I'll be there Thursday only this year. Mike Smith and Veronica are heading up the booth after that. Make sure you stop by and see that Veronica is cracking the whip on Grandpa Mike! ;D

I should have a booth number soon for the GLBass booth. Should be another great show!

I plan on being there multiple days.  I told Dan I'd work his booth, and I've also told Wayne Carpenter I'd be available to work in the Fishing Information Services/Xtreme Bass tackle booth. 

But then I also have to schedule time for me to enjoy the show as well.

Dan's only going to be there Friday
He's a great guy. The part that still amazes me is
He knows all the fishermen. Young or Old
Bass, Walleye or Musky some how he knows them

Title: Re: Novi Show
Post by: djkimmel on December 24, 2011, 09:42:13 PM
BUT... he won't know them on Friday because he'll be flying to Miami on Friday. He will however know some of them on Thursday!! (No close ties to Jimmy however... though he has stolen quite a few of my lines!!! ;D )

OK.  I'm coming over with another super secret GLB'er and he is going to some seminar during the day (unless he gets called home 15 minutes after he gets there like last year) that I don't plan to, so I thought I might hang out for a bit.

Post by: bsimpson on January 05, 2012, 08:23:39 PM
That must be one dedicated guy to drive 2 1/2 hours to a show only to get called into work 15 minutes after getting there and have to turn around and go home!!!

Title: Re: Novi Show
Post by: Jay-MadWags on January 06, 2012, 10:35:58 AM
I will be there.  I don't know what day yet.  Probably Saturday.  10 month old twin girls are a lot of work.  I hope I get more time to fish this season. . . 
Title: Re: Novi Show
Post by: djkimmel on January 06, 2012, 04:52:25 PM

Don't count on it Jay.  When my triplets were born I didn't fish much for quite a few years.  Seems there's always something more important to do.  Maybe not in your mind, but the wife and the kids have different ideas as to how Dad should spend his time.

And that's OK.

Do any of you know if there is parking room for motor homes at the show?
Thanks

Not sure, but I do know trailers are not allowed in the parking lot during the show.

Post by: t-bone on January 09, 2012, 06:04:04 PM
I would call them to confirm but I doubt there is parking for RV's but you never know until you ask.
ph :: 248-348-5600

I saw that the Holiday Inn nearby has a shuttle to and from the event.

My God, if truer word have been spoken, I'm not sure where. Fiker - you move me  :'(   lol !

Serious - that defines why I just spent $25,000 on a pontoon (115 HP mind you) and not a bass boat, with no , tiny , some regret ....  ;D    ;D

WOW triplets!  I guess you had even less time that I do now.  I understand what you and Mojo are saying. . .  But I have to get back out there fishing else I will go CRAZY!  I only fished 2 tournaments last year.  It was tough with the twins and losing my best friend, fishing partner Dave "MadWags" Wagensomer.  I told myself I would be on the water more this season.  We will see. . .

We'll get you out on St. Clair in early May anyway!
Title: Re: Novi Show
Post by: fiker on January 11, 2012, 09:25:28 AM
Yeah I'll tell you what Jay.  You PM me when you need to get out we'll go.  I understand completely.  We can even commiserate together while we fish.  A guys got to get away to recharge his batteries.  Just remember, so does your wife.

The first year the kids were here I used to shoot in an archery league on Thursday nights.  It was only for an hour or two but I looked forward to it every week.  For two hours I could actually relax and not think/worry about anything except hitting the bulls eye. 
Doing the weekly grocery shopping was a field trip. 

I had to do things like that to keep my sanity.  (I know some would argue that it didn't work and I've never recovered). 

So when you need to give me a call.  We'll go out and smack smallies on Clair, or pitch jigs on Kent.  Something.   Anything.  Just to get out.
