Think all of the protesters will be cleared out of Madtown by then?
Would like to go, but hear the hotels are booked with people with pitchforks......

Any insight would be great.
Thanks

Plenty of hotel rooms in town. The ones downtown might be full but you wouldn't want to stay down there anyway....chaos.

If the three hotels near the show are full (doubtful), there are tons of hotels on the east and west sides of town.

The weather tomorrow should thin the herd.

I will be there at booth #1112 with Lee Lures Surface Baits. I will have four colors of the new "Mini-Chopper" which are Loon, Black/Orange Flame, Firetiger Musky, and Black/Holographic Glitter.

I will also be giving a presentation Friday night at 7:00 entitled "Muskie Mechanics" which touches on some fundamentals as well as describing my top 50"+ techniques in detail.

Also included will be footage of a high forty pounder caught casting last fall! Followed by a trailer for our new Fishing Show BIGFISH365 for 2012!

Hope to see you there!

If you can't find a hotel all you have to do is bring some type of political sign and a sleeping bag and you can spend the night inside the capital for free.

My vote: Sportsman's Channel, Outdoor Network, or Versus. They are the only three I get.

If anyone has any Lee Lures Surface Baits that need a "tune up" just bring them to the show and I will dial them in for you.

Or if you have any brand of topwater bait for that matter and are having issues with them running, I would be more than happy to take a look at it for ya and run it in my "Turning Trough" to see what I can do? Tuning surface baits is just plain fun for me I guess?

Hope to see you there!

Thanks,

Lee

As did I. Picked up 6 cranks for $37 that probably would have run close to $100 new. I always go there first, and the guys in the booth are always great to talk with.

The board has been picked through pretty good, but some stuff remains, just depends on what you are looking for. Wew had folks looking at the board before we even opened on Friday.

Its only been the last few years that the muskie craze has hit its stride. Yes, quite a bit of muskie gear now. It sounds like they had a good couple of days and more than likely will be back.
