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.

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!

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.............

You should have ran faster.

Nice to meet you also.

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.

In case it disapears.

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!

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.....
