Has anyone been to this years show? If so, is it worth the trip? Looking for fishing stuff. Thanks

[Ken Kinser]

Normally has good hunting shows not much on the crappie fishing, BPS having their spring sale starting the 29th,would probley be better for buying fishing equipment

i make the trip to bass pro spring sale and spend a lot more money than i should every year

I had heard that there was more fishing stuff this year than in the past. Guess I'll wait for BPS Sale.
I know what you mean about BPS. I catch myself buying things and getting home finding the very same items in the tackle box. This year I'm making a list before I go. Probably won't help my addition but it's a start!

You need to buy one of those big white coolers to bring home the slabs you are going to catch at the Big G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Downwind,

We went today and wish I had saved the money. Not much there again this year. It's a good show if you're into turkey & deer hunting, but lacks on fishing. A couple places to get rods, grubs and jigs but not too much for crappie. Seems to be getting fewer and fewer fishing booths each year. For a Saturday, there wasn't to many folks there around 1 p.m. today. Probably our last trip there.

Thanks Larry-Not much has changed in their offering over the years.

I too went today, just to get out of the house. Craig Hipsher was the only crasppie guide/booth I saw. He gave a seminar at 1pm but i missed it. He will be doing it again tomorrow. First time I had been in a couple years and I agree - not much for fidhing

i went friday night, ordered some custom rods that i did not really need, this was my second year, i enjoyed it.
