Fishing show

[blakstr1]

got into the show via the 2 for 1 coupon I got in the mail along with a Combat Fishing flyer...Thanks Wayne (or whoever sent it?)  Didn't take me long to make my way to your booth either and snatch up some fo the grn/pkn w/pur/cht.  great combination!

Have to agree with Blakstr here, that new color is sweet.  I generally don't throw more than a couple basic colors, but this one is going to get some time in the rotation any time I am near weeds.

[djkimmel]

I'm telling you, that is my number one color on St. Clair and quite a few other places too...

Had a great time at the show and enjoyed helping Wayne out on Friday.  Saturday we just walked around and checked everything else out.  The new tubes and grubs look great.  I have to order them though because I didn't get a chance to pick some up.  Grr.

Poorboy, I saw you there by Wayne's booth, but you were busy talking to a few guys, so I figured I wouldn't barge in. 

I saw Gaarza   I think that's his name?  there working at Wonderland too.  I didn't know you worked for them?

well thats crazy Tom, I was at Wayne's booth Friday, looked right at your name tag...knew I should know the name but didn't realize who you were until right now..otherwise I would've said hi. 

All of the members of this board should have gotten name tags with their screen names on them to wear!

See you next time!

[Revtro]

That's hillarious!  I kind of thought the same thing the other day.  Next year, I will put Revtro on my name tag!  I did run into a few other people I haven't seen in a long time which was cool too. 

So did the show give you all the fix you needed to hold you over until the season starts or did it make you more antsy?  It kind of made me more antsy.  Grrr.

yeah it was just a cruel teaser..i should have went back down for one more day..might have made me feel better..who knows.  i'll be at the BPS spring classic in march all 3 days (FishHedz) by the end of that i'll be so ready to fish i'm sure i'll be driving my wife to a new level of annoyed!

Now that the Ultimate fishing show is over, and I forgot to get Wayne's Marked Map series. I was wondering if he will be at Out-Door-Rama??? I knew I was forgetting something when I was walking away from his booth.

I don't think he will be at Outdoorama. I'm pretty sure anyway.

Just call him at toll free:  877-485-2223

He might have them on the eBay store too - just click the Combat Fishing logo at the top of the forum.

Chase, definitely give him a call.  He'll get the stuff right out to you.  I highly recommend the marked maps.  You hear guys all the time mention landmarks or areas of the lake like you're just supposed to know exactly what they mean.  It can be frustrating.  The marked maps really help you get into the right areas.  Since the lake is so big, you just can't have someone tell you "go fish the St. Clair light" and expect to go there and fish exactly the right area.  The marked maps will help you zero in on the right places to fish.  Plus they give you additional info if you get the newsletter.

Ya Rev, that was me working with Wonderland... You shoulda said something. I don't think we've ever formerly met. This is my second year with them... I help out at the shows and with any other things I can help with... If you ever wanna trade in your BassCat come see me and we can get ya into a Stratos or a Ranger...

I had a great time at the show... I got to meet some of our new Ranger guys which was really cool. It's always nice to meet more people who bass fish... I didn't buy anything except for Kim's video... Sitting around awesome bass boats was good enough for me... I was thinking about sleeping in a rod locker so I didn't have to leave...

How did the show go sales wise for you?  I stopped and talked to Marti N. for a bit, met him last year at a tournament, i think he sold one the first day but don't know much after that, he said the first one was easy...its all uphill from there...

[225XS4Garza200PXL]

It was pretty slow for me anyway... Saturday was pretty busy... I talked to a bunch of great people though and hopefully we can get them into a new Stratos or Ranger boat...
