RISAA Show Thread
 

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?

looking forward to the show

I'm treating the show like walking into a casino..go there with what you put aside to spend and leave the credit cards/atm card home

I'll be there friday

Gonna try and make it on Sat, maybe Sunday

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:

Fri night and all day on Sat hanging out with Wildwood guys .

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.

ill be there friday around noon.

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.

Will probably go Sunday. I never buy anything other than beef jerkey at these shows. Primarily I go to see old friends and b.s. a little.

I'm going just to heckle #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& when he does his seminar....:bshake: :bl:

Making A Long Weekend Of It With My Better Half :love: ,Staying Over In Ct @ Mohegan Sun,Already Doubled My Plug Fund In Atl.Cty Sat.Ngt.:kewl:

Looking Forward To Meeting Alot People That I Deal With And Chat Online With From The NewEngland Area.. :wave:
Met John (Habs) & Mike (Tattoo) down here at Asbury NJ
a couple years ago - really looking forward to seeing what they have NEW this year...
Here's how sick I am - I printed out the Conv.Ctr Floor Plan and Highlighed Everyone Booth #'s that are my first stops and a must see.:D

So I should be making it over to the show sometime on Saturday..

Can't Wait .....

Watch for Salty's BLUE LIGHT SPECIALS :hee:

I guarantee you won't want to miss them...

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:

On the fence.
Have a work commitment on Sun.
Maybe Saturday

I'm going saturday afternoon, most likely 2-6 or so. I want to see/hear McKenna and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.
I dont need a damn thing, I may leave my credit card home...

I'm thinking Friday after work, too.

I'll be selling surfhogs in the wildwood outfitters booth. :hidin:

I'll be working the Noreast Saltwater booth both giving away magazines and selling charters. I should be there about 1:30 on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday.

I'll be in Habs booth Friday afternoon with Venison Backstraps. :drool:

who needs plugs when ya got backstraps

\




:happy:

hey guys is it better to go Friday or Saturday?
thinking about taking off work and shooting down there on Friday to beat the crowds on Saturday

Depends - early 6 hours of a show are whne your chances are highest of getting what you want by way of selection... The gooood stuff gets gone early...

The boss lady and I will be there Saturday....

:bl: dont really NEED anything, I'll probably head up saturday to say hi to some folks etc.

Fri. it is

Going Friday with Numbskull. See whos sober:gu: , whos mad at who:af: and pay too much for food and beverage :hs:

Take a walk. Plenty of good food and drink in the area. :boots:

gotcha ;)

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.

Friday for me!:)

We'll be there with a ridiculous amount of Hab's Needles in all sizes. Also, the Cowboys will debut on Friday (a couple of previews are attached). We are reserving a bunch for people who can't make the show as well. More surprises to come...

nice pete...

Meet us at the :gu:

pretty sure I won't be going, if I do go I am going to try and get there Friday. doesn't look good things are messed up here

Is that place the Union Station or something like that still open? They had great house brew there.

buy today E-Bay on Monday!

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.

We're headed down Friday, per the Clam plan.

Don't really need much of anything, but will get some of the Point Jude bling for starters. I'm suffering from tunnel vision for the new boat ...

I wouldn't doubt there will be some of that... :rolleyes:
