The booth has been open since 1pm and is already seeing a lot of action. It should be a great show!

Went today and stayed long enough for the crappie show at 5:00 and it was very good. It looked to me that over all attendance was down. The talk that Doug gave was very good and if you have not talked to hightide you are missing out. He did a great job and even gave out some "secrets" I think he knew that most of old guys would not remember anything, (HA) Thanks again for all the information Doug GREAT JOB>
