J. Sparrow Posted January 5, 2017 Report Posted January 5, 2017 Best thing about this show is the seminars......... very good local information....... a great way to spend a January day...... or weekend.
Nalod Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Cabin fever has set in pretty bad for me...I cannot wait for this weekend to attend!
Ten Percent Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Ditto...looking forward to the seminars
CSH Kucinski Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 What's good about this show is that it is focused in on fishing and fishing only. No T-Shirt or Beef Jerky booths!
Jay jay Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 No swap meet this year, too bad , I really enjoyed it and always found good deals
Nalod Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 So what did everyone end up getting at the show? I picked up a Legend Plow custom painted by Dutchfork Custom Lures. I am kicking myself for not getting more of his custom work...the entire table looked amazing! --Joe 1
BlueEye Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Bought that same pattern from Dutch fork in the 9" jointed model! Keith was a really nice and does great work. Will definitely be sending him some baits to repaint. Walleye guys should check out his ghost blades. The show overall was awesome! Had a lot of fun, went Saturday and Sunday.
Reel Overtime Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 I went up and spent two days there, great seminars, Bought a smart troll system, cant wait to try it ... also picked up the three reels from anglers ave for my copper line sets, Great weekend, see ya there next yr.. Rick 1
Ten Percent Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 hey Rick (Reel Overtime), is the "smart troll system" some type of digital speed/throttle control for your kicker trolling motor (gas operated)?
Reel Overtime Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 no its not, its a speed ,temp, and depth censor with multi probes so we can see depth of dippsys, riggers, leadcore or wire,.. I can track 4 rods with the system i got, If you want to see more just add more probes...
Ten Percent Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 What did that run you $$ ?Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Reel Overtime Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 mine was like 1500$ retail but got a show disc.. you get a basic kit to install than add probes, ill get depth from 4 locations,(or rods) i hope it works as good as the reports say... I do have a fish hawk on my boat now, Look them up... Smart troll.. My friend got one too, come on spring..
Nalod Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 I was really impressed with Angler's Avenue. Their selection was perfect for the show! I came right home and bookmarked their website for future purchases! --Joe
CSH Kucinski Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Reel Overtime, How do you like your FH and is there any distinct advantage on the ST VS. your FH? Pros and Cons? Thanks
Reel Overtime Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 I have not used the smart troll yet but i like the fact that i can put the probes on my dippsys or out on lead core and see them, multiple probes at a time.. real time readings... i have no affiliation with the makers of this system, I'm just a fisherman looking to be better.... I have owned two fish hawks, the X-4 and an old 840... they did what they were suppose to, speed and temp at ball and boat..
T-Trophy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Nolad, Keith at Dutch Fork does awesome custom paint jobs. I have had him paint me some lures. I talked to him at the Niagara show over the weekend , I am sending him some smithwicks and deep thundersticks to paint.They catch fish. Have not used his crawler harnesses I am sure they catch fish also
Nalod Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 T-Trophy, I am interested in his ghost blades. While I am just getting into walleye fishing, I noticed in the corner of his booth some prototype mag-sized (10, 12, etc) ghost blades that he will be painting up for Musky inline bucktails. It will be interesting to see how they pull and if they will still attract the toothy critters like a pair of mag-colorado blades effectively does! I need to also look more into his custom painting. I would love to send in a box of lures for him to paint! --Joe
meangreencj7 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 I bought a couple of downrigger poles from ricks sporting goods, always get a good price from him at the show ($80 rods for $50) can't beat that. Unfortunately it looks like my last show, driving 70+ miles taking a full day off work (i work weekends) and then they canceled the best part of the show, the swap meet!!!!! I will have to see about attending some of the losta swap meets this year (even more days off work......oh well) My impression of the show is that it is now mostly vendors, some of which don't sell anything there, and seminars. I go to the show with my daughter every year and she was upset there was no fishing pond, no rifle range, nothing for the kids to do ( even thought they say it is a famliy event?????)
