Handlebarz

I missed all the tank shows actually missed everything except the early musky Sunday stuff. I heard lots of great things from many people that were enjoying the show and talks.

From the large amount of people passing through our booth I can say the only a couple had complaints about this show. Some were even commenting on the one room they liked it. I am very impressed with the size if the show it has been a great time. Thank you to everyone for stopping over to the booth. It's been great getting time to catch up and also meet many Ofc members. Cheers Mike

Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone who is on Muskies first could take a min and go look at the link below. It is for their lure building contest I have entered they have the top 4 blade baits to be voted on if you can look at them then pic your favourite. My bait is the white tiger if you feel it looks the best I would love the votes. You can only vote once. If you like one of the others better vote for it but I would love your votes if you feel my bait should win. http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=101303&posts=2&start=1 Thanks Mike

Here is a shot a friend posted on Facebook today the young guy in the orange hat is a total musky freak he saves most of his money for musky fishing.

Awesome first day at the show for us it was nice and steady most of the day other then when KVD and Dave Mercer were speaking. Lots of people that never fished musky asking all kinds of great questions and were eager to learn about my passion for them. From what many were saying the show is great I have not had time yet to walk around and take in the other booths but will Sunday or Monday when my wife is here. Be sure to stop by abs say hi we are two booths from the Legend boat booth and the sausage guy

Lew that was the second thing I did when we up graded our 42"-70 first was watch some of my videos on it then I started to surf the net. You should be able to do it wireless Lew if your computer can connect through wifi. It's crazy to think how far TV has come I actually don't have to hook up through the computer it has Internet browser built in and when I get around to it I will get a wireless keyboard and run direct from it. Netflix is awesome

See ya all there

All weekend

Thanks guys the fuse does not blow right away it might last for 20 hours driving or 4 hours then blows

It was supposed to be but not sure now as they changed the number to 615

Yes the doors open at 7 am you can get them there. Looking forward to the show. We will have show specials buy 4 baits get a free shirt. Stop by our booth after the musky Sunday seminars.

I'm getting mine a one way train ticket to Toronto so she can join me for musky Sunday and family day at the spring boat and fishing show.

You guys are thinking like I am has to be a bare wire somewhere that will move and short out. I will be doing a complete rewiring of the trailer. The direct wire has a fuse in it we ran it direct from the battery it has very thick outer layer I'm sure that some of the old wire might have a chafe in it was just asking as this was the first time with Led lights on a car and trailer.

Hey all I have been blowing fuses on my direct wire for my trailer. The wire on the dodge journey was a Reese plug in style "fool proof" and we had to run a direct wire to the battery. The trailer has all led lights so it should not be over loaded I'm thinking. It has blown a 15A and a 20A Any ideas what to look for? I'm heading to Toronto tomorrow

Great report and awesome season Pete congrats and thanks for sharing it with us

I wanted to attend both shows for the last couple years but booth costs were crazy so for me it would not be worth it even for the exposure. This year I was able to get a canceled booth for a great price it only made sence to go to the fishing and boat show. I can totally see why others don't go when you figure out booth price hotel eating out daily for 5 days plus gas it adds up fast.

Hey all I have had a bunch of emails and a couple phone calls about my comment on getting into cabalas. I was joking in my response to another comment about their store having all the same gear as what will be at the fishing and boat show. Now when we do get into cabalas I will let ya all know. Looking forward to next weekend.

Awesome news cabelas just started to carry handlebarz woohoo.

My thoughts for NE was just let them score fast so you have extra time on the clock. I was with the rest of the world Lynch will run it in but was shocked to see it flying through the air. My wife and I were both yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO then the interception Woohoo what a great game. I am not a huge fan of either team but have always like watching the Pats. Back in the 90's I was Green Bay all the way but now I watch for players I like not any 1 team. Lynch is awesome to watch same as Wilson. I would have loved to see Indy there. Best Super Bowl I have seen in many years. Usually I head to bed at 9 to get sleep for work last night I stayed up for the end glad I did.

When I was younger we always had or went to big parties now its always the family. Dinner tonight chicken tacos breaded chicken breast and nachos nothing fancy I do have some meatballs here I might warm up also. I don't really care who wins but do like the pats. I am running a contest on Facebook for free lure shirt and other Handlebarz stuff. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=357094681141853&substory_index=0&id=100005239712666

George this thread reminds me of many many many talks we have had over the years. OFC has been a special place for me since I found it. Just about everyone that I do stuff with on a regular basis has come from this board. It's sad to say but it's true as many others in my life have headed on a different path. Great thread

I have been posting this around to help Laurie from Dixie tackle we all know how awesome she is well here is our chance to help her. Sorry if the link is not working I can not post the pics I'm in my phone in Ohio so if someone could that would be great. Someone has to know him. If you know this guy please make sure he reads this. Laurie is such a amazing person she just wants to be paid for the stolen glasses. She helps out the fishing and many other local community events that she does not deserve to be ripped off then have him post pics flipping her off. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=963447317018084&id=119487988080692

If I can get some passes I will post a quick contest here for them

Lew just think of the memories that your skeeter has brought and the new name you went from Rainbow Lew to Skeeter LOL and not to mention I see a lot of smiles from the old boat. Are you going to get down to the show?

Dang that's not good at all but like you and others have said its a toss out world now and cheapest is best. Dad bought a LG TV years ago it went on the crapper right away nothing but troubles with it we looked online and sure enough there was a day of reading on the same problems from LG I will never buy a LG product even if it was the last TV out there I will go with out. Hope they fix you up Lew if not I'm sure a OFC member will be able to make a fancy metal one for you.
