Fantastic show!! Great job MSBA (the lady's at the door are the ones to fish with, they caught every kid trying to sneak in ).

I went to the presentation on the Elizabeths, I just jotted down some nice notes for my charts.

My purchases - a 10ft sealine conventional for $45 (same place had the rod with Red Sox emblem and trophy, very sweet, but it was 5x the sealine) and some cod jigs (3 for $10) from fishguts, these things are cool, a bank sinker with a hook embedded in the mold, see if my blondes of the deep take this offering. And $5 for the msba raffle, did 1731 - 1736 come up???

again Great Job MSBA - Well done.

I had a great time...Who was the genious who planned it at the mall? Brillant! Great job MSBA! Mike thanks for the needles! ReelE any of that booty make it into your car

Salty and Mrs. thanks for the pretzels. Joe thanks for the compliment it meant a lot. And Specialist great convo...It was great to meet so many people from S-B (way too many to list)! I guess I gained a shopping buddy

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

UserRemoved1 · 03-20-2005, 08:08 PM

I gotta say thanks to a bunch of people from MSBA here....

Some stuff I seen...

PATRICK and LARRY.....you guys are the cat's balls. Nice job on the show. VERY good comments from EVERYONE I spoke with both days!

To all the guys and GALS that helped make the show happen...kudos and nice job!

I gotta single out a few guys though. I seen some chit both days that these guys stood out for....I was near the back door....and the attitudes of some people trying to get through the doors was disgusting.

SPECIAL thanks (and some free plugs) went to a few of these guys for standing up to do the job they did.....and all the flak they put up with.

BigFish · 03-20-2005, 10:26 PM

Thanks again guys...day 2 was tough and I can barely walk now...shin splints and my feet are throbbing like mad. Thank you all again, it was a great success because of all the great MSBA volunteers who were there to help and if you guys are on this site you know who I am talking about.

Thank you all.

tynan19 · 03-20-2005, 10:37 PM

Where to start. Thanks to all the MSBA crew for putting together a great show. The Hard work payed off. Glad I got to see some familiar faces and meet many more great people. Way to many to list. Thanks to Clammer for keep Star busy and let me do my thing. Thanks BF for the Howdy.

Flap great presentation I just wish I was around 20 years ago. Although I fish Monomoy regularly from a boat I can't wait to hop in the Surf and try those tactics you showed.

John it was a great idea having the booth. I could have stayed there all day. I think I did.

The Point Jude Bros. great talking to you 2 and any questions send me a PM.

MikeCC thanks again and thank Barbara(sp?) for keeping my wife happy.

All the guys that I met and plan on fishing with I can't wait.

I spent most all weekend as a volunteer!

My son Raider/dogfish Leo was there 1 day also

I got home around 8:30 pm sun night,
had some dinner, took a shower, then fell asleep watching tv on my couch around 10

m!
Now, I've been up since 2:00 am and I'm reading treads and posting some replies because I'm so over tired that I can't sleep!!!

I had a GREAT weekend!!!

I think it's going to be a pretty rough and LONG day at work monday!

Slipknot · 03-21-2005, 08:16 AM

Thanks for the squid afterhours

reelecstasy · 03-21-2005, 08:33 AM

I just wanted to say I had a great time this weekend. The volunteers that came are what made the show as great as it was in my opinion. Well, first and foremost, big props to BasicPatrick and Bigfish, these two put in so many hours making the show what it was

and combine that with a great bunch of people from the MSBA that gave up thier weekend to make sure everything went off as best it could. Without the volunteers there would never even have been a show, these people deserve a huge round of applause.

I really thought there would be many more volunteers in attendance, luckily the ones that did volunteer their time really stepped up and made the show what it was, terrific...
.
It was great putting a few more faces with names, insteed of just avatars in my head, lol...

