Great to see everyone at the MSBA show
 

It was great to see evryone at the show today. what a big crowd this morning! thinned out in the afternoon but it was a good turn out. I saw about 25 people from the site there , maybe more.

I'll be there again tomorrow.

Yes, great to see a bunch of happy fishermen and women. I enjoyed the show a lot.

I couldn't get out of there. Nice talking to everyone.
I got to see the plugs and flies from the swaps :eek: NICE job everyone :happy:

I got to have a nice chat with someone I admire very much, Stan Kuzia:happy: that man knows a little something about fishing.

I learned a lot today.

Unless the Phantom of the Ditch made a quick entrance and exit, I guess I missed him or maybe he had appointments all day. See ya soon anyway JP

Great to see the people I was able to. I popped out for what was supposed to be three hours or so and turned into 5 :D ... Big thanks to everyone, and extra thanks to Saltheart & Specialist for manning the S-B booth.

The reason I was out was that we had a suprise 60th Birthday party for my mom. Seeing that she reads this site for comedic relief on boring days - I couldn't mention it ahead of time :D

Never saw you Mike, sorry I missed you, but I felt like a chicken with it's head cut off most of the morning.

YO DUDE !!! you have to tell people when your Mom reads internet boards . See now I got to watch myself DAMMIT !!!


HI John's Mom :D :D

Great show. Great people. Had a blast.

-WW

Fun time!! Nice to see ya guys....enjoyed Charlies presentation. Get well Mike.....don't forget, lots of tomato juice ;)

to all who attended today,

Sorry I did not get to meet more of you. I was bummed a a bit as I would pass by Slip or Salt talking and acting like they were meeting old friends and I just knew it was another group from the site. I was just sooooo very busy being the guy at the top or bottom of the line when it comes to just about everything at the show. I know Beetle and Van were also busy. I did stick my head into a crowd of guys from the site and ask if the circle was a puter anonymous meeting. I was the frazzlwed looking large fellow with the bullhorn shouting at everyone.

If anyone is coming on Sunday please grab me and introduce yourself.

Hey Patrick, you guys did a great job today! Only complaint was the juice :D

Patrick I was the guy with the daughter wearing the tshirt with " a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at school " . I know you remember seeing us . If I knew it was you Id of said Hello . I had the longer hair .

Nice seeing everyone there,great show and great turnout.Didnt find too many goodies,they were sold out,but I did follow weewee around to see if anything would fall out of the backpack.NO LUCK:smash: NOW all I can do is wait thats the BAD part of these shows,all a tease:af:

heehee.....try having to ride two hours in the same vehicle with me afterward!!! I really love my husband...but the hell I put him through....I wonder why he's still with me!!!!!!

Slip : Nope. Ya didn't miss me at the show. Was chained to me desk all damn weekend :mad:

Thank the Lord for this site ( and others) :btu: . I'd be in a straightjacket without them.

Yeah JENN I was there when you picked up the rod and you didn't stop smilin:D ...........It does look sweet ,good luck w/ it

Had a great time talking to all my new and old friends. Got some good deals best of all was the skin jigs, thanks Salty! Slip< Stan is a legend I haven't talked to him in many years, tried to pry a few molds from him but no luck. His jigs are the best I ever used in the Ditch (Ku jigs) and he still has tons of molds he won't part with. Big Dave, Angler and Ron Arra are all old friends and a wealth of knowledge. I kept saying I was leaveing at 1 but never got very far and left at 4. Thanks everyone at MSBA for a great show!

It was a great show and good company the Long Islanders will be back when the weather gets fishy!

It was only a 22 hour trip (W/ Mike Laptews' hour and 40 minute detour to get dinner).... still fun but would have been better if we were able to have some fun.

Will I have to pay extra for the postage on my MSBA membership stuff? (newsletter?)

I talked to a ton of Guys and I didnt know a bunch of Guys that knew Me:smash:

What BM said.
I met a ton of new guys this weekend. There was a great turnout from this board. It was great to see everyone so excited about fishing. It's all downhill from here, won't be long now.

Enjoyed looking around at the show. My two helpers made it very challenging.

Met a few new folks from the board, unfortunately it was late Sunday and most of you visited on Saturday. It was nice to finally meet Mike P, after being influenced by his teachings for quite a few years.

GREAT SHOW!!!!!

Great Show M.S.B.A.,
I got to see and meet some more SB folks. The Tony S show was good, no fluff just info, I liked that (but I still think some seagulls are just sitting on the waters edge doing nothing).
After some digging I did find some good deals, 2 spools of lead line, a couple of sand sticks, and for a $1 mass bass had a goodie bag of circle hooks, rubber and those gold hat hooks.
I also picked up sea tow w/ trailer option for my boat this year, I think it's a good idea for an '84 boat motor trailer package.
She started on the first try yesterday :D .

Oh yeah, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& how many people asked if the monster red/white plug was for real?

Danno, where did you guys go for dinner? I'm surprised you guys were even awake after the show ended. Hans and I were dying by the time we got home after stuffing our faces. :laughs:

John, Mike, Ron, Roland and Squidmama great to see you again, and a pleasure to meet Fishpart and his adorable kids. Also, Bob McKay, and Bob Rogers of Fisherman's Line, if you guys are reading this. I wish we could have made it on Saturday with most of the rest of you, but we got a late start and didn't get to Pawtucket until about 4 PM.

I was tempted to pick up some of those new pink mackerel Gibbs at CMS' booth, but I still have about 10 Hawgs in the same color scheme ;)

My hands really got itchy while I was holding a custom XRA 1322 spinner at CMS, too. Good thing I had my escort :D

I LOST COUNT :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek: :eek: :eek: :laughs:

Re: Great to see everyone at the MSBA show
 

Mike where were you hiding? I was there first thing and left after Charlie Soares talk about the S-B substinence diet . . . .

I saw #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Got Stripers, JohnR (at the SB booth before he left - never did get to say hello. There were two Ave MArie guys at the booth most times I cruised by.

No BM sightings either . . .

I was the fat guy with the Mystic Aquarium shirt on :D . . . I did so many laps around show I got dizzy.

I did meet Tobias at M&D's after . . .

I got there a little late Sat but stayed until 4 PM. Also was there on Sunday. Not nearly the crowd on Sunday that there was on Sat. Still had a good time.
