I am very depressed that BigFish Bait Co. will not be able to attend any of these fine shows this season but maybe I personally will be able to attend to enjoy them for all the fine things that each of them has to offer! The Plum Island Show has been a favorite of mine for the past 2 years and this season I had to back out!
This show is very small and very personable with great speakers always (has had Steve McKenna and Alberto in the past as well as Steve Papows who are all among the finest around) as well as having some fine vendors (#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and Point Jude Joe to mention a couple....not sure if they will be there this year??? Hope so?) Plum Island also has a great cause at heart and the chowder itself is worth the trip as well as the chili! MSBA is a fantastic show and has always been.....they cater to "The Fisherman".....all fishing all weekend with no fudge, no cookware and no BS! Great speakers and an atmosphere of fun and fellowship among those who wet a line as many gather there to chow down, have a cup of "Joe" and chew the fat about our sport! Free parking, ease of access and a reasonable door fee......you can't miss with this show! RISSA......a great show for its huge size and scope and the amount of vendors and selection, great speakers as well!!! I plan on hitting them all if I can!!
I miss the SWE show??
