I thought about going down this weekend. Russ Bailey is supposed to be there.
Wheres it at?
Bass Pro. I think Crappiemax and I might be going, not sure what time the seminar is though.
I went sat afternoon with a couple buddys, sat through a seminar put on by a Crappie pro from Ohio, it was pretty good info I learned more about spider rigging!, plus I got to register to win the new PT175. Crappie madness is going on now, but I really dont see that many things on sale, I did buy a few slip bobbers at roughly a dollar off!
That's who EFslabs and I are hoping to see.Quote:

Mike Walters and I did the seminars last weekend, and it was quite an event with a BIG crowd... I had over 70 attendees for my seminar and Walters did two that had at least 50 people at each (first 25 get a stainless steel coffee cup). Great prices on plastics like Bobby Garland, and a lot of stuff for the kids, as well. Another one of Ohio's finest (Russ Bailey) will be on Friday night and all day Saturday... it's a great way to beat the winter blues!
My dad and I went to see Mike Walters last Friday. He was a good speaker and it was good to hear his approach to tournament fishing. I got excited about the boat they were giving away when I filled out the form. They said that only people attending the seminars were eligible to win. Of course, then I realized that almost surely means every seminar at every bass pro in the US. But, I didn't go to win a boat. I went to hear a crappie pro speak and it was worth the trip.
I'm going to win the boat....
Couldn't get there until after the 1st seminar but did get to meet/talk with Russ for a few minutes. Seems like a nice enough guy. Stocked up on more fishing gear that I don't really need but better than sitting in the house. Bought a 30# Minnkota trolling motor for a 12ft john boat that was given to a family member. Planning on spending an evening or 2 in that this year.
I made it to the 2:00 seminar with EFslabs. Russ gave a nice seminar on crank baits. We talked to Russ for a few minutes after it was over. I sure wish he still had his show on TV.
I listened to Russ at 2:00 seminar too, maybe next seminar We should wear name tags, I would of liked to say hey to you guys or at least put a name with a face. I had hoped that Russ would of talked more about spider rigging vs. throlling but its always good to learn more.
went to bass pro today and bought me a new reel. abu orra s10. so ready for warmer weather, not an ice fisherman i am fair weathered lol! thinking about buying a new humminbird 581hd di fish depth finder. any thoughts on this item? i know if i wait til 3-12 i can get triple rewards, free installation, and the gear guard 3yr protection on this product.
