    Guys:

    Even though the weather is butt cold outside right now.

    It’s that time of the year again

    Who’s going?

    What’s on your shopping list?

    Planning on the show since we had grass. Checking Reeds for deals on Lowrance HDS 7 gen 2 touch.. They usually have best samples on hand. Also want to take in a seminar or two. Usually a quality show.

    I’ll have a booth there and will be booking dates and running some show specials on full and half day guide trips. I’ll also be selling Stealth tackle products in my booth.

    If nothing else, stop by and say hi and we’ll talk Muskies or smallies…

    Will you have weighted leaders in stock? Those are on my replace list since I missplaced the 2 I have/had/lost whatever…

    Well, the plan is for John to send up a package of his “best sellers” for Friday of the show. He won’t be up until Saturday. So if anybody is looking for any Stealth products that aren’t your straight forward Fluoro or wire leaders… Let me know.

    Shaley, let me know exactly which weighted ones you’re looking for and I’ll make sure to have them there.

    I think I’m gonna put a kabosch on the spending

    I’ve been buying items to add to the arsenal since before we had ice

    The icing on the cake was the new I-pilot link

    I know I can’t say I’m not buying anything cause we all know how well that usually works

    I’m really just planning to hang out and talk muskies with some old friends, and hopefully make some new friends too

    I’ll be there to get my reels cleaned and to hear Larry Dahlberg’s seminar.

    I’m probably not going to spend too much (famous last words). I just need a few new DCG’s, but I might pick them up at the swap meet if I can get lucky.

    AJ:

    If nothing else, send me a pm with your number or give me a call cause I’m gonna be up on Vermillion chasing muskies Aug 5-12th and I’m gonna be fishing alone most of the time so I’ll have some room in the boat if you want to hook up

    I’m probabaly also gonna be up there doing some scouting around the 3rd week of July

    Had a great bday AJ, thanks man! I was up north with the wife and my girls. Did a little snow shoeing on a fresh 5″ of snow from Friday… Last year it was 80 degrees on my Bday! crazy

    Shaley, Your weighted leaders are going to be there. John is sending them up. Look forward to meeting you.

    Last year I was in the 2nd or 3rd row from the back on the left side. By the bucktail burning contest thingy, also right next to Nimmer Swimmer… So my ears are worn out by the end of the day with those two going at it. Also by Custom X…Not sure if I have the same spot or not this year?

    Look for this banner…

    Might have to pick up something to keep my ‘Psyco Sister’ company. I think she is getting lonely. I’m assuming I get to watch BCurtis blow his wad again this year at the Expo.

    A Dirty B would work well to keep your psyco company in your box! You think Brent has anything left after this long winter?? Maybe Ann will buy some baits for him
