day there with at least one friend and my brother, looking at sunday right now but I'm free both days. Really depends on other's schedules.

I don't need anything but I'm sure I'll leave with some tackle. Especially looking forward to the seminars!

I'm sure we'll run into a bunch of guys from here just like year's past.

Larry - you guys do a good job every year. With the new space and addition of the plug demo, I feel this will be the best yet. Keep up the good work.:btu:

BigFish

Moses, thanks.:D We really do try to make it a worthwhile experience for all and try to make it better each year. Look forward to seeing you there.;)

:heybaby: A 52 pounder would be even better. BTW- I think I should try one of your plugs down here to see if they're good in our local waters. I'll bring it back to you in June.:D

I will be there Saturday. Hope to get there early to fill shopping list, ie. Habs plugs, rubbah, Aquaskinz top maybe....if I am good this week;) And say hello to you all of course.

To all new comers, be sure to support Van's raffle. It's a good cause, our young fishermen and girls. He can expand on this better than me.... And don't forget to put our S-B sponsors on your A-list when you open your wallets!

Who from the Cutty crew besides Slip and JohnR will be there Saturday?

Larry, what kind of technology do you have available for the presentations? Slide projector, power point projector or should I just do the old presentation boards with pics and bring some rods and such? I can do this just about any of those ways. Need to know soon. I have an older presentation on slides but I have an updated version as well. Looking forward to a couple fun days.

I'm hoping to go to the expo this weekend, but, being the poor college kid that I am, I have no ride. Is anybody in the boston area willing to give me a ride, I can meet anyone anywhere the T goes. I'd also be willing to chip in for gas money if you'd like. PM me if you're interested, thanks in advance.

I'll be there when the doors open Saturday with my Son in tow. Been looking forward to this for awhile. He's even doing some extra chores to earn a little green for the show.

Spinni bummer you can't make it saturday.

Can't wait to see the Plug Demos. and to meet some of the other members. If you see me say hi, Big guy w/ a beard (yeah That narrows it down) I'll be wearing my "The Dad Fisherman" hat though so say Hi

I'm ready for the show, many 1/2 price specials this year, plus two buckets of discount big rubber. Basic black beauty in one bucket, 7-9-13 inch and in the other primarily versions of pearl and yellow, with most of the bucket pearl bellies over pearl yellow tops.
