I did not know if this was mentinoed while i was away but the show dates are set for the Mass Bass Show

http://msba.net/

hope to see all of you there
:jump:

Just for yuks, since starting up a hand poured bait biz is a lot slower than I thought, when is the deadline for reserving a booth? I can't see how I can plan anything at this point, but maybe if the deadline isn't too far out from the actual show date.

We'll talk :rolleyes:

What is the Mass. Bass show???

Its a fishing show in Plymouth GB,alot of vendors,with good stuff pretty cheap and quite a few speakers{doing a 1-2 hour presentation}.Nice show been going the last 2-3 yrs.The schedule of the speakers and the times should be out soon if not already,so you can plan your trip accordingly.C ya

Mass Striped Bass Assoc. ( a lot of us are members)

GB - It's a pretty good show and probably the best last show just before people start fishing the new season. The last three years it's run 2 days at Plymouth's Cordage Park and gets over 100 vendors and seminars from Shoot Doggy-Dogg to Tim Coleman & Charlie Soares.

Plenty of good stuff too (read Beechmasters ;) ) and many tackle shops (like M&Ds and the Sportsmans Den) with plenty of good stuff on sale ...

A few of our regulars are there too like, well Me, Fisherwoman & BC, and the above mentioned shops...

Very good show....

JohnR, we need to talk, do you want to do what we did last year with the booths, if so let me know.

As for the show, this is going to be an exceptional year as we will be having Tony Stetsko there as a guest speaker, if you have never seen his presentation, Don't miss it.

On display, will be the 2 largest bass ever caught in New England.
For the 1st time ever, we will have Tony Stetsko's and Charlie Cinto's fish on display!!!!

Seminar times have been posted on www.msba.net, hope alot of you can come and visit Baitcaster, Myself and JohnR. Look forward to seeing you there!!!!

Deadline for Booths is March 1st. If you need info let me know or contact Patrick Paquette, his number is listed on the MSBA website.

Ill be there early and leave late just like last year . anyone need help setting up ?

John,
Will you have a booth the their? Or is it a social visit?

Later:o

Is this the same show that used to be held at the Armory in Wilmington, Mass? Two years ago I went to that show and was impressed. But afterward I heard they were moving the show. I just never found out where to. Thanks guys.

Linesiders, I'll have a booth in conjunction with some other people from here ;) and there certainly seems to be a social aspect happening too...

Matt - this was the show that was held at the Braintree Armory up until 2 years ago when it was moved to Cordage Park in Plymouth for 2 days... Much bigger than the Braintree shows were plus ample parking and twice as many vendors... There is also a show in Wilmington every year but I'm not sure of the details and it's not the MSBA show, which has lately been considered as one of the better "Fishing" Shows...

John do I need a ticket to get in or is it open and if so where do I sign up??? Looking for a new tackel bag should I wait till then?

Just like last year i will post all specials in advance so members of s-b can take advantage of before the show.

John, Shoot Doggy Dog :D :D I just about woke my wife up when I read that one. :D

GB, buy a ticket at the door. And mikecc from Cape Cod Tackle/ M&D's had some great buys on some plug bags last year.

So, striperman will be there huh, I may have to check that one out. Just don't tell BM.

Thank's John!:o

I talked to Nick Meyers form Breakaway and he said he was going to try to attend the show.;)

..It seems that some of you fellas are involved in some way...so do any of you happen to know who's speaking when??..what's the roster lineup look like??.....I'd like to plan it accordingly....

...Just the tackle alone is reason enough to show up...:D:D but knowing that there are usually speakers.....I'll like to catch a presentation or two......

Thanks in advance.....................
