Anybody going?

Lenny Baird is such a great guy and angler I almost wanna get a table just to support him. I only sold 100 bux worth of stuff last week at hillendale so I dont know if its worth my time. I have heard however that its a totally different group of ppl that show up so Im still considering it. There was several 30-50 dollar curados and chronarchs last week and new glx rods for 200 bux, zillion rods for 80 bux. Lots of deals to be had. Im willing to bet there is gonna be some sick deals next week. I might just go to shop instead.

any details about this or links about this?  I am about an hour away from Fredricksburg and am debating about heading up there for this and maybe do some fishing.

I will be there. Fo sho. Lock it up.

I was a customer at Hillendale last week. It was really good. I was a seller years ago. I have never been to Fredericksburg. At a firehouse I think.

Hillendale was pretty decent, it was my first time there and there were alot of folks gettin deals. I talked to a guy who usually has a table at all the flea markets and he said the one coming up is gonna be real good cuz it draws alot of the central va hardcore bass anglers. Everyone at the hillendale was lookin for doo doo rods n reels. I saw alot of folks walkin around with 20 dollar rods they bought. I couldnt give away the rods I was tryin to sell, not alot of ppl wanted to spend more then 50 bux. I think there will be more high end buyers and sellers at the stafford/fred show just based on what I was told by a few ppl.

when and where is it? I cant seem to find any info on it..

scratch. here is the info I found:

Where was your table?

I was able to hand pick 7 spinnerbaits for $5. Knew exactly what I was getting. $5-6 baits for $.71 each, brand new. All together, I bought $73 worth of baits for $25.

If this weekend is better, I'm in trouble.

I was in the far corner next to the rest rooms, 2 tables down from the Warbirds table and right next to the greygoatlures * table. I sold alot of plastics, swimbaits , and stuff like that. Sold only one rod and reel all day. I did see alot of good deals but none of it was stuff I wanted/needed. I got to talk to Lenny for a while and he's full of potomac knowledge. Very humble which is refeshing. That guy is the frog king imo.

I checked you out a few of times. I bought three lures from Greygoat.

And passed you on the way to the men's room a couple of times too.

The guy from grey goat was a super nice guy . I talked to him all thruout the day. He's the kinda person I like to buy from and support. Said that was his first show ever, he usually sells from his site exclusively. Lemme know how his gear works out. Did you get spinnerbaits ?

I bought the custom chatter type baits. He sold them for $1 each because I didn't want a skirt. Same baits another vendor was selling for $5.

I ran into "Switchfisher" at the Hillendale swap. He has a great website with a ton of info on canoe and kayak fishing sites all over Northern and Central VA.

On my way. You Richmond guys coming?

Well, I went on the wrong day. I am an idiot.

Haha...you even posted the location and time!  It's all good.  I have my moments as well.

anyone go ? How was it ?

Compared to Dale City, really bad. Not a lot of nicer rods and reals. Some good deals though on baits. I had to drive a long way. Won't go again.
