BPS World's Fishing Fair

[Quillback]

Just stumbled across this today.  There are some seminars I would like to see, just wish it was closer.  Would like to know what some of the sales are, hate to go up there and see a bunch of stuff that I don't want.  If anyone goes first day, I would like to hear what they have on sale.

Im going to try to go early the first morning. Parking will probably be an issue they were sitting up tents in front of the store that tool up most of the parking lots, huge tents

Cool - I'd really like to know what you think of it once you've gone.

If my understanding is correct you may not save any money on stuff after you pay to get inside.

Yeah, my biggest expense would be gas money to drive up there.  Have to have some huge deals on stuff I want for it to be worthwhile.  Shimano Stellas for $50 or something like that.  😃

Don't like crowds much anymore.  Get a little anxious which is not how I used to be.  So I'll avoid it even if I do like the place and the seminars sound cool.  Is this maybe the 50th anniversary of Bass Pro or something?

I saw this about the Boone and Crockett awards event. Maybe a little off topic (hunting vs fishing) but will be at the Wonders of Wildlife venue this July. Would love to be out there and go to this event to see the taxidermy. We happened onto the Pope and Young event at the KS Cabelas many year's ago. We had a great time looking at the entries for the record books.

Where is this. A Stella cost $700 bucks and is the best spinning reel on the planet. Where did you see that $50 price tag?

Maybe you didn’t read close enough Mr. B.  I’d buy 50 of them at that price.

Wishful thinking on my part.
