Maybe. Depends on the weather. If the weathermen are right and it's in the high 40s, I'm staying home and barbecuing. First day close to normal in a month and I'm not going to be inside.

im going sunday. seems like massbass has a new infusion of energy and hoping the show reflects it

I'll be there Sunday with the kid. Hoping my dad makes it up off the Cape to meet us, too.

Nothing serious Bob I hope?

Going to try to get there and help out for Friday set up.
Saturday have a funeral to attend. May slide in after - if possible.:smash:

Sunday working. :smash:

said I wouldn't attend any shows/events besides plugfest, SWLCC, and TCTFN but I might go. Is it weird to just not need anything? The only thing I ever need is terminal tackle with M&D's sale rules all.

I'll skip RISSA as well.

Probly Saturday

was cool to play with the fibrestar rods at the mgc booth.

You gotta be #^&#^&#^&#^&tin me! FSC had rods there?? I've been asking John for months now when/where I can get my hands on one or even see an actual rod. He still hasn't answered whether or not he's going to be at RISSA and there's nobody that reps them up here. Please don't tell me there were MTK Marauders there.

On Behalf of the MSBA team, I would like to thank everyone that went to the EXPO this weekend. It was great seeing a lot of familiar faces and meeting so many new folks all sharing a common interest. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again in the future.

Thank You.

President, Massachusetts Striped Bass Association

I did look at the MTK Maurauder and the other FSC rods at the show. Very nice rods and decent price.

M.G.C. in Pembroke has them, Not sure if he had any left from the show but give him a call.

I just want to thank all the attendees and vendors that particpated in yet another MSBA Annual EXPO. Saturday was awesome and although today was slower...as someone already pointed out, this event isnt and will never be about a large number of vendors or crowds. The MSBA show is put on by fisherman for fisherman. We try and present a show with the right stuff not all the stuff. We hope everyone had a good time. I worked my butt off and am a bit bummed I didnt get to chat with many of you. Time for a well earned 12 hour nap.

mgc is doing a demo day on april 26th. john from fibrestar is gonna be there with a bunch of rods. guess the plan is to bring them to the beach/canal after and put them to the test. love mine

Stopped by the show today and ran into a few old friends. Grabbed a couple new plugs I'm certain I don't need, and drove the scenic route home. The ponds are still frozen solid but spring is almost here!!

I was there all weekend , hanging out shooting the breeze with everyone.

How come I haven't gotten the call to pick up my new Kayak? I know I must have won....Danny said he sold me the winning ticket. Oh well, maybe they will call today.

Wish I made it - life (again) got in the way.

Me too. Just got busy with family and the show went by the boards.

I took my son and met my dad there yesterday. I thought the show was ok. It would have been nice if all of the vendors actually showed up. I did see a couple new products that looked interesting and enjoyed chewing the fat with a bunch of people from the site.
