Well? Where Is All The RISSA Show Chatter? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

No. Great show. I couldn't believe how loaded the show was with quality custom plugs. No good deals but alot of good stuff. Gillette didn't bother me but it was rather nice having so much room to move around. Tattoo put a serious dent in my wallet. Love the jointed swimmers. Also got a nice deal on an Arra 1204. Well that was until they calculated the Rhode Island tax. WTF.

It was nice meeting Afterhours and doing some rod talk with Seawolf. I took my AH rascal out for a spin with the 1204 today. They like each other alot.

THere was another thread that was started last night, great show with alot of great people there. I had a great time and put a dent in my mad money fund. The Tattoo Jointed swimmers are nice I wish I could have gotten black. and I was 2 1/2 hours after it opened yesterday and all the Habs Jointed needles were gone and the Beachmasters were gone in like 2 minutes. there were not many of Salty's needles or spooks left either. but talking to everyone is sure worth the 10 dollars entrance fee. plus I added a few new spots to my list, it is funny how beer loosens lips

I wish you told me I would have scored some for you, If someone sees this maybe they will do you a favor and get some for you. I wanted some deep divers and totally forgot, I will get them though

I WAS having a good time.I got myself a decent filet knife finally,bought a few of Nebe's eels and bought my girlfriend one of Afterhour's Sliders and then the phone rings while walking down the isle and its my girlfriend's daughter.Someone tried to break in.

I was potentially going to have a great day but now I'm angry and want to go shoot the punk(s).

If you live in neighborhoods off of the Warren Ave. area in Tiverton keep an eye out for suspicious people.

Sorry to hear that Basswipe. Not feeling secure in your own home is NOT a fun feeling.

Also, RI sales tax. They love to mock "Taxachusetts" and its 5%, but RI is definitely brutal with its 7%.

The vibe at the show continues to be great. Met some great people today which is almost always the best part of fishing shows.
