Blaine Muskie Show

[10,000 Casts]

Who all is going to the show?

Should be a good show. Last year I was only able to attend late Sun but this year I am planning to spend more time down there. And since I am addicted to buying muskie lures, thats probably not a good thing. So I would like to hit some of the seminars.

What do you guys know about the Sat presenters.

-Mark Windels, Harrasers

-Russ Smith, Smitty Baits

-Mike McCullen, Fudally Tackle

-Jeff Woodruff, Leech Lake guide

Also, are there ever any lure swap meets? I have some lures that need good homes where they will be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Not so much about what one knows about the persons mentioned to me.

Simply what you can learn from them by listening an asking questions.

Each person presenting has a different style.

Each person asking questions has different needs an fishing style also.

An everyone takes something away that will help you bring things together to have more fun on the water.

Blaine show is fun.

My Bonnie "NoFIsh" flashes that smile an a couple other things an always brings home a nice big bag O goodies for her stash.

Do more people watching myself than anything else.

But for sure heckle some from the back an always find something that I can use sometime on the water.

No doubt a good ticket to ride.

Keep on Rocken!

Tom! Glad to see things are kicking good. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the kid's class at Joe's in a few weeks. What day do you want to be there? Let's e-mail outside of this and pin down the day.

As for the Muskie Show, Tom hit the nail on the head. I write articles about catching fish but just remember that there's no such thing as a silver bullet and there's no one way to do it. Listen, ask questions, and then do what works for you always trying new things out.

Anybody have any good stories of getting a good deal at the Muskie Expo? It used to be that a lot of the merchants would wheel and deal with you but it seems tougher the last few years. Any ideas?
