I'll be there, can't beat the food and friends on Sat night, bonus is a few new baits to take home and finding homes for ones I no longer use....

[Jmeyers]

I'll have to check it out

[delmuts]

Unless things on the Miss. really go to pot; We'll be there!

[brad coin]

not a muskie item,,,but Im looking for a pair of stockingfoot waders size 12 or bigger,,have to be stockingfoot not bootfoot,,any material neo,nylon,etc

[BorderView]

Can my 16yo son get in with me and stay to watch the band?

[brad coin]

borderview

your 16 yr old is very much welcome to the swap,,,the band however is in O'garas garage which is their music venue and I think you have to be 18,,but their will be the majority of the people in the swapmeet side/room until closing past 1am talking muskies,,,Im sure if you want to hop in and see the band for a while your kid will have plenty of people to talk with or sit with.

[brad coin]

just so you guys know,,,you can park across the street in the 'ASSOCIATED BANK" parking lot. there is a guard that sits in a little guard shack he is NOT there to collect money for parking,,parking is free he just watches the vehicles because O'garas gets a huge weekend crowd

[bonefish]

I've never been to the swap, so I'm looking forward to my first time. If the swap starts at 7, what time should people with things to sell get there?

[Esox_Magnum]

6-7-8 whenever you can get there...

[Esox_Magnum]

Good time as awlways, good seeing you guys, Del, Shawn, Basser,Hugo,Kodiak, Dave, Reble, and anyone else I forgot. Till next year, have a good season...

[Andrew Erickson]

esox, good luck with that dawg you bought from me! would've kept it but i'm more of a fan of the natural colors.

[Esox_Magnum]

Hey thank's, I like having something different. Already in the Lakewoods awaiting a water test later this week

[delmuts]

WOW! The swap meet was huge! Had hoped to meet more people from here , but that didn't happen. Lots of stuff!!!

[HugoBox]

Hey Delmuts -

I was sitting with Propster in right up against the windows with my back to Snelling - had a cooler full of baits and a couple 7Ks sitting on the table.

I'm guessing we must have met - I was there from 6 until about 9.

It was a good time. I wish I could have made my rounds earlier though - there were some good deals to be had for sure.

I picked up half a dozen baits that were on my list. It saved me a lot of money. I can't wait to get them in the water.

[brad coin]

one of the pros came home with an Irishgirl fom O'garas,,and I dont mean a bucktail,,he was a hurt unit on sunday with 1 hour sleep but said 'it was worth it'

[delmuts]

I'm certain we talked!( or atleast i looked at your stuff! ) The bad thing is/was, the only person i knew there was Esox, and two of his buddies i met last spring at a tournament.

Would have liked to stayed, but couldn't find any where to sit.( food looked good!!)

I was proud of myself at the show and swap meet. Had a list of things and stayed to it.
