This year it's been pushed back a week because of the Outdoorama the week before. Saturday March 8th 2014, 12 noon samr place in Livonia. man time files. so far same as the years before, but this year bring anything you want to swap, sell or give away. There is also a plan to have a silent auction to help out a family in need of a little help see the link http://breanna.brandirawks.com/. so if you have any new things to donate for the auction it would be a big help. this is the first year for this auction so lets see what happens.
Back the the swap meet i make a batch of chile every year and as always it will be a bigger batch this year this is not wimpy nor is it so hot you can't eat it, you are invited to bring a plate to pass if you want, chips, cookies, more meat for the grill etc you get the idea. i start this out with a case of beer (the non lite kind) the rest is up to you.
so bring a fist full of 20's or just kick back and BS about last year or this comming spring
see ya at the ramp
if i forgot anything i'm sure i'll hear about it
bob o
new around here so if you do not mind my asking where in LivoniaI might make the trip up there for it.
Thanks

aww man that sucks, but it's been posted on two fourms and an facebook envite has been sent to 43 people, hoping only half show up hahahah. the westsiders have a swap meet also better check the dates for that one.
It was worth a try lol.
Bob,
Your so close. (less then 5 miles) So I'm hoping to make it this year
Started going thru the gear this past weekend. The past couple years I've been taking the un whated stuff to work and giving it away.
But i'll start a pile
It's the slot cars man - no one can beat me n Lightning McQueen !!!
I'm working on some Magic Hat Encore Bob.... And just 1-2 rod eyes lol... plus I'll work on getting some Kustom Kicker swag for the silent auction.....
I cannot wait! I was beginning to wonder if you were gonna make it happen this year. Wouldn't miss it for nothing.
I'll be there. It's always a good way to start the season.
Mojo - So how does one break so many rod guides in a year anyway?
Bigjc - oh yea, and this year it look like it's going to be bigger too. i might need a tent soon
Mark - Thanks, hopfully spring will be a fishy one.
Frank - are you the one breaking all of mojo's stuff?
I'll be there again. Probably bring something good to eat that compliments the chili. Will try to remember to bring more cash in 2014.
I break to much i
of my own stuff to worry about his
Thanks Bob (and mrs. bob) for giving us a place to hang out and talk fishin. A lot of fun and you might find something you need. I'll scrounge around to find a lure that needs identifying again...

God Bless thats funny !! Actually Bob I believe these are the same two we tried last year, I dont think I did it right last year .....
Think I might bring an Ugly Stik for Mojo this year so he can have one rod he can't break.
Im going to pretend i didnt see this post and only attend the one I saw on facebook. See you all at Midnight
I think only Jack would be happy to see you at that hour.
I was the last to leave the party ........ The last 2 years.. :P

Stop bringing baits you don't want to share. I'm not really comfortable calling you a tease, but darn Mike..
I'll be there Bob, I'm going to make up a dropshot package for the auction. No fire classes at all this winter yee haa !!!!
By the way bob o, how did that line thru the blank Diawa rod you got from me perform for you? After a full season is it thumbs up or thumbs down? So, So bummed I can't make it.
well i didn't have a full season, and i never did get out to the lake but this spring i'm sure a LSC smallie will bend it a few times. it will be put to use for spinnerbait fishing

I need you to work on getting a boat first... Then I will help you set it up. :-* ;)
I am bringing along 2 new guys with nothing to swap, but fists full of dollars to start their 'collection' - are they welcome? They need rods, reels, lures, you get it.
That's up to Bob, But I always welcome newbie fisherman. Happy to see this sport spread and grow. ;)
Bob,
If you have to go to a tent, that would mean outdoors, in which case we would need to move the date to March.
Mojo, the more the merrier.
bigjc, it is in March. but i'm sure we can hold off on the tent idea for now.
Rick and Mike, rick might be just buying parts so maybe one day he can build his own boat a RangCatSkeetChampEeternater X2000 ;D
In that case, I have many props for sale. :P But he better build a BulletAllisonStroker because all I have is high pitch props for the faster hulls. ;D
Bob, what did you wind up doing about the repairs on your boat?
Quote from: huston on December 18, 2013, 09:23:55 AM
Bob, what did you wind up doing about the repairs on your boat?
Repowered with a new 2013 Mercury proxs200. either the old carb motors are not 200hp or the new one got a whole lot more than 200hp b/c my boat gained 10-11 mph so far :o

Nope... Your old 200 was about a 120... :'( I knew that when you tested a bunch of my props and couldn't turn them.

You going to mandate this ?
Mojo drives a hard bargain!

2 reels that I think I'm going sell, 2 rods
A few cranks and some plastic. I'm still working my way threw it all

I don't have any way to mandate what you and Frank do in a truck..? I would suggest you keep it legal just as friendly advice... maybe follow all international trade agreements?!? but a video might be fun for people...
Just throwing this out there: I know we are all bass guys, but I am in the market for a new Muskie rod, if anyone has one for swapping or selling purposes.
I have a Fenwick 7ft 6in Telescopic HMX-T... 1/4-1 1/4 lure weight, 10-25lb line rating, MH Fast tip that might work for you... This was going to be a frog rod for me, But I don't think I used it but a couple times. Frog fishing just hasn't been what I have done in the last year or so. I bought this rod new last winter and is still in the same condition.
It may not be heavy enough for your needs.. I don't musky fish and not sure what your looking for...
I am actually looking for an 8 footer heavy or extra heavy. I have several flippin sticks, but thanks
Sounds more like your looking for a big tree limb.. LOL... Dan prolly has some for you to pick from.. :o
Sure do! I don't think the city will be by anytime real soon to grind them up! We're going out in a few minutes to tackle the big pile! I could cut a few 8 footers that look promising...?
A graphite stick might weigh a bit less, but thanks for the offer.
Would weigh a lot less. Especially now that all the wood is buried deep under the snow...
I think I would leave them there until spring.... Make a pile and burn. ;D The snow here is just like how Michigan used to be when I was a kid.. ::) Dang global warming. :P (http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Cold1.gif)
Wonder if anyone would be willing to swap a few back deck rides for something? Bottles of jack? Crown royal? Bombay? A custom built rod holder?
Just wondering....
I need to break down and buy a darn boat!
you can fish with me anytime you want
This year there will also be a silent auction to help out a family in need of our help. Please see the link http://breanna.brandirawks.com/. I'm asking for any donations for the auction. So if you pour plastics or lead, paint baits, or have new or vintage baits or anything you wish to donate please get in contact with me so we can get a table ready early that way everyone gets a good look at what's for auction. We may also be able to "package" items in small tackle boxes before the auction starts, it's much nicer to get a weight kit instead of a plastic bag full of weights or jigs etc.
What is a Silent Auction? This link should help out.

