I'm going to Milwaukee Expo for first time and looking to book a room in hotel. Any advice for "musky friendly" hotel  would be appreciated ?

Thank you in advance.

This is where they hold the swap meet, and it seems like everyone from the show is in the bar after the swap meet. It's the best event of the year IMOP.. I would share some pictures, but can't since they would come after me..

How does the swap work? Can you bring your own table? What time can you set up your table?

Just a quick little tip from a local. I was working the boat show this weekend (also at State Fair Park) and wanted a lunch break. Instead of the limited (not the healthiest choices either) picks at the show booths, I went just across the street to the SE and ate at Pegasus. It's one of those Greek places where the menu is 25 pages long and you can get just about anything you could think of. The prices are really manageable and the portions are pretty much almost more than you can finish. It's totally an easy and fast sneak-away for lunch or really great for breakfast before you start. I know a lot of guys post mostly about fishing, but I think you should talk about what you know!
