With Mike Iaconelli giving talks at the bass tank. Heres a link: http://www.columbusboatshow.com/SportsVacationBoat/Features.html

crap, let me know how that one goes.  No show for me this weekend, got the wife's birthday coming up!

Too bad. My parents are letting me cash a 50$ bond from my aunt to go spend on a new rod at the show. :)

Just got back from the show and loved it. I caught some trout in the trout pond they had there. Listened to a seminar by Mike Iaconelli and picked up a bunch of soft plastics.

My brother-in-law went down on Saturday evening and has a new pontoon on the way, so the boat show side of things must have been good!  How was the fishing gear/shows?

Sweet deals. Shimano had all there spinning reels marked down and they had an awesome booth dedicated to rods and reels all marked down  like 20 or 30 dollars.
