Fishing show comments

[cram]

Just returned from the fishing show, and wanted to share a few comments.....

 

1 - thank you TJ for the free ticket. Much appreciated.

 

2 - learned a bunch about carp fishing from a guy who i believe may have been hammercarp? Is your name Lorne? If so, i was the bald guy in the dark grey sweater. Thanks for the advice...i'm going to try it out this summer.

 

3 - was able to pick up a manta glide bait at JB's (?). I have not seen mantas anywhere else....that alone was worth the trip.

 

4 - of the *new gear* being sold at the show, the only one that looked really useful to me was a line cutter that you afix to your rod instead of using a knife/scissors/nail-cutters - zip cut pro. Looked pretty good . I picked up 3 of them.

 

5 - also picked up some kangaroo and camel sausage....only at shows like this will you see that stuff. Can't wait to try iit.

 

6 - Pete Maina is quite the character. Very entertaining. Had really hoped to catch Jim Saric as well, but timing didn't work out. Maybe next year.

Glad you had a good time, Cram.

Yup. That was me. If you have any other questions about carp ask away.

I wondered after the fact. Thanks again for the advice. Visit my in-laws cottage once or twice a summer and usually see a bunch of carp. Tried for them once with a mixture of cornmeal and crab-apple jellly rolled up into balls. (obviously) didn't know what i was doing....

 

Will try again this summer armed with what you taught me today.

I hope you get some real drag burners! Can't wait for the pictures.

I tried a sample of both the kangaroo and camel pepperettes and I think I liked the camel better so I bought those ones. Kangaroo burgers are really good. I haven't eaten my camel burgers yet. This was the first time I noticed those pepperettes at the show. They've had alligator before but it was hot so you couldn't tell what it was. Still good though.
