Not specifically fishing related but are and of you North Carolina boys going to the Raleigh Bass and saltwater expo on January 10-12? 

 

If so, send a PM and we'll say hello. I'll be at the Deep Creek Lures booth a good bit of Friday and Saturday.

I was hoping to, and discussed it with @Pat Brown, but they're calling for rough weather up our way so definitely no on tomorrow and probably no on Saturday as well unfortunately. We will see what actually happens and how the roads are. Down your way I'm guessing it'll be fine on Saturday, I live right on the line of potential mess and am not really interested in dealing with it or other drivers. So a 23% chance I'd say  

The weather was already a concern,  but now have last minute family coming in, so regretfully not going to make it.

I really want to - hoping the weather is not as bad as they are calling for.  Would love to visit the Deep Creek booth - some amazing stuff.  Safe travels to anyone who braves it.
