smerchly Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ha ha ...thanks for that NRF ! My head just doubled in size ! ....need to show my wife this lol ! Being retired now for 25 years , I have more time than most to sit and flatten my a$$ on the www . I'm sure many are tired of hearing from me ....but I hope to keep members from clicking on board to keep the dust away .....I have been fishing for over 65 years so I have lots of experience ....but that doesn't mean I know it all . I haven't got into modern day fishing using the latest technology . I'm still a basic hook/line/sinker guy with some lure casts & drifting tossed in the mix. Been carping for a few years ....very enjoyable when they are biting . I also answer all pms/emails the best I can to any members here . Thanks Bubs .... tight lines to you ! I hope to see y'all at the show tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1w Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 ...long day at the Leisureplex in Fort Erie, setting up for the show. Ugliboys were here and gone. Almost time to leave. I'll be here for 5am. I don't think I like 5am. Hope some of the members can make it. There's great deals if you want to buy gear for your kids. See ya tomorrow, Cliff!...

There were many very talented people at the show . The lady with the wood carvings & bird houses , does extraordinary work . The crappie fish blew me away .....every scale was carved in by hand ! From Cliffs 13' rods to Anna's fine work with signs & clothing decals , there was so much to choose from . Always nice to talk with the MNR crew , the home made tackle guys & gals , the gun sellers, and watching the kids learning to cast a line . Good Show !

w1w Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Smerchly, your comments are so relevant. It's not just about selling space. I attempt to find vendors/exhibitors with the hunting/fishing theme that will interest people. Retail drives these shows (in my opinion) and the products that the vendors offered were diverse. That coupled with wildlife agencies/organizations and accommodation plus Casting Kids creates good content. Thanks for recognizing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