believe it or not, I think I got your rod... Okuma ... 7'6 ... I'll bring it
Mojo - I'll bring that Crankbait rod you were interested in and we never met up this summer.
I've got a bunch more rods to bring as well.
Nicccccccceeee!
I have a bunch of husky jerks
we just got a big box of Baits for the Big Bass 4 Breanna yesterday in the mail. With no returs address and no note we have no idea who sent this box, but to the auction block it will go. to find out what's in the box you will just have to come on over and find out for yourself.
Thank you, mystery fisherperson
So now it looks like I will miss this due to a conflict. I'll still try to get some of my stuff over with Capt Charlie.
I would like to attend this year. My father is a retired charter Capt. He had to sell his boat last year and I have a lot of walleye, muskey and perch tackle. That we have collected over the past 40 years. What time should I arive?

About a month to go. Anyone bringing some 7' spinning rods? Maybe I can work out a pre-trade trade...
Would that be 'insider trading?'

Covered.... I'm actually gonnatry to swap / sell enough to get a Grandt paraya.... : ) wow nice rod...
Thought I'd ask
I'm a little over stocked on 10# Fluoro
Seeing how I just picked up a 1000 yd bulk spool
Would anyone be interested in 200 yds of Sunline Sniper for 20 bucks or 200 yds of Invizx for 15
It's 5 bucks off a box. All fresh this year
Bumping this to the top because I've got a couple Shimano Crucials with the old cork handles that I need to get rid of in trade for a couple new rods. Or cash. Or whatever. More people, more stuff!
I have Mr Franklin and Mr Grant that want to come along and go home with someone.
That is if I survive a medical test in the morning.
YEEEEEEEP

ALRIGHT !!!!!! Who's heeled up about this weekend !!!! ????
Anyone bringing an FNG ? Cmon, bring someone new to the sport !!
I'm an FNG and had planned to be there. I have a box on the bar with about 15 unopened lures of various types (Strike King Pro Model cranks, big muskie size Xwalks, XRaps, and DT Thugs) and multiple bags of plastics that I had intended to bring.
Instead I may be laying a floor in the basement of my daughter's house under direct supervision of her mother.
How late does this event typically run? I may be able to wrap up by 2 or 3.
Last time, by the time I went home it was dark. It's a good time. Bob and his wife are great hosts. Fishermen can shoot the breeze FOREVER.
I won't be able to make it, but I have a lowrance hds 5 for sale that came with my new boat.
Looks like I missed it. 4 hours of testing this morning. Getting old is no fun. See ya when the ice melts...
Was great to meet you guys today. Hope to fish with you this year.
to Mr and Mrs Bob O... Thank you for opening your house to us as graciously and kindly as you did for us.... You are a gift to our community...
Ok maybe some of you out there don't plan well, or you're not seeing value here. Maybe for just as well ...more for us ;D.. Here what you guys coulda got in on..... Hundreds of soft plastics, all trading around a $1 a bag, ISKI, $6-15 crank baits for $2 -4 bucks, props reconditioned $50-150. USKI, Fish finders $50. Rods reels $10-40 bucks, frog rods $20, WeSKI!!! Every kind of new and old baits, good reels too!
Personally, this is a better event than the UFS because of the comrodre and good people. Soooooo. If I remember right, I brought 2 boxes of stuff I didn't need, traded nearly ALL of it. Gave it away. Came home money neutral (cant count the $20 in auction donations) and a hell of a hang over ( too much cola).
That was fun fun fun. Gotta put the hair back up and get back to it.... See you next year, and you better be there. Yes you. You reading this, no excuses. Unless you aren't into people, stories, drinks, food, fun, more stories, (drinks?) some Swappin.
Mojo: Glad you got home ok. Thanks for the wiskey. Good to see ya.
I was the last to leave once again... :P I had a great time, didn't want to leave. :P
Still really bummed I missed it this year, but i had fun on vacation.
Thanks again to bob & mrs. O. for letting us hang out. With this winter as depressing as it was, I think we all needed Saturday to keep our saneness. I got a reel,shirt,(thanks bob) and a bill dance bobblehead (thanks mojo). I forgot to ask why Frank wasn't there. Some new faces (for me) and lots of stuff to chose from. It was good to see you all....mark

I had a blast. Always good to see everyone. Thanks to Bob and Mrs. O for hosting.
It was my first time at the swap meet
Had a blast, met a few more GLB members and I did get rid a few things and picked up a few
It was nice to talk fishing with people that understand what your talking about.
Bob and his Wife are the perfect hosts
Thanx agian for having me
it was a great time, looking forward to fishing this year with you guys and next years swap meet same place. maybe more people, any way we had enough food and drink for everyone not to leave out the fishing stuff, lots of fishing stuff
