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

Whats good for the goose...as hey say!

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

Just got back from the show, we were THE FIRST ones in the door and I was the FIRST one at Capt. Don's booth....got everything I was after Hab's , Hab-a-Tat and Bernzy pluggage, oh yeah, venison too, wicked good ...Hey, we even got to talk with the Govenor, whoever he was .
Got some Bugger wood and J.P. got a free t-shirt, with the secret handshake
It was a GREAT show, you can tell a lot of work goes into it, all you RISSA guys should be proud Yeah, I saw the gutters too, big deal
Now bring on the fish johnny

Got into the show around 930 am scored allot of habs and tattoo plugs, aquaskinz stuff, a new wader belt and other things, also met allot of great people there too and ran into allot of people that I have fished with, it was a good time...The bar was a nice touch too

[Navy Chief]

Got to the show when they opened the doors, was about 15 people back.

Dropped $200 in about a half hour. Finally got some Habs needles, 8 of them actually. Bought one of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s Squids and got a T-shirt with the secret handshake. Got home, ordered 2 more habs from Joe Lyons. Total cost of todays purchases $250 and change. It's good to be single Spent no money at the Gutter Helmet booth.

Missed the bar though, very sad.

Finally met the famous Mustache man himself. Hey Habs, when the stripers show up at the War College, I'll take you out there (just brings squids).
