We will have a limited supply of most products available, and we will have display samples od most items. You will be able to see the Glacier III there as well.

We will also be posting a map here for our location. We will be in a double booth (235 & 237)

Feel free to walk right into the booth and have some fun talking ice fishing. That's what we're there for.

We hope to see you there.

What days are you going to be there? T-BONE and myself will be there with another vendor all 3 days and will have the ROCK&REEL, and the butt bridge, along with the plans for it. Looking forward to meeting some of the crew.

[Rick]

Hey wallEYES,
I will be there everyday. We intend to have the Rock-n-Reel & Butt Bridge on display at our booth. We also hope have plans for building the Butt Bridge available at the booth as well.

You and TBone better plan on spending a little time with us

[WallEYES]

RICK P
We will be over to meet some of your crew.

Here is a map of the Ice Show:

[Guest]

Umm, call me the village one-who-thinks-I-am-silly or whatever, but what the h*** is a "Butt Bridge"?

[Guest]

Hey Rick, I'll be there Saturday evening. I'll stop by and say hi. Looking forward to meeting you. I'm gonna try and meet up with Hawgtime too.

Good Fishin, Matt.

[Guest]

mwchiefs.....The Butt Bridge is a portable shanty seat I dreamed up last winter. I'll have one there that's all set up on a display stand. You can step right up and sit on it and be the judge of how it feels for you. It spans the tub (like a bridge) and it's all wood and only weighs ten pounds. Go to the "Equipment-Expert Info" thread on the Forum menu. Anyone who ever built a go cart or a tree stand can build this. I don't have time to make any more myself so the plans will be available....Hey Rick! The display will take up a whopping 3.5 square feet of floor space. Is that gonna be ok wit ya?

i am a newbie to ice fishing and i am planning on going this weekend (never been to anything like this before). how late is it open friday, and is there anything i need to know.
well i think ice fishing is about the best thing to be addicted too even though ive spend more ice fishing then gambling by far

[Crawlerman]

I wasn't able to get any of the days off work; but Fri and Sat it's open till 9? Hmm... Don't have anything planned for sat... might go after work Still leaves me with 4 hours by the time i'd get there. Knowing this, unless we get a super blizzard or I catch flu, I'll be there. I allready got the Auger; but I may do other shopping/browsing as well. Will you have hats/logos/bumper stickers? Might have to get a sticker for the truck and see what else interests me. And take a look at the Glaicer.

Also: what's the cost of the show again?

[MNice]

T-Bone & WallEYES, don't know for sure what day I'll be there, but I will make it sometime.

Jeff.

Hey all,

I am looking forward to the Ice Show, specifically, meeting FM fisherman. SO when you stop by make sure you let us know who you are, both your FM name and alias!LOL

Can anyone say ICE!!!!!!!!!!!!??

Keep the rods bendin'!!!

[Rick]

Hey TBone,
I think we can fit in 3.5 sq. ft. of space for the Butt Bridge.

Crawlerman, the cost I believe is $7.

We will also have several new innovative items at the show not currently offered on the site.

One is the Rock-n-Reel. These will be hard to come by this season. I recommend that if you can get your hands on one of these, GET IT. This is going to be one sweet balanced Rod Holder.

Another is The Black Box This baby holds your fish finder, has a padded holder for your transducer, a special box for your battery, a light for your hole, and a lighted area for glowing jigs. It is tough as nails too. It is also much easier to change over for charging and back to being ready to go. We only have 8 of these available at the show.

Mr. Jigger will be on the opposite side of our booth, be sure to check them out. I have some reservations on this balanced Rod Holder, but it is definitely an improvement on most Rod Holders out there.

We will also have some very inexpensive Rod Holders for you to check out as well.

There will also be some new Jigs available that you really should take a look at.

I really hope to see you at the Show, please stop by and say hello. Walk right into the booth and we'll have a good time talking Ice Fishing.

[The Chemist]

Rick: If I can get away from the house I will stopp off those poles for you to check out.

[Rick]

Chemist,
I hope to see you and those Rods at the show

[Jim W]

bump....again

[Sarge]

I still may have to work this weekend, but if not I'll be there!

[DARK30]

Boy! Sounds like a good bunch on the list. I'm gonna sure try to make it....I'd like to maybe get a few autographs.

My wife's quote: "Sure, no problem..Leave the VISA at home."

bump

[Russ&Judy]

trying to figure out how to get out of trimming the xmas tree sat and come down; maybe there would be some room for us to stand and b.s.

[Guest]

I would bet there is a lot of room for talk!!

[Jim W]

Instead of bumping again,

I am curious who all is going up to the ICe SHow?
Make sure you stop and say hi at least to Fishhead if no one else!!!

I'll be there. helping a friend at his booyh for a while.

[Rick]

I'm back and I'm not all set-up yet. Back at it again tomorrow.

After you go to the show and get back, I'd like you to post on this thread to tell everyone about YOUR experience.

You are all invited to come right on into our booth and talk ice fishing. Plan to spend a little time with us and fellow FMers.

We need YOUR help to make this a fun booth.
