Grizzly Jig's amazing show opens Thursday morning thru Sunday afternoon. If you have never been there, you are missing a great experience. I don't have seminar schedule handy so maybe somebody can post it. I'll be there working with the guys from ACC Crappie Stix. Love to meet any of you members or lurkers.
We are expecting some icy conditions for a couple of days but things should clear up and warm up by Wednesday afternoon.
Hopefully one day I can go.
I’d love to go one day, but we’ll be down in your neck of the woods, chasing bunnies this weekend.

If you like crappie fishing, it's defiantly the place to go to I'll be there Friday morning.
It’s at 1503 Truman Boulevard, in Caruthersville, Missouri.
Planning on Friday morning. Hope to meet some members!
Wish I could be there, but I'll be there in spirit. Here's the deal, while you are at the show, take a selfie with any of the speakers mentioned above, post it to this thread, and I'll send you a free Crappie.com hat.
See, I will actually be there in spirit. Should be a great show. Wear your crappie.com gear and "represent".Disclaimer: subject to change without notice.
I’m hoping to make it Friday morning if the roads are clear. Been looking forward to the show for a while and now we have all this sleet and ice.

I've been watching weather conditions and reports all day so I can help my buddies from the south. It looks like by mid-day on Thursday all this crap will be gone. Most of the ice on main and secondary roads is melting today. Hoping it won't refreeze or the ice from TX won't get this far north.
Wife and I will be there Saturday Morning!
It's on my bucket list! Maybe when I retire in a few years!

Whitey is a real fisherman, truly one of us. Super passionate about the sport. Plus a patriotic family man.

After being on my feet from before they opened until late afternoon all 4 days, I’m spent. I made the decision to drive the hour and forty minutes back and forth each day. I prefer my bed to any hotel bed.
The Grizzly Jig show is different than most shows I’ve worked. All the merchandise there is owned by the store and companies are just there to represent their brands and to meet those who use their products. I talked to hundreds of folks, many of them Crappie.com members.
I am blessed with many great sponsors and was there to help 3:
Cornfield Fishing Gear
ACC Crappie Stix
Crappie Monster
The willingness of those at the top of the crappie community to take time to stop for photos, talk to customers, and spend time with those who might represent a competitor, makes crappie fishermen unique in my experience. I got to talk to so many great tournament pros who have influenced me, both old and new.
To the Crappie.com members who introduced themselves during our conversations, it was great meeting you or seeing you again.
Back to the reel world.

That's a lot of standing, I could not do it. Good for you Doug, sounds like a great show. Maybe I go for a day or so, but four days too long for this guy's bad back.
