It's that time of year again, SWAP MEET time, same place, different date. This year we have moved our date back one week to Saturday, MARCH 10th 2018 from noon till midnight, another change in the format is the silent auction. This year 100% of the proceeds will go to MCBC the Michigan College Bass Circuit https://www.michigancollegebassfishing.com. I hope to have a few college team members present for a meet and greet. The auction rules are the same, bring anything you would like to donate and it will be auctioned off by people placing bids on the bidding sheet in front of each item. At 3:30, we will end the bidding and announce the winning bidder for each item. As a lot of you know, this is also a pot luck type of event, I'll make a couple batched of chili and chips etc. to get the lunch going other guests usually bring a few pizzas, buckets of chicken you name it and it will most likely be on the table. We will also have cold homebrew and soft drinks but feel free to bring your own refreshments. So bring stuff to trade, sell or donate or just come on over to talk fishing with a bunch of my/our good friends, leave last year behind and start next year off on a good note. Please leave any and all grudges at the front door.
Now for the makers or sponsors of fishing equipment that would like to donate items for the silent auction but can't make the date March 10th you can find me on http://www.greatlakesbass.com or http://www.bbcboards.net/forumdisplay.php?f=64 , https://www.facebook.com/bob.osen.9 or email me, bkosen@mi.rr.com or call 734.788.0155.

Sure.... Blame it on Dan. :o
Thanks for moving it a week. My wife makes me go to Florida for 2 months. Luckily she has to be home for a show that that weekend. I will bring some Canned Sunshine for the swap table.
the MCBC will be at both the Novi and Grand Rapids show so the 10th works out great.
I might be able to make it this year!! We'll see as the time grows closer...
This is almost here. I did send a message to Mike from Mikes RX Baits (now retired). Hopefully, my message didn't go in to his spam folder.
yep, getting the menu set up, so far we have lots of chili, including chili dogs and chili tacos, fried chicken, etc
Quite the spread! And no 'cover' charge?!?

and free parking too
I'll bring some big blade baits in gold and silver, Lots of custom swimbait heads from 1/4oz to 1.5oz.
Do you take Bass Pro gift cards? ;D (actually, I already spent them - mostly on Tungsten sinkers and a few crankbaits and hooks to replace some of last year's pike losses)
Maybe some stupid tube heads?

there will be 4 bags of stupid tube jig heads on the auction table
Made it home from Fla. Saturday may be the first time I go outside to come there. 3 days ago I was watching bass protect beds. Today I am staring at an Ice Covered Lake. This Michigan weather zuks.

welcome home
Every year Mike (21xdc) brings some sort of leadheads for the auction table. If you have some lead you won't be using, bring it along...i'm sure he would appreciate it.

I'd like to see 5 bags of 20 Bob... 5 each of 4 sizes in each bag
dartag, just think how much more you appreciate spring when it gets here after having to wait through a winter! I think our Michigan weather makes for more appreciation in general of the great days that we have to endure the not-great days!!
No bellyachin' dartag...we spent the last 2 months here, watching bass on the computer.

Thanks again to Bob and Karen for hosting another great time at the lure swap. It was good to see everyone again. Will see some of you at Magwags, and to the rest of you- have a fun and safe new fishing year...
I bet everyone had fun! Sounded like it was lively over the phone when I called Mikesmiph to tell him that I did NOT want to come over and share whatever I caught at Outdoorama. One of these years I'll make it!
another great time was had by all, we even made $507 for the MCBC Michigan College Bass Circuit i know its not much but i'm sure the money will be well received.
College kids like money... (that's a LOT of Ramen noodles!!! ;D )
Bob thanks for hosting(and your wife). It was my 1st meet and enjoyed meeting some of the guys from the forum.
