Location: Elk Grove Village, IL & Phillips, WI | I was wondering what the situation is with the Chicago show(s). I tried going to Tri-Esox Production's website, www.chicagomuskieshow.com and the domain name is expired. Does this mean there will only be the new show at the Sear's Center? If so, that will make my decision much easier as to which show to attend for the weekend. I go all 3 days and was wrestling with which to attend. Anyone know the scoop? |

Tri Esox is no more.
There is so much that could have been done to make that show a winner. There's more musky guys down here in N IL than you can shake a stick at, and the show is smack dab in the wealthiest part of the state. Not sure what the promoters were thinking, but when the IL guys are going to the Milwaukee show instead of the one in their own back yard, it ought to be a clue that you need to do something.

Sears Centre Arena
5333 Prairie Stone Pkwy, Hoffman Estates, Illinois 60192
Supported by Cabelas, this is a brand new show that will be held at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, IL, right on Interstate 90, a newer suburb of Chicago. 3200 free parking spaces. A venue of 6 years old to support all the Muskie Manufacturers, Top Muskie Resorts, Area Muskie Clubs plus some fund raising events through out the show hours. This show management has 30 years putting on fishing consumer shows and 22 years putting on Muskie shows.
We already received tons of support with deposits down and looking to be sold out soon. Hope you pass the word and mark your calendars as you will enjoy a whole weekend of MUSKIE FUN here.

| I sorry about seeing it go too, really I am....look so forward to a musky fix in the snow. But the above comment about why Illonois folks would come to Wisconsin in the winter not really well thought out?? Answer: To see an NFL team! |

Location: oswego, il | The sears center is a great venue. Its a wrap around stadium area of food vending and a VIP bar area. Seen a few slaughter games there. Its right across the street from cabelas. And plenty of places to eat close by. |

| Cabelas doesn't carry near the stuff Thornes and Rollie & Helen's carry not even close. If it's just Cabelas the show will close before it opens |
