Good Time at RISSA!
 

Great seeing all you guys I saw today! Best part of the show was chewing the fat with you all! Afterhours and Canalman (Surf Asylum)......holy crap my eyes were just scanning your displays looking at the beautiful work! Great eye candy!:drool: Speaking of eye candy....anyone see the chick selling sun glasses at the show???!!!!:eek::shocked::eyes:

Oh! John Habs Jr.....great seeing you today! Your work is right there with your Dad....he would be proud!:kewl:

Did you catch the Narragansett girls??

Missed them!:huh:

i stopped by to say hello to them and to hear the plan to move the brewery back to RI. :)

Is that what they said??

So how many pairs of sunglasses did you buy :rotf3:? Nice talking to you today. After looking at Jim Levison's prints, it's another reason to make it out to Montauk :hee:.

ya there are trying to bring it back. i guess in a couple of weeks or months they are going to start the steps of going through the state and propose plans.

Speaking of eye candy
 

I forgot to mention the blond that was with the weather truck down aisle 1300 :uhuh:. Very nice.

How were those hotdogs Larry? You looked like a big striper taking down an eel...:laugha: I was afraid to approach you....

Stopped by Friday early for a few hours. That was a great show! I wish I could have stayed longer. IMO it was probably the best RISAA shows to date. Lot's of great stuff. (yeah and the sun glass babe was pretty cute too)

A couple of really nice booths with lots of goodies.
Did you see:

• the prototype Squid from sluggo (WHoa!!!) He said it has no name yet but should be on the shelfs in a couple months.
• Bliz's collection of lures that were wayyyyy to nice to put in the water, they look like museum pieces
• nice rubber with kick ass jig heads from Alan H. loaded my bag.
• I am ordering one of those charts with the lights...way cool
• how about that SWEET 24' CC Dion? I think the name was, I didn't get a price but it looked like a little Buddy Davis.
• Saw a well-tanned Tony O in prep for his upcoming trip south. Good luck!
• I picked up a couple of the rather expensive Sebile lures...looked so good I have to try them.
• Some great deals on tuna gear

too much to list...great show RISAA!

:drool:

Larry she was one of the cutest texters I have ever seen. I couldn't go Friday, but made it today with Mike, Bubba, all the Hesses. Lots of nice toys in the store.

Yes. Both of them.

Personally the show was much better than last year. No mortgage originators bugging you when you walked by. The Dion that Mr. Sandman pointed out was my favorite. Hard not to like the boat. It can take a lot of water with that high bow.

I went this morning with my son, early on it was quiet so we could see everything. It was cool introducing him to the OTW guys who he sees on TV and Mike Laptew, who my son loves the DVDs. Our annual tradition is to buy him some type of rubber lure body, past year it was squid, this year a few big rubber eels. I bs'ed with a few guys including Jonas and a few charter captains, Jim White and Joe Pagano. Those ligted charts were awesome as were some photgraphers close ups of bass feeding. They pics were $99, too much for me.
I picked up some of the pearl 9" gotstryper rubber to use for bass. I had a good time and went with $60 in my pocket and kept to my budget, never broke out the credit card.
Great way to spend a Saturday morning