There was just so much to see

between the great seminars and demo's then add on all the tackle

I was in fishin heaven...
Always great to see JohnR, got a chance to meet up with The Specialist, Slipknot, CS, and MAc. Sooo many, got a chance to talk with so many. I wish i had more time. Great meeting Ty19 and Starfish, wish I had more time to spend talking with you two...and no, none of the booty I had in my arms made it to my truck. But I did walk away with some shweet gear for this season...
Sorry if I missed anyone, I know I did, the names are streaming thru my head right now. But, it was great seeing all of you..
Again, big thanks to BasicPatrick and Bigfish, I appreciate all the work that went into making the show what it was, awesome.......
Hope to see some of the S-B crew soon, but, it will be on the rocks.............

Day 1--mild aching, Day 2--numbing pain, Day 3 totally did me in. By the time I got home, I could hardly get out of the truck. My entire body is sore. My shins are screaming louder than my back.
But still its a small price to pay,,, the aching will pass, but the great time and new faces will stick.

Thanks for all the donations at the JUNIORS RAFFLE TABLE.....The kids, MSBA and I appreciate your support...

Except for the guy who slipped in some nickels instead of quarters for a 1 dollar chance. Can you believe he scammed us for 40 cents.....

In case it disapears.

Bliz · 03-21-2005, 10:44 AM

Thanks again to the volunteers for MSBA.

You folks are truly outstanding!...

This was a great year.

Glad to have met some members from the board I haven't spoken with...

Nightfighter...

Yes, the BL Simulator products were very well received amongst the boaters and should do very well... Thanks!

You should have ran faster.

Nice to meet you also.

kippy · 03-21-2005, 01:20 PM

I was at the show Saturday and spent time at the Pt Jude booth talkng with Point Jude Joe and JBuck. Looking forward to throwing the tin soon, thanks guys!

Surfpirate · 03-21-2005, 03:52 PM

It’s always worth the trip to spend time with quality people.

The Volunteers who man the MSBA events are second to none.

Patrick and Larry do consistently great job.

It is good to see the S-B.com boss (if your wife finds your new toy and you have to get rid of it fast, let me know!) having fun.

The S-B.com members are some knowledgeable dudes and dudettes! It’s great to put a face to the screen name… although next year you should wear name tags like me!

Ron Arra IMHO is a great ambassador of the sport; I can never spend enough time with him and feed of his enthusiasm for the sport

The Pt. Jude Guys, other than having a great product line (they bumped Hopkins and Charlie Graves out of my bags) are pure class

Next meeting april 1 in RI???

The Dad Fisherman · 03-21-2005, 04:13 PM

Awesome job on the show, I was there saturday w/ the little guy and we had a blast. It was good to meet a few more people from the site and see some I've met before. The Plug Demos were awesome and I left with a few more tricks to try.

A Big Thanx on a job Well Done

-man you got that right karl. and you're welcome slip, fish it well!

Swimmer · 03-21-2005, 07:09 PM

Especially Squid Kids Dad and Swimmer. They were all over the place like a bad rash helping out. Oops.

Some people say fishermen are anti-social. Next time I talk to someone I'll ask their opinon, maybe.

Swimmer · 03-21-2005, 07:21 PM

For those of you who didn't make it. I was witness to a reel life HABATTACK at M & D's booth. Mike, his wife, and daughter had all they could do to keep up with the Habs request. Of the first forty guys to enter the show 39 went straight for M & D's booth. I thought we were going to have to hire a detail officer for crowd control. Great plugs obviously being sold by a real nice guy.

Mr. Sandman · 03-24-2005, 10:29 AM

Missed the event this year.

But I was wondering if that english chap was there who was growing those big sandworms? He was there last year (Had some M O N S T E R worms too) and said his company was opening a plant in Maine. After reading Charley's book I need to find a source for killer sandworms.

Has anybody purchased worms from this outfit?

fishsmith · 03-24-2005, 12:41 PM

Sandman, pete santini (member here) had them at his booth -worm dealer is Sea Bait-. I think they can be mailed too.

Swimmer · 03-26-2005, 11:07 AM

Sandman,
I talked with the english fellow and he said his plans were a costly year behind schedule. He had full grown worms and whatever the newbies are called. The young ones were and inch or so long.
