NO SHOWS. They're way too much work and destructive. Luds is right, don't even call what we're doing this winter a "show". It's just a fun get together for fisherman...  |

 Pete, Ya took the words right outta my mouth. Your gig has always been more of a chatfest than a show each time I went, and always well done. Steve, Howlin' Wolf, RonZ & I had a good old time last year. Thanks  |
Catch'em up,

I am very depressed that BigFish Bait Co. will not be able to attend any of these fine shows this season but maybe I personally will be able to attend to enjoy them for all the fine things that each of them has to offer! The Plum Island Show has been a favorite of mine for the past 2 years and this season I had to back out!  This show is very small and very personable with great speakers always (has had Steve McKenna and Alberto in the past as well as Steve Papows who are all among the finest around) as well as having some fine vendors (#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and Point Jude Joe to mention a couple....not sure if they will be there this year??? Hope so?) Plum Island also has a great cause at heart and the chowder itself is worth the trip as well as the chili! MSBA is a fantastic show and has always been.....they cater to "The Fisherman".....all fishing all weekend with no fudge, no cookware and no BS! Great speakers and an atmosphere of fun and fellowship among those who wet a line as many gather there to chow down, have a cup of "Joe" and chew the fat about our sport! Free parking, ease of access and a reasonable door fee......you can't miss with this show! RISSA......a great show for its huge size and scope and the amount of vendors and selection, great speakers as well!!! I plan on hitting them all if I can!!  I miss the SWE show??  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'll definitely be at the MSBA show again this year. It's small enough to not get overwhelmed and there are good vendors. Best of all, it's in my town so I don't have to plan to be there for the whole day.
I've been to the RISSA show for about the last 5 or 6 years and I'll be back at that one. Always has good seminars and plenty of stuff to buy or just dream about buying. It's also a good place to meet some of the guys from this site like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, Canalman, Point Jude Joe, etc...
And, it's a great excuse to grab a bite at Federal Hill and/or take in the "performing arts" scene in Providence.  |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I probably don't attend enough shows to know what qualifies as a good one versus a bad one, but I attended the Salt Water Expo at the Garden State Exhibition Center in NJ a couple years ago and pretty much walked around like a kid in a candy store. I'll probably go to it this year. I think it's in March.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
