Anyone going?? My son and I talked about making a weekend of it, but some work came up for me so I can't leave tomorrow. That means we would have to do a commando run on Saturday. 4 hrs driving, go to the show and 4hrs driving home. I am just wondering if anyone here was going and if so, post here if it is worth the trip form Nashville.
I haven’t heard about it! Where is it?Quote:

I will have to check that out. Only an hour up the road
I have been before and am hoping to go this time as well. It is about 2 hrs from me and I like seeing all the gear. Not a ton of crappie fishing stuff but enough to make you spend some money.
Just checked it's 4.5 to 5 hr drive for me. Not worth it for me I don't believe.
I’ m going it is a 2 hr drive for
me but I think it is worth the drive . I went to The one 3 years ago and loved it . Picked some freebies and got a lot of info .

Never been to any fishing expos. Close enough to be worth a look.
I noticed Leland Lures is on the vendors list. Don't some of those guys show up around here from time to time? Maybe they will offer us some insight later today after the show starts.
Leland’s Lures will be there. Stop by and say hello to my nephew working the booth. His name is Roy. I was supposed to go and work the booth but decided not to.Quote:

I think we have decided to give it a go. It is a long drive, but for reasons I don't understand, Nashville doesn't seem draw good shows like this anymore. When I was in my 20's and even into my 30's aside from the Nashville Boat Show, we would get a couple of really good outdoor shows. A few years ago a nice one came to Lebanon, but the following year it was a 5th of the size. I don't mind making the trip for a show that is worth it. I hope this one is.
If the snow isn't too bad I'll be heading to this one.

I believe the VA show is canceled. I was going but checked their site, called off due to snow.
I’m going to the one in Knoxville TN

We went to the one in Knoxville. Crowded but crappie fishing was well represented.
I wish I could have gone but have been sick and little one has Covid so best not to go. I usually go when they have it and enjoy it.
We had everything set up to go, and work came up. I hate missing it, but I am glad it turned out to be a good show.
No matter what I tried they came out sideways.
I ended up with a B&M Sharp Shooter with a Tennessee handle, a new bow and stern light set, some 5lb K9 braid to try. Ran into one of the B&M Pro Staff at another booth great folks they are passionate about crappie fishing.
Man! Now I'm really bummed, I was all set to go and couldn't go at the last minute, and I missed my chance to meet DockShootinJack.
I was the one in the blue Crappie.com fleece looking at the boats and crappie gear. I was told by some of the vendors that Thursday was the day to be there. Not crowded at all
Glad you got to go Jack, and thanks for the pics too. You’re probably tired of the cold about now and it was a good chance to get out and rub elbows with other fishin folks.
