Who's going to D&R for their Spring Fling? Zona, KVD, JVD, Ish, Palaniuk, and Swindle are going to be there giving seminars. I am going on the 18th which I believe is Good Friday. Here is a link to seminar info http://www.dandrsports.com/Weekend_Events.html#.U0abl9x-_nY
I live there that week end, get there as the doors open and leave at 5 or so both days
I've never been there before. How far from detroit area is it? Also, how big is the place. The way it sounds it must be pretty big. I always thought it was just a smaller tackle store.
I'll be there...... with a booth!!!!
It has everything you need. Good sized shop and they carry "The" stuff you need and probably more. Couple hours from Dtroit. I would bet if you came for the day you would not be disappointed. I only wish Paliniuk was going to be there on Friday. Can't make it Saturday.

from down town to down town it is about two hours, just get on 94 west to 131 north get off at the Westmain exit and head west again. It is not a Bass Pro in size but it is not just a tackle shop it is more like a cross between. They have people travel 100's of mile each year to be there. So it is worth the drive!
Maybe like a jay's sporting goods? I'm gonna put it on my to do list this summer.a
Alec has a soccer game in Kalamazoo on Saturday the 19th so I'm definitely planning on stopping by. Haven't been to the spring fling in quite a few years.
BD. ;D
Have been in the past and wish I was around but still snowmobiling as we are getting more snow ...I remember one year they had a Cajun food stand that was off the hook.
Did you say "Randy's Little Brother" was going to be around....Had to say it sorry.
Headin out to D&R see ya today or tomorrow.

I didn't see you DJ, I was looking for you! I hope you will be there today again come say hello!
I did meet a lot of cool dudes yesterday, Thanks for all the support! Hope to see everyone else today!
Heading to Kzoo this morning for a 2:30pm soccer game at the Soccer Complex not too far away from D and R. Still planning on stopping. Look for the 13 year old soccer players and you'll more than likely find me not to far away. As I said previously, it's been quite a few years since I've been to the Spring Fling. Looking forward to it.
BD ;D
Brandon Palaniuk speaks at 3:00 pm. KVD at 2:00 pm. I plan to be there again around 1:30 pm.
Can't be there today. We had to leave before Swindle got there and we miss out on Palaniuk today. I would like to see him do a seminar. Maybe next time.
Was nice to see so many friends and members, and of course Z, KVD, Randy VanDam and everyone else there!
Won a raffle Megasbass had and got a bag worth $150 worth of megabass baits and none of them were left over inventory. Some very nice baits that I was already considering buying. The megabass flap slap in the sexy shad color is what Evers used at the Classic. One more day of consistent weather and the bait, which already is very difficult to find, may have won him the Classic. I now have one! Thank you Megabass. Brandon did a very good seminar on the square bill using the Arashi. Brandon, as did KVD, gave out some free shirts.
You are one lucky guy!

not really just been doing it for many years and it is a great fishing fix till I can hit the bass. Use to be where I went to find members for the club but we have grown to the point they fund me now.
Dan no the cot is not for me I never stay the night I live to close! It was nice talking to you again and the guys out front did great with the petitions. We guess they got a couple more hundred both days.
That's good news!! (the petition, not the cot... ;D)
Almost have the D&R weekend blog up on the teardropbass.com site. Older I get the more I procrastinate, but in my defense I did work three full days at Cabelas this week. I really enjoy though going down for the D&R weekend!
