Post by: canvsbk on March 02, 2006, 07:47:54 PM
What is it, when is it, where is it - Dan when will you be there?
Need one of those decals....
Surely there must be a Hooters near by.

Yeah - I think there is, but don't remember exactly where. Wayne usually works me pretty hard though.

GR is Thurs 3/16 - 3/19. I'm sure I'll be there most of the days on the weekend. I'll probably be there part of the weekdays - don't have my hours yet from Wayne.

Just a reminder - this is the only show in Michigan that you will have a chance to look over some new BassCat's.  There should be 4-5 of them from Puma's to Sabre's.  Come check them out!

From past experience, i have learned that you never go to Hooters before going somewhere else.  Trust me on this one, you will thank me later.

For us west siders the fishing shows are just warming up over here. This Saturday the Outdoorsman Pro Shop is a little place with a good selection of baits, etc., and they are very knowlegeable about electronics.  They have their sale and vendors in with a variety of seminars. The Outdoorsan is in Jenison which is just off I96 going towards Holland. It's on Baldwin Ave. just like BPS. If anyone is in the area and needs better direction give me a shout. One of our top Tear Drop angles Matt Hoogerhyde and I are planning to go over at around 10:30 tomorrow. If you read our teardropbass.com webpage Matt and his partner Josh have been our Anglers of the Year two years running.  Next up is the Sport and RV show at the DeVos Center and then usually in the next week or so D&R in Kalamazoo has its sale. Hey Lt. Dan since I live a few miles away from DeVos how about bringing my GreatLakesBass.Com decal and I'll get it from you there?

Fine with me. I should be there all weekend and possibly some of the week nights too. I'll be at the Xtreme Bass Tackle/F.I.S.H. booth.
