went to the show yesterday. First time I ever attended...Not a bad show if you have some spare time to walk around. I will say I went with some cash in the pocket to see if anyone was running any convention specials...i didn't see anything to write home about in fact I just ran into some really badly overpriced rods. money stayed in pocket yesterday. For instance got a lamiglass inshore tri-flex rod 7' for about 120 bucks a few weeks ago this outfit was selling that same rod for $220!!! I nearly fell over.
I did stop into some of the seminars and I thought they were pretty good...went to the flyfishing one, coldwater small mouth, blackfishing, and one on backwater fishing for fluke, blue, and stripers. All in all I had an enjoyable experience with each of the talks. But considering I'm relatively new to the fishing world on some of these subjects I think it was geared more towards someone like me...a beginner. If your a veteran fisherman not really sure what your going to get out of most of those talks.
