So what do you all think end of February or sometime in March (whats good for you) at my house (livonia) bring your fishing stuff old or new. Food and Drinks? Pot luck bring a dish to pass around? I've got a couple tables to set up so i might need a couple more.
That sounds like fun.
im down!
McCarter himself :-\'
Ditto
Smiph Himself lol
we hoo 117 views and 4 confermations :-\'

Same here don't know about selling but would like to buy if I am off work sounds like fun.
put up a date so we know when
If the date works out I'd like to come. I know I have some rods I don't use anymore.
I would like to be there and have stuff to sell but it depends on how far I would have to drive? Where is it going to be?
You know ol mojo is down. I have several rods, bunch of tubes, some reels, some whiskey, kids and adults rain gear, a cabelas $25 gift card, Some meth-i-o-lade spinnerbaits, a 12 pack of octoberfest, some BPS t shirts that say funny stuff (large - wont fit half y'all), and some left over raffle tickets from the show. Anyone top that ?
I could be down for that. Just need a date and time.
that's more like it :o
March 3rd
Location: my house 15675 Oporto St Livonia MI 48154 (5mile and Middlebelt)
from 12:00 Noon til the last person leaves
i'll start a batch of chilie at 9:00am
see ya then
bob o
Well, geez, if there's going to be anything "meth-i-o-lade", I guess I have to go.
im in. what do you think Mojo? i think i may be able to top that. lol
frank
I would be interested for sure... always have a lot of stuff...
I will definitely try to make it. I'd like to meet a lot of you for the first time. Reading GLB a lot makes me feel like I know you (in some small way) and so it would be good to actually meet in person.
I have some stuff to sell and / or trade. And I could be a buyer for the right stuff.
Never been to a tackle swap meet, so it would be interesting.
might even be some Alabama Rigs for sale

As long as Alec isn't playing soccer that day I could make it. And since bob o only lives about 2 miles away from me, that's like right in my back yard. I'll put it on the calendar and play it by ear.

i'll start us off with some Two Hearted for sure
Being so close to me also, I will more than likely make it too.
it's sounding more and more like a real party with food and fishing stuff thrown in. ;D
I'll come for the 2 hearted and bring some wings. I should have a few things to sell/trade/etc. I'll have check out what Charlie is selling to see if it is stuff I left on his boat floor.

Hey Bob, Sounds like you might need some tater salad and other side dishes. I'll bring some.... :)
Made some homemade brownies. Bringing those along with some cash and stuff to trade.
edit: had to eat a corner one to make sure they were good...

they don't have any "funnt" stuff in them do they. hahaha, looks like we might need a snow shovel too. it figures we get snow today of all days, i thought winter was almost over
I've got a couple of loaves of great sour dough bread to go with the chili and some sam adams alpine, plus some sure fire baits.
capt charlie
Anyone there yet???? Just got out of work.
Sorry I couldn't make it. I was on the fire truck all night with the winds kicking up. we had our last call around 8am this morning. the first came in around 9 last night. Well who scored the best stuff ?
Man Don - you woulda had a blast - we missed you, Jay and Cheetham. Who scored the best ? prolly anyone who made it out !!! The food was Great - Thanks Ellypsis for the wicked Brownies ;D.
I consider these events the perfect relief from cabin fever. Lots of solid, GOOD people. No Stupid, Weird (A.G. jokers trying to sell their 'company' spinner baits, jigs) products being pitched. Not much money exchanged - but lots of goodies to be had. See the way I approach this is anything in my basement that sits more than 1-2 years has no value. I traded a quantum reel for a glass /graphite 6.6 MH crankin Lews. To me that saved $150 for what woulda spent - and the fish ain't gonna know the difference.
There were G Loomis rods, Two hearted Ale, Shimano Crucials, Sam Adams Oktoberfest and Winter Ales, Grandt Crankin sticks, Newcastle.... I think you are catching on.
Traded something for a lucky craft cranks ? Can you say Wow ! Met a fine fella who sold OUTStanding and exacting painted 2" baby bass /brim/ sunfish rattletraps
For $2bucks each. Traded a youth 6'0 med IM7 for a Rod i needed that seems about perfect to twitch and move my surface baits or jerk baits. Don't need a $ 200 rod for that
?????
I think the best part was to be made welcome in Bobs Os house for a great - and I mean great event !! Thanks for having us.
And if you didn't make out, do NOT miss next years' ;D we think it will be special ...
I had a good time, and thanks to Bob's wife for letting us play in the house. It was nice to meet you all and although i'm terrible with names, i won't forget the face. I'll be better prepared for next years' swap....later
All of you who didn't make it missed a great time...Laporte, McCarter, Cheetam, and UAW Big Dog...you guys missed a good time.
A huge thank you to bob-o and his lovely wife for having us into their home. And, thanks bob for a great deal on the H/B graph.
BTW...thanks MOJO for some great swappin'. I really feel like we made some great trades that should work out well for both of us. You walked away with the two best rods that I brought, and I walked away with a reel that I would have gone out looking for in a month or two as well as a great spinning set up for my kid.
I had a great time!!!
I wish I could have made it. I had my daughter's 6th birthday party today. We ONLY had 18 little girls there. And, it was one of those parties where the parents drop them off, so I was a litle busy :D. I had some really cool stuff to trade too! Mostly beer, but I know the crowd!
thanks to everyone for showing up yesterday, it was a blast, the food was great too homemade brownines, a huge sub platter from jimmiejohns, water melon, hotdogs the chili went too fast i better make a double batch next time.
there are some left items we found a heavy blue hoodie and a cooks goto storage system, if there yours shoot me an PM, call or just stop by next time your in the hood
It was nice seeing some of the guys from the show and meeting some new folk. Had a great time and looking forward to the open in May even more now.
Hey Bob, Sorry I wasnt able to make it. Ended up "dog sitting" for my neighbor. Her husband had to go into emergency for a heart catheterization. I really look forward to next year. :( Thanks for the invite.

no problem, i hope everything worked out for your neighbor.
Bob - I gave you the cooks goto storage system when I left... I think you were too busy telling stories at the time to remember. Thanks for opening up your house to us and kudos to your wife for being a great hostess. Only bought/swapped a few things but I had a good time talking boats and baits!

Had a great time, must do it again. Thanks again Bob for letting us into your house. I wont forget the buns next time. I owe your wife some money.

bun money hahaha i think we can handle the bun funds
great time, enjoyed meeting and putting a face to some of the names I've seen on the site, thanks again to Bob and Karen for hosting.
what some of you missed was discussion to resurrect BASSARAMA for 2013 ! Appears we've found a site big enough thanks to Frank ( believe that was his name, few to many Sam Adams ) anyways, its going to happen and we're gonna need all the McCarters, Toners, Mikes Rx, Cheetam Lures, etc etc to pull it off.

Nice meeting you bro...
yep, my name is Frank, lol
Frank has a fishing problem, don't you Frank?!? ;D
Yep - We got Fishing Issues ...... lol - Theres your next T- Shirt or Bumper Sticker:
I got Fishing Issues
or
My husband has Fishing Issues
I know a million dollar idea when I see one.
In some cases it could say, 'My wife has fishing issues.' Well, actually... it could say that in many cases.
Personally, I like: I have an Angler Management Problem
