Location: WI | Not sure how happy the college would be for me to say this, but.....bring a padlock and lock up your jacket and goodies in the bathroom/locker room. Best way for sure.

| And don't be suprised by how little in stature all of the big names look (well, not all ... but alot). Just seeing pictures or videos or TV shows makes them look different ... they are fairly short and skinny (again, not all). |

As a big fat guy I'd have to say that that makes a lot of sense. You're not going to be fat and out of shape very long if you're putting the kind of time in on the water that these guys typically do. Besides, it helps to be short and thin if your profession is muskie fishing - it makes all the muskies you catch look huge! |

See attached document.
Starts at 7, but people start setting up around 5:30PM (ie. if you want to sell/trade, get there early to get a table).

Location: Tinley Park. Fish Cen IL. Bass & Vilas Cty.Muskie | The show is small but specialized. I go there to learn, get seminars times and go to a few. They might start right away.In between try and learn something from every booth. How was fishing last Summer, how was fishing last Fall ?? If you see a madhouse at a booth, ask someone who is coming out of the Hundle what the commotion was about. If he saids its about a special lure, ask him if you could see it and where he's going to use it? There is alot of good information at the Show if you listen and ASK a good question or two. Let the venders talk, It is your time to Listen... |

Location: Greenfield, WI | If you prefer smaller crowds, you may consider coming to the show on Sunday morning, through the early NFL Playoff game where they are trying to determine who will be playing the Packers next week.
There will be many large screen TV's with the game on it, so if you have interest you still can keep track of how the Bears are doing. |
