Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2025 / 2024 Ultimate Sport Show Grand...
Last post by djkimmel - February 26, 2024, 11:23:28 AMVolunteer schedule for the 2024 Ultimate Sport Show Grand Rapids. GreatLakesBass.com will be in booth 1929 next door to Wayne Carpenter, Xtreme Bass Tackle, at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. That's in the back right corner of the big room close to the Hawg Trough . Volunteers who help in the booth at least two (2) hours will get a free exhibitor pass to the show that is good for the whole show and cheap parking while you're working the booth.
You will get more details in the private volunteers area of the forum. You will be able to see it once I add you to the temporary show group. I need people who can talk to others in an outgoing, friendly fashion about joining the websites - mostly GreatLakesBass.com and GreatLakesIceFishing.com, handing out stuff and just answering general questions about fishing.
NO ALCOHOL in the booth. No sales of items in the booth.
This is only a 10x10 booth so please, no extra people behind the table who are not on the volunteer list. The schedule can be adjusted some to accommodate people willing to help who can't fit one of the existing time slots. I will setup the booth Wednesday. As usual, I need some extra help please on Saturday while I'm gone about 2 1/2 hours for the Ultimate Bass Clinic from 2:45PM to 5:15PM!! I also have Hawg Trough seminars on Thursday from 4pm - 5pm, Friday from 7pm - 8pm, and Sunday from 3pm - 4pm. At least stop by and visit. Keep me company!
THANK YOU for your HELP!
UPDATED 2/26/2024 (11:20AM): Booth 1929 - Please PM or contact me if you have a change or any questions.
All volunteers will be added for a year to the special GLBass Friends group if not already in there. And you will have my eternal thanks and appreciation! THANK YOU!!!!

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / Re: Fantasy fishing
Last post by djkimmel - February 24, 2024, 08:00:14 AMWell, we are off any running with 1 member already (me!)... the Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing group is "GreatLakesBass.com" and maybe I can even come up with some prizes if someone reminds me later that I said such.
I forgot to pick my teams so far this year. I'm securely in first and last place right now, though I tumble to last as soon as anyone else joins!

Ultimate Fishing Show Detroit 2025 / REMINDER! Outdoorama 2024 goin...
Last post by djkimmel - February 24, 2024, 07:46:42 AMGood morning everyone! Outdoorama 2024 is still happening. There's quite a bit of fishing tackle, rods and reels here! Also lots of boats to look at. Please come on down today, Saturday, February 24 or tomorrow, Sunday February 25 (or BOTH!) and visit. It's better than sitting at home watching reruns of Mama's Family.
I'm right next to Wayne Carpenter and his Fishing Information Service Headquarters / Xtreme Bass Tackle booth. I'm in booth 5767 on a corner. If you look up at the support pillars and see C9 way over close to the West wall in the MUCC aisle, you'll find me. Come tell me your latest fish story.
If you bring a group down, contact me first before you come and maybe I can help out a little. Email me at djkimmel at greatlakesbass DOT com. I'll watch for it just in case. Thanks! And have a good weekend!

Last post by djkimmel - February 21, 2024, 03:15:30 PMWell, I'm pleasantly surprised to hear from a couple of you. Thanks!
Skulley you changed your screen name and threw me a second! I think I actually put your name on a badge already or they just took my list from last year and copied it maybe? Not sure.
triton22, I'll have them make you a badge when I get there tomorrow. It will be at the back of the building inside from the Exhibitor's entrance - the part of the building that sticks out. If you remember that? If not, message me and I'll provide more information. THANKS!
