Ortlo Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Great show - can't wait. I have a hard time finding a certain lure but I know I can get it there and so much more at the ice fishing show. I might be "that guy" - first in line.Orty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18 inch Crappie Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Is FM having a booth there? if Not you should. Interduce other people to the site. Maybe give away some stickers or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted November 17, 2005 Author we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted November 17, 2005 We don't plan on being there and forum policy prevents us from saying why. Let's just say we were very popular the last time we were there. We reserved the same spot for the following year asking to expand if it was possible. Our spot was taken away and they wanted our booth in a location we didn't want. Our spot went to an Ice Team sponsor.We'll have Fishing Minnesota and Ice Leaders staff there in other booths as noted in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCHAAKATTACK Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Anyone know if there are discount coupons available anywhere? Seems to me last yaer I got them at one of the sporting shows or somethingh like that. Hey if I can save a buck...Where your booth would have been wouldn't have mattered rick we would have found it and I bet you guys would be busy. Maybe you should have some fliers ready for those at the other booths or some small freebie stickers. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted November 18, 2005 Author we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted November 18, 2005 Our North Dakota Forum Staffer Jeff Dosch will be there representing Fishing Minnesota and Ice Leaders as well. His booth number for the St. Paul Ice Fishing Show is #443 and the booth will have Dosch's Guide Service and the Great American Inn and Suites. They will be promoting their packages for the upcoming season. This would be a great time for people who are interested in Devils Lake to stop by and visit with Jeff. He is very knowledgeable and will be happy to help you out. To get more info on Jeff use: www.doschguides.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icedog Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 There are coupons in the Midwest Outdoors "Ice Breakers" edition on news stands now. See Page 69...hard to spot, but it is there. $2 off Friday and $1 off Sat & Sun I think?Does anyone know when the "Crappie Tom" seminar will be held on Friday? Thx,icedog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 CrappieTom won't be giving a seminar, he will be at the MarCum Technologies booth on Friday. Although I'm sure he'll be giving several seminars at their booth throughout the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 think they will have any lx-3's at the reeds sale price? kinda hard to beat that deal they had going on $279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Matt and Dennis, we seem to have a fair amount of FM members that work the booths or give seminars at this and the sportsmans shows. Is there any way we can get these guys to wear an FM sticker or something so we know who they are? It would just be pretty cool to finally figure out who some of these people are. Just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 CrappieTom and I will have the FM logo and our names on our shirts. Expect to see Tom in the MarCum booth on Friday. And I'll be in the Thorne Bros booth all day on Saturday. Today's Tackle also has their booth set-up inside Thorne Bros and I'll be there too. On Sunday I'll be at the show as well, but I'll be moving around jumping from various different booths. More than likely I'll spend most of my day at Thorne Bros and Today's Tackle again though.I'm also working on making it there on Friday for a few hours.Anyone who makes it to the show, please feel free to stop by and say hi. Like mnfishinguy said, it's always nice to meet some of the people we see/read here in the forums. Always nice to put a face with a few of the names...And anyone who wants a FishingMinnesota.com hat can order one here off the site, and you can even have you user name embroidered on the side of it if you wish (contact them direct via phone if you wish to have your name on the hat) Here's a link... FM Logo WearYou can also get a shirt if you'd like as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMickish Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Matt, any FM only specials at Thorne Bros?? I plan on picking up a reel or two somewhere there, and maybe something to compliment my perch sweetheart, only a little heavier for walleye. I'll be there on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Johnson Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Thorne Bros has a few different options for walleye. If you want to stop by while I'm there I can run you through all the different options and help you get a feel for which one will suit you the best... As far as any specials, I suppose you'll have to talk with the people behind the cash register But usually Thorne Bros will offer up some deals during the Ice Show...

hanson Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 If anyone is looking to hang out, chat, etc.I plan on being down at the show most of Friday evening. I have to work until 5pm and then I'll head over.I'll have my FishingMinnesota lid on, "Hanson" embroidered on the back. If anyone wants to plan a meeting spot and time for fellow FMers to hook up, that'd be cool! Any interest?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebco4040 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I will be down there working for Jiffy on Saturday & Sunday. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ill be there all day Friday and some of Sat. Got to get back for the evening walleye bite on a local pond. Maybe we should meet by a certain booth about 6pm? How about in the corner by Marine General? We could sit and test out the new seats on the icehouses. Man the new Frabil seats are awesome. Anyone else see them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have seen them and sat in them. I agree. Pretty sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booshy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'll have to say I'm disappointed and can't believe there will not be a FM booth. I guess the good news is that FM staff will be scattered about so maybe we can just consider the show floor being a booth for FMers!! I will be there on Sun. looking to find a "deal". Hope to run across some of ya, see ya there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 say_der, I used the Fish Brothers tip-ups last winter and think I'm hooked for good. Compact, self enclosed storage, tangle free and highly visible. You can set the strike sensitivity to super light. I added a set of bells to the reel and have a audible alert now too.
