My wife and I went to the A/C boat show today with another couple. Arrived at approximately 1030 am and found a parking spot in the lot at the convention center.
Got into the show using our 2 for 1 special deal tickets.
Found a light crowd inside checking out the deals on boats and accessories. Boarded a few boats, some fishing, some pleasure. The fishing boats were nice, some more fishable than others, some trying to split the duties of fishing and pleasure. Still a tough task to pull off.
After checking out the dream machine area we made our way over to the accessories. Saw some good deals on tackle and electronics, neither of which I need at this point. Renewed my membership with RFA, my subscription with "The Fisherman" magazine and "On The Water" magazine. Got some nice freebees for renewing.
I found Captain Carl, Wet Dreams Fishing, at the Canyon Reel booth. Got a first hand look and demo of their new spinning reel. What a beast that thing is. 66 pounds of drag.
Also stopped by and said hi to Chuck and Kelly from Tournament Cable. Chuck wants to set up another day of hands on rigging for us this year at his shop. A good time for him would be in April. We just need to pick a day/evening and set it up. Last year's event was great and Chuck is a fantastic host.
Tomorrow is the last day of the show. Anyone wanting to go, it isn't a bad way to spend a February day.
