Thanks to all for attending and bringing in the HUGE food donations. Slamr ran a great event as usual. Thanks again to St Croix, Tackle Industries, and Badwater Baits for the donations and for sponsoring the event!

Is there also a swap in milwaukee? If so is it open to any one, and where and when is it. Thank you.

Agree, this was a great swap. Best time I have had at a swap in years. Great to see old freinds. Thanks to Slammer and MF! One year we should consider name tags with our board names.

Thanks for a great time. I only bought one lure and 122 flahabou skirts! Hard to believe Steve was able to take two pictures of me before his camera broke!

Once again, Slamr did a GREAT job organizing the swap and it was nice to see some old friends. The scheduled start time was 7pm . Hahahahaha. People were leaving the show early to get to the swap. "Vendors" were setting up as early as 4pm!! Had to leave the swap early as it was taking an hour+ to get food and my Son was staring longingly at others plates. LOL.The swap Gods smiled upon us as I found the only bait I was looking for and my Son was given a Lucky Craft "Real California" that he lusted after. Good times , great sponsors and all for a great cause.
