Location: Hayward, WI | It's in the Gangelhoff Center at Concordia University in St. Paul. This is pretty bad, but I THINK this is where it was last year... isn't it? Can't quite remember.
Anyway, just search "MN musky show" in Google and the page(s) for it come up right away.

Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN | Here's the website for George's MN Muskie Expo.
http://www.minnesotamuskieexpo.com/
I heard rumblings at the show last year that parking would not be as big of an issue in 2010. Something about a parking ramp being built? Not sure if that's true or not, just a rumor I heard from a few people.

| Concordia college built a new sports field with parking ramp. I bet it'll be open for parking for the expo. For the Blaine show, I had to park a half mile away in an open field in March. Suck it up, remember you're a muskie fisherman. |

| Guys lets be honest about this!!!!When you look at most average muskie guys,,,,a couple block walk is EXACTLY what they can use  |

Location: Minnesota | I was there last year on Saturday and I didn't think the parking was that bad for a college campus. I only had to walk about a block and a half. We can fish in the rain and wind all day or some of us - snow and ice - but we can't walk 6 blocks to see the best of the best all in one place? I don't get it. I guess the big box store mentality with the 17 acre parking lot right next to the front door has affected people? |

Location: Price County WI | Too many other shows for the vendors to go to in Jan/Feb, Not just Muskie shows that some of us have to go to, theres all fish shows, and shows that wholesalers put on for the stores that you buy from. Most of the guys that rep fishing stuff have some other "Fall" line to rep too, like Archery or some kind of hunting items. |

Location: Mayer, MN | Parking was easily found for us. My wife and my three year old thought is was a great venue also. Nice to have concessions and plenty of sitting area conveniently located also. Looking forward to making it a family outing again. Will they have the children's area again, we missed out on it last year?
I find April to be the perfect time, ice fishing and snowmobiling are done locally around the metro, it is an in between season for us, while we're waiting for fishing opener.

| You cant do alot of stuff on the fairgrounds they have alot of restrictions even in the buildings,,,for one NO raffles,,,which would hurt some of the muskies inc clubs with their fund raisers for fish,,,if you notice they dont sell powerball or pulltabs during the state fair anywhere,,,also I think the building is in use that time |
