Then I would definitely recommend you stop and see me by 9:05 am Saturday. 

[ROI Outdoors]

There will be some more secret baits showing up around 10am...............

[djkimmel]

Are secret baits supposed to show up late?

[LAPORTE]

It's 7:40 pm.  Many vendors have already set up for tomorrow, and the rest first thing in the morning.  I promised myself I would not buying anything before it opens tomorrow, but Foley from South Street had brought me a special secret weapon, so I had to take it. 

Doors open at 9am with lots of special pricing, so plan on coming early, and staying late!

And as always, please look me up to say hi.  I have a couple of really special boat deals available as well.

See you all tomorrow!

We were up there last night loading up the racks with baits. Man South Street Tackle is loaded with Jackal, War Eagle, Strike Zone, River 2 Sea and Reaction Innovation plus many more. Stop by and say Hi to Keith and Ron.

McCarter has a huge amount of stuff as well. His pouring station was overflowing with baits ready for the show the last time I was over.

This is going to be a good one for sure. Its a good time to stock up before that trip to KY lake for all of you NBAA guys and Gail's..

I wish i could be there but Ford wanted me 12 hours today... grrr

What are you "grrr-ing about Don.  You are making extra $$$ when a lot of people are not making any $$$ at all.  I think it is a good thing.  Our state is still under much duress and when given the opportunity and I do mean "opportunity" to work some O.T. we should embrace it as auto workers.  We are luckier than most and we as the middle class are still under attack.  Keep working hard brother.  The show will be there for you tomorrow unless of course you are going in for Sunday Double Time and the lakes will still be there full of fish for you to catch when you have those cherished days off.  It could have been worse for all of us autoworkers.  We could have been all laid off and out of work.  So embrace it my union brother.............your making money when a lot of people are still out of work.

I stopped in today
Dan was guarding the front door or there for a quick exit
Saw drop shot Denny and old jigger and picked up some Smallie smasher baits a few jigs along with  some of JJ's.
The free advice was priceless to me
THen I headed over to the Nemesis table and bought a few packs of the 3" goby's (Brain wasn't there yet)
And I saw Scott at the Revolution Baits table and picked up a pack of his Goby's as well.

After that I made my way back to the Hot dogs and picked up a 7 pin to 5 pin plug that I lost last year

All in all. Nice open house.
Only wish that I could buy the new Ranger 620 that they had on the lot

It was great to see everybody there this year and to meet some new people as well.

Thanks again the Mitters, Ralph and the entire Wonderland crew for the opportunity to show Optimum Baits, ima and the new Reins soft plastics and tungsten line up.

No mention of the sweet golf cart driving skills, not to mention the "Hey, need a ride?!"  I could've kept rollin'... Man, some people....

[dartag]

I think there was more tackle than the Novi show.  Just no toasted almonds.

[djkimmel]

First time I didn't get to drive the golf carts... nice show with possibly a record in the fish story telling category. Signed up a few more members to join our fun. Thanks to Paul Mitter, Ralph Blasey (FOB), Scott, Chris and all the rest of the Wonderland Marine West crew.

[McCarter]

Sorry i missed  you Royce.  Got called into action Saturday.  Didnt end up making it to the show til 4:30. 

I didnt do a whole lot of mingling sunday.  I had a hard time keeping my eyes open while i was tying jigs.  I cant wait til i get all caught up on orders and can take a night or two off and just SLEEP!!!  ugh, well i better get back to work if i type any longer i am likely to fall asleep and burn this shop down.
