I will be in Cuba drinking mojitos and soaking in some much needed sun , so...no, not this year!

If my name comes up as a ticket winner in the Fish ID contest, please re-raffle it. (Assuming I got that fish right!)

You will be in Cuba and I will be leaving for Mexico a few days later. I go to the Outdoor Show every year but this will be one I am going to have to miss. Need to spend the weekend with the kids before we leave on the 7th.

Yes, I'll be going. It's kind of a love/hate thing with me. Love the show - hate the parking hassle. I usually do find a good deal on some piece of gear that makes it worthwhile though.

I love going to this show.  It's a great time catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones.  Plus the seminars are often pretty darn cool.

Livinlarge what was so disappointing? just curious.
I will definitely try to get there at a better time, last year's line up was crazy.
Oh and the parking =/

I just bought a new boat, and plus I've been taking a lot of time off to snowboard and go to casinos, if anyone has a spare ticket and maybe a few bucks, I wouldn't mind picking up a new 24 volt bow mounted trolling motor with a built in charger, a spey rod and reel, and a new pair of polarized sun glasses.  All minimum 50 dollar cash donations can be sent to 2443 Tollcross avenue, North Vancouver, V7G 1H8.
Thank you

Well I will be there on Saturday and I hope to see a few fishermen that I know as I have a few new cork floats that I have been building and would like to get some of these floats to them so that they can fish them. Searun and I have been fishing our cork floats and absolutly love how they ride in the water. I hope that they will like them as well. I really hope to see Chris there to get him one of these floats.
