Location: Alsip, Il | I can't believe I stayed near my $100.00 budget for the show this week in Chicago. Let's see if I can be two for two with Milwaukee show. Al |

| Spent less than $100, but could have spent $1,000+!!! Its good to see that the musky fishing economy is alive and well. |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | $10 on beef jerky, $3 on sodas.
Made $120 at the swap meet
Ate/drank $60
Lost $20 playing pool.
So I ended up in the positive, and minus about 20 lures and 2 reels I never used.
Didnt buy anything....dont need anything.....could have bought a lot though! |

Location: DES MOINES, IOWA | For those capable of restraint, congradulations, however, I have no will power.Consequently, I have a self/ban from these shows, since my last "try to corner the market" escapade at Blaine 4 years ago.When you are single, you don,t have that check at home who is going to say "YOU SPENT HOW MUCH ON MUSKY LURES"? However, I do like the swap meet idea where I could dump all of the crap I didn,t use from the last show to buy new stuff at the current show. |
