37th Annual Houston Fishing Show

But my new rod arrived UPS today...just in time for Baffin, so it's kind like I went, but didn't!

Good info Moe...especially that last bit!

I went today! I had so much fun it ought to be illegal! Got an opportunity to talk with Mickey Eastman for a few minutes without interruption. Dude is really mellowing out as he gets older. Met JQ after Mickey's seminar and we talked for a good while. Really enjoyed just talking with him! Bought a bunch of stuff I know I don't need, but i have some new lures to try! I met the owner of TTF and Norton Lures. The new Shiney Hiney lures look incredible. JP Chavez was manning the TTF booth in the afternoon and that guy LOVES fishing! I really enjoy just listening to this guy talk fishing. He is ate up with it! I got a free ticket for Saturday, so i'll go back and hang out with Nathan Gray and his dad at their booth and chill with the CCA folks and talk up the STAR Tourney.
FYI- If you like Castaway rods, they got 'em and they are sellin' them cheap. Well, the older models anyway. The Baad Marine booth was packed the entire time I was there. After Mickey's seminar, they sold a whole bunch of Maniac Mullets. Mickey loves that bait! If you have not seen the Fishing Analyst Software, go by their booth and check it out! The guys at Austin Canoe and Kayak are some of the most knowledgeable and customer friendly guys I have ever met! Hot is an understatement for the girl handing out cards for the Boat Club folks. You join the club and they supply the boat for you to fish or for other recreational water sports. I'm not interested in the club, but she was drawing some serious attention!
One more thing: Take a set amount of cash with you! Leave all other manner of purchasing power at HOME! Not in the vehicle, not in the wife's purse, leave the checkbook, cards, and other cash you do not want to spend at home! If you don't, prepare to spend your summer doing honey-do's! You will spend it if you bring it! Y'all have fun now, ya hear!
