Hey Jenn - SF seems legit
Bloo - you are a crusty old fart
"RISAA have over 3,000 members and have monthly seminars with always over 500 people showing up" RISSA has several hundred members. With their affiliated clubs, including those in other states like MSBA, they tangentially represent 3000 anglers but they don't "HAVE" 3000 members. Funny thing is, I'm a member of 3 clubs (although I limit myself to 1-2 meetings per month) and 2 of these clubs are affiliated with RISAA. That means I'm counted twice in that 3000 number and I'm not even a member of RISAA... Not saying there is something wrong with the club or not, just that you shouldn't always believe verbatim what you read.
SF - definitely check out the MSBA show (OK. it's not in Plymouth but right up the road in Kingston - off RT 3)
