Location: WI | I forgot to look at the Pro Dawgs. I forgot to look at the McNair replica too.
I did buy a bunch of baits, a couple dvds, a shirt, and one of Hulberts bump boards. Good show but I liked the old place better, especially the parking lot!!! |

| I also bought a few baits, new pro dawg, cowgirl and a few bucktails from musky buster. I agree parking was very tough. Still had a blast, now June 6th cant come soon enough!

| Everything was really congested and the parking lot only had a limited # of spots. We parked 3 blocks away on a side street. Watched a fender bender happen as we were trying to find a spot.

| I also watched a fender bender, hope it was the same one!!, but the show itself was great. Only had to park about 2 blocks away. I would imagine the parking is really bad today. |

Location: New Richmond, WI | Borrow the wifes or kids car or mini-van, don't take a full size truck, it will take a while to find a spot to park and it will be harder to get out. I found out the hard way. No problem with the building, just got to get used to where everyone is now. |

Location: Duluth, MN | Had a great time at the show. Bought a Jimmy, HeliDawg, some DCG's even though i didn't need them...can't resist when you see a huge wall of them and there are colors you don't have  New Raddog and picked up my KT Pro Edge custom rod!!
BUT...the parking was TERRIBLE!!! Great venue but being in a busy residential area it's just not accessible. Parked over 2 blocks away and i was there at 10:45...i'm sure some people were further away than that by midday.
And the McNair replica is AWESOME!!! |

Location: Land of the Musky | Ya, the parking was bad. I think most of the lot parking was taken by the guys with the booths who go there before 10am. Full show today though! If you go you have to stop by the Shack Attack booth. Andy really outdid himself with some real nice custom colors! Heck I have over 20,000 swimbaits in my storage and I even had to pick up a few from him  Here is a nice 12oz I got from him today.

Location: Land of the Musky | Ya, I can't wait to use it on a trophy pike lake in Canada this year that has white fish up the wazzzzo!! My buddy got a 48" last year on one of my cisco 5oz SuperDs. I think Andy's 12oz-er will get that big 50"+ mama pike a-bitin! |

Location: WI | The guy who parked next to me parked so close that my mirror was resting on top of his. Good thing they were both plastic so no chipped paint. It wasn't fun climbing in from the passenger side though.
I can't believe I forgot to look at the McNair replica. I guess I was too busy chatting with Hulbert, Ty, and Tanner. |

Location: Minnesota | 9' rods fit in cars you just need to open the window a bit..wouldn't be first time I have seen it done. wrap the end well and put a bright ribbon on it and walla.
