Yeah, the place where we are holding our anual April get together at Ky. Lake will have a booth at the QCCA expo center this Feb. 14th --17th. Their name is Ky. Lake Resort, and it is a first class place to do your fishing and take your family.

Stop and see them and tell them WIF sent you. Schoe

Tried to stop and see them Schoe, but they were very busy. Wife and I enjoyed listening to the Walleye Pro, and talking to a gentleman about fishing in Canada. Got a good deal on a Zebco Underspin reel, and paid $8 for a big tub of Wicked Sticky. It was unfortunate that there were not more fishing equipment vendors. Most of the floor space seemed to be taken by boats.

its been like that for a while....3/4 of the floor is full of boats...not enough vendors.

we do have some great seminars year after year.....its about the only thing worth my time... although the infisherman guy was pretty boring...i enjoyed the walleye pro talking about fishing new waters...great tips..

[cambridgefisherman]

yeah i watched that show too. I ended up buying some crappie tackle and that was about it.

I took a small nap while the In-Fisherman guy was talking. I woke up just in time to hear him wrap up a 10 minute speach about how great some lure was. His closing statement was - "I've never used this lure myself, but I'm sure it works great." WOW...glad I woke up for that comment.

Jason did a good job. He was much easier to listen to.

I was very disapionted in the lack of fishing equip for sale also. I wanted to check out a new depth finder while I was there, and there weren't any to be looked at.

Well it looks like WIF needs to have a booth there next year not only promoting the web site but have a good selection of Rods and Reels, Lures, at a good price and a well rounded selection of Walleye and Pan Fish jigs.

I think I know part of the problem is the cost of the space at the Expo. Center and the local economy being what it is you would have to sell a hell of a lot of tackle just to make expenses

We would have to get a double space to do what I want to do and could more than likely get a couple of vender's that have tackle to share expenses. Time will tell. Schoe

i might be interested gittin in on that one....gonna start makin custom soft plastics fer bass,walleye an stripers ta go long with the jigheads an lures im makin now.

[hnd]

a where i fish booth would be awesome and something I feel would get alot of traffic we could get this site a boomin...

i don't even know if we'd need to sell anything....i don't want people to think that its a shopping website...maybe hand out some t-shirts or giveaway some poles or something...
