Handlebarz Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I went to the Spring Show in 09 intending to pick up a couple musky baits but came home with a new Skeeter instead. The day cost me a tad more than I planned on spending 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 you went from Rainbow Lew I still laugh every time I think of the nasty nasty PM I received after making that post, that was some really funny stuff Mike No, I won't be going to the show this year, I don't fish much anymore and don't use even a fraction of the gear I have now. Maybe it's time for a garage sale LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) It would be nice to see you Sunday morning Lew, its a whos-who of the Muskie world, and your smiling face should be there!

musky_hunter Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Will be going all 4 days. Should be a great turnout this year.

Meegs Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Poured jigs all weekend getting ready for it. Been awhile since I've been but starting to get excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) No deals anymore and when you figure in entrance fees, parking, food and beverage you payed more then double for anything you bought there. And now with Cabela's in the area why bother to go and pay to see the same stuff Cabela's has everyday on their shelves.

BillM Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is this going to be another thread where guys constantly complain about prices and how it's not like it was in the 80's? Reality check folks, it's NEVER going to be like that again, get over it, lol. I love going to the fishing show, and I rarely ever spend $$$ on tackle there.

outllaw Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 guys shows in winter are a great break from canuck winters. as for products. normally the new and latest styles and colors appear. as for pricing on products ,please remember lure builders are hostages also. parts/pieces go up every day. when canadien dollars fall parts are more expensive.smaller and custom builders have a love,cause it certainly isn't buying them a better cut of beef for the table..
