Michigan Muskie Alliance

I haven't heard much about the up coming show this weekend. What I have heard on muskiefirst is a lot of bashing about the promotion/promotors of the show. What's up with that? I know I will be going to the show. Hopefully it's a good turnout and there will be more booths then last year. What's your opinion on the show? Anybody got any updates on the show?

I will be there Saturday morning. I agree that there has been absolutely no push for this show and I don't know why. Hopefully word of mouth will be strong enough to get people there and next year things are better. As far as the show goes, I think it's great, I just wish they served beer.

Should be a good show. There will be some new vendors and of course MMA will be there with some sweet shirts for sale.

I'll have some updates for you on Monday.

This show needs to do well this year, both being new and after last year. The stuff on M1st comes from frustration over the lack of advertising and difficulty hearing back from the show promoter. I know three major vendors that WONT be there because they couldn't get a reply to their emails or phone calls. I talked to a few vendors at the OH show that were actually curious as to if the show was even still happening or not because they hadn't heard anything on it. I hope the word is out and the people come.

And I'm glad they DON'T serve beer!!! Beer makes me a happy spender with money I don't really have! lol

Will, what topic will you being discussing for your seminar on Sunday?

I'll be talking about S. Mich. inland lakes and their associated "hot bites".

Will this be recorded for those of us that won't be there Sunday?

I don't think so.

Well then it needs to be.......anybody?????

Anybody go to the show today? How was it??

Heard it was dead right now...I will be there tomorrow.

I won the first drawing. I think it was 50/50 on whether they called my ticket or my buddies as it seemed we were the only non vendors there!!! I hope it picks up tomorrow!!!

I just got back from helping out at the booth. Very slow today. Hopefully it is much busier the next couple days. We did get a couple of prospective new members though so hopefully they will sign up. One guy lives on Budd lake and I think he might join. It was nice meeting some members for the first time too.

Today's show enjoyed a very low student to teacher ratio, no fighting for elbow room. That's poistive spin. It was nice talkin some shop and dreamin about muskies. I liked having Michigan Muskie Shop there so there was more stuff than just the bait makers
