Last year we had a great turnout of 10-12 people all having a great time some of even bought and sold stuff, some just had a great time talking about fishing, and telling fishing stories. so come on over and have a good time

I'm in. Ok if people bring additional food and beer?
I'll keep an eye on this. I definitely have more fishing tackle - mostly lures - laying around than I will ever be able to use up.
The more beer the better, any date better than the other?
I'm coming. I have several H-birds cheep. Maybe find some more stuff
I'm in either date. I've got some rods and reels that I'm willing to trade or sell.
Sounds good Bob ... Im in either date ....

Jingle bells, Gulp! Goby smells,
No crank bait deal gets missed today ...

A cool rod for the one I dont use anywayyyyy.

What he said. It's great putting faces to screen names. Can't get a better host either.
This year I don't have to leave early and I an drink beer too. Count me in for a case of blue light, and whatever Mojo says we're bringing too.
Frank
Just a reminder guys, this happens this Saturday.
I wish I lived closer. I really like this concept. Someone should start one of these on the West Side! Have fun this weekend! :P
We should also bring some baits not for sale or trade but for show only. I have a few baits that i think are interesting. (read old) Bob - please let us know if you need anything else...

Snow or no snow, I will be there with a couple of pizzas.

I'm thinking I'll be there between 1:30 and 2. I'm going to blow out some Avids, maybe some cranks, and a bunch of soft plastics. Can't wait to see everyone again.

the two hearted will be waiting, unless i'm up late tonite :o
I will have two new Save Phace shields if the roads are decent.
Bringing chocolate chip cookies. No brownies from me this year :(
Ypsi, if they're homemade, we'll still let you come.
Of course they're homemade. Who do you take me for??
I hope to make it to the swap and will bring some of the Megabass items

Ah forget day olds. I'll just make sure the cookies are extra chewy for the old man.
I was a little nervous for a minute. My road was not plowed up until 10 minutes ago. I will be there.
Looks like I get to work tomorrow so no swap meet for me. Probably just as well since I just got a new HB 998SI. That thing is cool. Only 3 months till I can play with it.
Have fun...
WOW...I have not been on in a week or more, and I almost missed this post :o
I am looking forward to joining you all again. Had a great time last year.
Guess I had better head out to the garage and put a pile together.
Didn't the weather suck last year also??? ;D
You can play with it now if you can find a way to hook it up to 12 volts, Join the HB website so as to get updates. A new one just came out a few days ago. It has to be downloaded to an SD card and uploaded to the unit.
You can buy the cable from Humminbird for about $25-30. Too expensive for me.
I found a computer hook up for an earlier model humminbird at Gander Mountain. The power cable is the same. You can then just hook that up to a 12volt battery. It can even be a garden tractor battery. I think I paid about $10 for this entire kit.
Unfortunately one used to be able to hook units up to the computer and download directly. My 898 doesn't do it but I have a friend who can with his. Funny. Humminbird says that the unit is not supported, but his works just fine.
Once you have all of your way points stored on the computer, you can see where they are on google maps.
Kinda cool.
I'm thinking about trying to hook mine up with a portable battery booster that has a 12volt,usb, cig lighter plug in on it. You say I can get the power cable from Gander Montain?
Andddddddd back to the swap meet - for a moment. Bringing a large full set of gander rain gear as trade bait for something cool.
Oh. Kustom Kicker gave me a bunch of baits to give away as prizes sooooooo:
We'll have prize packs for:
* Trader Joe - person who does most exchanges
* High Roller - highest value exchange - both persons
* First trade - both persons
* Ratatouii- best dish
* Brewmaster- best beer
I look forward to seeing everyone there !

Thanks again Bob, even better than last year. I ended up with a lot more stuff than I thought I had. Thanks to Mike? for just giving me some plastics he did not want to bring home. He also sold me a custom spinnerbait he makes and I know did not want to sell but did anyway. Can't wait till next year. See everyone at the Madwags memorial in May. Almost forgot thanks to Mikes RX baits for showing up with a ton of Megabass to show people who were interested.

Come to think of it, pertaining to the GLB and DK Open gang, Rick couldn't have said it better.
Thanks again to Bob & mrs. O for hosting( again.) I too had a blast just listening to the bass talk. No better way to break - up the winter blues. My only disappointment was that nobody knew the crankbait i brought. Mojo's (and now our) friend Frank took a picture of it, but i didn't hear anything before i left. I wish i could've stayed longer....
I have been looking for it on the net but no luck yet. If you post a pict on here, someone might have an idea.
I would if i could. I'm technically challenged....i still use triangulation!
my friend doesn't know what it is.
Thanks Frank. later....
