Curious what are people's plans for the RISAA show coming up this weekend?

We have some S-B'ers that will have vendor booths this year:

Hab's Custom Plugs
Point Jude Lures
Afterhours PLugs
Aquaskinz
King Cove Outfitters
Saltwater Edge
Surfcasting Rhode Island
Tattoos Tackle
NJ Tackle
Got Stryper Charters
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& Lures (under the mask of Salty's Fly & Lure :hee: - that's why I missed it)

Also there will be more than a few S-B featured fishing clubs like CSA, MBBA, and MSBA...

And more than a few S-B'ers going to to the show...

Thinking of going Friday Afternoon myself and/or maybe Sunday...

Whaddya think?

Good call on the credit card. I'm going to do some damage at that show. I've been well behaved for the last couple of months but I'm going to let loose at RISSA. There is going to be alot of nice candy.:drool:

The credit card can come out pretty easily too with the fair beer prices at the show.:cheers: :gu: I bought a rod last year after the pocket money was gone.:blush:

Going Friday, need to be good, went a bit overboard at MSBA. I have plans to visit a number of booths, so I'll probably spend too much and end up working a crapload of overtime to make up for it.

Need a plug bag, pliers, stock up for the canal, metal for the beaches and if I find something that is too good to pass up ill buy it.

I may try to get down there Friday afternoon after work ... as the weekend is filling up fast with lots of honey dos and family stuff, which will take me away from Sunday and probably Saturday.

Although the site of everything may be too much to endure ... :drool:

I went last year for the first time and was very impressed. Great show, great seminars, and lots of good deals with hard to find stuff.

Thankfully this year it doesn't conflict with opening weekend on Wachusett Reservoir. I haven't made it the last 2 years because of that.

If I spend anything I'll have to start at Wildwood Outfitters... a big supporter of the club I belong to.

Yeah....if I'm thinking about the same place they have a nice variety of house brew and good food. It's a good place to take a break from the action. I enjoy spreading my loot out on the table next to pitcher and some buffalo wings. Doesn't get much better. There is also a Smokey Bones around the corner if you like that sort of thing. Good food but a little pricey for what it is.

Because of our inability to connect, Cms will only have a very limited selection of Surf Asylum Lures... If you want something Pm me, I'll be working the booth for The Fisherman magazine on Sat and Sunday, we can make a "DL" exchange at the show. Other than that stop by the Fisherman booth and say hello if you're there on Sat or Sun. :D

Sorry for that, I am looking to get into alot more Surfcasting.
For the most part i am geared up for it. However, I feel as though i need a little more education as to what types of plugs in certain conditions are more effective. Also I would like to question by sight if i have the right type of gear.
Thanks,
