Just wanted to give a big thank you to all the venodrs and attendees of the 2012 Ohio Muskie Fishing Show. Although it might not seem like it attendance was up just over 3%. From my vantage point I saw a lot of merchandise walk out of the building and the seminars were backed. I hope everyone learned something and purchase that one bait that will make all the differance in thir 2012 fishing season. One again thanks to everyone because with out everyones support there would not be a show.....see you next time.

I thought it was a great show and I enjoyed the new venue location (much more room to move around, which is why it might have seemed not as well as attended as last year). I know I spent well over $300 and booked a trip to Lake St. Clair in the fall. I am looking forward to next years show already! Thanks for all the hard work putting it on. I know it takes a lot of effort and organization, but I think many appreciate it.

That girl sat next to me in one of the seminars and I had a tough time listening to the speaker.

Best Ohio Show I've been too. Parking could have been better but wasn't to awful bad. I thought I was done shopping until I realize there was a second room. Overall the guys who put the show on did a great job.

The two-room set up was less than ideal. Back room seemed like a ghost town.

If you have ever been to the Ohio Muskie Show and heard me introduce a seminar, one of the first things I do, is thank everyone for coming, without the support of the spectators, the vendors would not come. The distance traveled by both spectators and vendors is great and I take a lot of pride in putting on a good show for everyone involved. I agree the two room set up was not ideal and I am still searching for the "perfect" venue to call the permanent home for the show. With that said we tried the Makoy Center and although it had many positives the search is on for a one room venue. As attendance continues to increase it provides additional options that did not exist before. I think most vendors will agree I am the easiest promoter to work with and do my best to make sure everyone has a successful event. I will take eveyone's feedback into consideration and continue to make necessary improvements to the show each year. I will keep eveyone posted as I begin to put next year's show together.

Thanks again for coming to the Ohio Muskie Show.

It was the first show that I had ever been to and I will most certainly be back. I really enjoyed the seminars. Listening to Mike Hulbert was great. I think I am going to have to book some time in a boat with him. Something tells me that even if you don't catch a fish you will have a good time. After all isn't that what it is all about!! Keep up the good work.

I was at the 2011 show and it was a blast. I like the presentation room upstairs and the vendors in the main room downstairs theme. I'm not sure how it was done this year, but I feel like I would have missed a ton of information if everything was in one room. My only other suggestion is to hold it as far east as you possibly can.
