RISAA Show:
Starts tomorrow.
Who is still interested? MA trout are stocked. I guess fishing hibernation is over; but the good fishing stuff is still a ways off.
I go tomorrow. I'm a Viet era vet; so I punch free admission compliments of the local vfw orgs.

Haven't gone for the last few years. It seems to have lost its appeal to me.

I went once. I hated the crowds. There was a guy selling hot sauces and horseradishes that were way up on the scoville chart. The a-hole had a tank of water on the table with a sign that read "$5 a cup". What he overlooked was that he was right around the corner from the Gansett booth, and they were giving out free samples. It might be piss beer, but it put out the fire.  |

You reach a point it’s time to sell or give away fishing and not picking up new stuff at the shows.

Haven't done that show in years. Miss seeing all the guys, our cooler full of cocktail supplies, the jerky guy for sure. We sure had a good time doing the show. Was the Sham Wow guy back (out of jail)?

The blow up couches were great. UNtil Vic sat in them with his knife out
I would like to do a couple Legs this year, for old time's sake.
It was always a crap ton of work, last RISAA show I did people (other vendors) stole stuff, including a cart of mine, while exiting the show.

Met Jay going back almost twenty years ago when he bought a house from the company I work for. Happy go lucky was my first impression....I miss seeing his posts which usually showed his edgy sense of humor. Little convenience store in town sells the Jerky boys wares. You say he got himself a boat .....Ill keep an eye out for him at the ramp or on the river this season.

Laughing here.... Crazy. Edgy. Yup! One of my favorite fishing trips was eight years ago (Gawd it was that long ago?). That outing that still is up there on the fun list. We met at Westerly for an overnight run out to SW Ledge. Crew was Captain Cohen, Jay (then known as Westport Mafia), Bobby 5/0, and me. Ten hours of nonstop edgy ball busting! Fish were caught. Another angler was struck with a dogfish, flung overhand from our boat to his! Jay demonstrated how to get the wrapper off his sandwich while it was in his mouth! Offshore heat lightning illuminated our ride back to shore... Instant classic. Like being back in my fraternity house.
