Just Returned from the RISSA Show

I enjoyed the show but I only had an hour and a half worth of time to spend there. Captn Don's booth was a zoo with people going after the Hab's and Bernzy plugs. Not many left at 1:30. Did not like the non-fishing booths like Gutter Helmet and Sears. What is up with having booths like that there? Overall, well run and organized show with plenty of room in the aisles.

Gutter Helmet and Sears??? Glad I will miss the show in that case......I want to buy gutters or go to Sears I can do that anytime!

Why don't they have fishing tackle at Home Shows?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Funny you should mention that, I was talking to my Bro-in-law the other day he said he was at the Home show a couple of weeks back and they had a raffle for Fishing lures....said he thought of me when he saw it so he put some tickets in for it......I thought that was an odd place for fishing tackle when he mentioned it

Show was good, early bird got the habs! Capt Dons booth was a joke early. Habs and Tattoo's booth was nice, some new paints John has are out of this world. Really no deals to be had, full retail and then some.

Thanks Warren

Your Right, a lot of people at this one Besides it's proof that you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try. Hope you enjoyed the forum anyway.
