Excellent show put on by the EBA - I thought it would cure my winter fishing pox but it just made it worse - I hadn't been to it in years, used to go all the time.
Mike's underwater footage of Brenton Reef with big bass and the bottom covered in hundreds of blackfish had me foaming at the mouth...
...exquisite tog porn, Mike...
Alberto's presentation was as good as it always is, covering big fish tactics in detail - he had the crowd mesmerized and he told me afterwards they wanted to book him again for next year.
Also picked up a nice print Alberto had of bass chasing juvenile tog for an appetizer - if you haven't seen Alberto's artwork, do yourself a favor and take a look, it's incredible.
The Crazy one is also a big tog fan - his latest is a tog getting ready to chow down on a green crab, I think he told me the lithograph had 16 different colors in it - it's next on my list. You can never have too many fish pictures around the house, I always say - lucky for me Mrs Crafty humors me...
Good mini- Bloooberry Social at the Coddington afterwards, too - good seeing the gang - just stopped by for a short rinse and got to see both Pt Jude brothers, Jake and Elwood.
All in all, a great day out of the shack, but boy, the season can't come quick enough now.
