Minnesota Muskie Expo

[Tippman]

I'll be stopping in to say hi JC. Didn't know that was you disguised as 10,000 casts on here. I got my lakewood and way too much other muskie stuff from you and Jeff up there. Can't wait for the expo as I've never been before. This muskie stuff is way too addicting.

[10,000 Casts]

Ya, "JC" wasn't my choice but there are 2 Johns and the other John has been there for a long time. My wife still calls up and asks for John.

One of the things that I noticed while working the show last year is that the complex really empties into the seminar area when someone is speaking and it can be a ghosttown for about an hour then they all file back out when it's done. I will have to take a few early beer brakes!

Hey Luke!!! I texted you a while ago... about the Expo...

End of the year was way better for seeing n catching muskies after that Mille Lacs trip with you compared to the earlier months... I fished at French... 3 trips... 7 muskies... partner boated two... I lost 5... *sigh*

Pink sucks??? Odd because you're the one whos responsible for getting me all stuck on pink LOL Its all good man...

Text me... we oughta get out again sometimes!!! My brother said hello... and he wouldnt mind joining us next time... Just need to get the muskie fever bite him again!!!

I havent seen those Supergirls yet... but I definitely will get few at the Expo... I already have an Abu Garcia 7000iC3 and will get other reel like that at the Expo then mate both reels to a brand new 8'6 custom rods from KT Pro Edge... You're welcome to try one combo and see how it feels for you!!!

Take care!!! Good to hear from you!!! Text me sometimes!

What is the method of payment expected at the show is it mostly cash or do a lot of vendors take the good ole credit card?

[MuskieMojoTackle]

Many vendors will accept credit cards (I do), but I would be sure to have cash on hand in case something you want is not available by that method.

Cash is still king.

[Rebel9921]

I'll be carrying both... partly why Im going there two days... In case I run out of cash and some places dont accept card on friday, I'll get with cash on Saturday... 14 days left from tomorrow!!!!

[Rebel9921]

Esox... nothing yet but Im sure the info will come after people are done with the Ohio Muskie Expo this weekend... Im keeping my eyes peeled on this forum and several others... its bound to come out somewhere...

[dfricke1010]

My uncle lives in Ohio and he is going to the musky expo this weekend.

[Rebel9921]

WOOHOO!!!! Ohio Expo is DONE... now its 11 days left til MINNESOTA MUSKIE EXPO at Blaine... I just feel like its the day before the Muskie Season Opener... 2 days of "CHRISTMAS" for me right there!!!

My worst worries are coming true... Im having hard time going to sleep... and Im starting to run out of things to keep myself busy... in fact I just had to start a new project... building a roof rack that will hold 10 rods... the roof rack will be attached to the ceiling... Im using oak and pvc pipes for this one...

How bad is it for any of you??? I know Im already getting some ribbing from AWH and Chris for this... but its all good!!!

[Esox_Magnum]

Ice fishings helping but not as much as it once was. Box has been rearanged and all thats left is spool a couple reels and decide what reels go on what new rods. After Blaine is when things will get tougher seeing we will still have drivable ice.

Only 2 Days Left. 3 for me i cant get there till Saturday. this will be my first expo how big is it and how much time should i allow to get to everything?

[Rebel9921]

KKeoth... well I was told that there would be 140 booths... and someone else posted on other forum saying there will be 126+ booths... so its pretty big... If I was you, I would be there when the door opens on Saturday... never know how much products could be left over from Friday... especially custom lures...

2 days for me!!!
