2006 Ultimate Fishing Show

[Skulley]

I am definitely going to attend at least two of the four days.  More than likely.....Friday and Sunday.   

[MadWags]

I'll be in the Grandt Rods booth all four days. Come by and say hi!
I'll try and sell you a lifetime warranty rod and even put your name on it.
LOL!

[djkimmel]

Looks like I'll be there Thursday and Sunday. Not sure about Saturday (Sunday is my anniversary, but I'll sell her on Saturday evening being a better night to go out... )

[Bronzeback5LBER]

It sounds like a good time,but I have to work all weekend,hopefully I can get motivated to go after a long day.If I do go I will definetly look forward to stopping by your booth's.

[WayneC]

I went in on Tuesday and got the Xtreme Bass Tackle booth set up.  Boy, this is one big building and it looks like they filled it up with stuff for us.

I've got some new baits in.  These three baits now come in Green Pumpkin with chartreuse and purple flake:

5" Tube
4" Skirted twin tail
4" X-worm

Don't forget the booth will be manned by the Combat Fishing pro-staff who will be willing to talk about fishing specifics.  Most noteably, Dan K. will also be there two days also.

If you wan't to catch a No Secrets Seminar, the only day will be on Thursday at 4:30pm.

Last year the show rocked at Novi Expo...this year it looks to be even bigger and better.

See you there!
Wayne

Thanks for the info Wayne, I will have to check out the new product, sounds like a good color combo!

[djkimmel]

OMIGOSH!!! MY FAVORITE COLOR!!!!!!

Color #1 on my must have tubes for Lake St. Clair, but I throw that color just about everywhere! Wayne told everyone but me up until a couple days ago. I think he was afraid I'd 'requisition' the entire shipment.

I CAN'T WAIT. SMALLIES LOOK OUT!!!!!

[blakstr1]

well i should probably be working but just gotta say i'm really looking forward to the show this year...i desperately need to get my fix on all the new stuff!  heading down Friday...see ya'll thur..

[Eric]

I will be taking tomorrow off and going to the show.  I figure to be there most all day/night.

[Cheetam]

I will be taking tomorrow off and going to the show.? I figure to be there most all day/night.

It's alive!  What's up Eric?  Where have you been hiding (I'm guessing in a tree stand somewhere?)...

[blakstr1]

Does anybody know what the final count for attendance at this years' shiow was?  Curious to see how many more people came out to the new facility.

[Eric]

It was good seeing you again Jeff.  Too bad we got stood up by Mr. YouKnowWho.  Who in their right mind would choose playing cards over spending time with fellas like you and me?
