Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | Hi folks!
Just wanted to let you all know about Mosquito Hill Nature Center's Annual Musky Magic Show, Happening March 20th, 11am-5pm. Featured Speakers are Tony Grant and Steve Herbeck, as well as a bunch of "basement bait" makers, with pool demos!
Here is a link to the show:

It's always been a great show. Proceeds of the admission go towards the Nature Center. I believe it is in it's 17th year.

Location: Greenfield, WI | It looks as if the Slammer Booth will be at the show this year. It is a nice little show which has pretty high level speakers each year. The poolside demo is a two edged sword for many of the "home grown" lure makers. It can show how great a bait works, or how bad it can look!

Location: Menasha, WI | It's hard to say how many people were there, but there was a few more than in past years. The speakers were just o.k. |

Location: north central wisconsin | Nice show. Croud was medim sized I'd say but just right judging by the full bleachers and only a few people standing during the seminars as I peaked in. Some neat custom lures at the show!! Rogers new h20 colors were awesome, and i loved the two sided combo he did for me! Rubberhairy gliders had an awesome purple chartreause pattern that seemed to be quite popular too. I think it was musky nightmare that had the squirely jerk/glide bait and I really liked the action of it. Had the action of a good 6" Reef Hawg, but with a squirrely tail to boot. Never did see the booth he had, as it must have been too close to the food. |

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | sorry, my baits do not have rubber tails on them. During the pool demos, I was over near the tubes (water slides?). I'm sorry you missed the action of my new crank, because they sold really well! |

Location: north central wisconsin | Oops!!! Wish I knew who the guy was testing out the squirrely something or other. It looked like it was Squirko in size(maybe a hair longer) and was shaped similar to an undertaker. The guy said he only had one left while he was testing them. Sorry about the mistake. |

Location: Wausau/Phillips WI | The guy with the Squirelly something must have been Doug Kloet from Musky Magic Tackle. The lure was called a Slippery Slider. Looked great in the pool didn't they, so I ordered two from him. Also based on the pool demo I grabbed one of Musky Safari's Mr. Automatic Gliders. I hope there lures look as good to the fish as they did to me in the pool.
Picked up some other stuff for my sons birthday. From Smitty a glider a Topper and Snodlo type, from Shumway a Marabou Flasher, two of KDC's fast blade bucktails, and two of Musky Safari's bucktails, and some of Dukes Snap leaders and tail pins.
And of course I always get something from Roger at H2O. This year it's the Recon. A little differant walk the dog action to fool all those conditioned fish on my home lake.
