As for the show, perhaps I don't pay enough attention. I was expecting more vendors and more people (crowd) based on what I had read. I HOPE the vendors made enough $$$ to cover booth costs. A bit disappointed the Jerkee guy was only selling strips for $1, as a pound would have proven more cost effective for a jerkee-junkee like me. He warned me on the HOT flavor {}, I guess my portagee T-buds are worn out as it was far from hot.
I also [personally] think vendors should have better 'show' prices, but what do I know...I always want cheaper than cheap prices, so don't take it personally.
I did catch the DJ/Muller show. It was a very basic introductory to wetsuit-fishing. I'm not sure what I was expecting, I guess. Perhaps he's right in being more "safe" than risky. Thought I saw a face in the audience that I've seen on here somewhere, Milo thought it was numbskull ???

Good seeing RickHern & crew. Saw the bossman, he looked tired ..Shook T-Timber's hand again ???, then I got possessed into following "the Light", by the infamous MSBA guys...hope they raised enough coin for their youth program...I missed the phone call last night, please ship my prize to the address listed on the ticket stub.

All in all, it was a decent Sunday out of the house. Will try to make the RISSA show for comparison. Everybody LOVES a critique.


EDIT: Sorry., ...My post reads negatively. .. I am GLAD that I went. It sounded like a complaint, it was not. I meant no disrespect to the MSBA members and volunteers for their hard work in putting it together. They do a GREAT job each year. How can one complain about prices while at the same time hope the vendors covered their costs?
