And I can't forget the Justified tackle table

Mildly impressive line up ya got there....:D

Best of Luck

Thanks, its still a work in progress

WOW! That IS an impressive line up (minus the Justified table of course). The more friends that stop by, the smaller my pile of stuff gets :eek: Most of my big ticket items are already gone. It's weird but stuff I bought 10 years ago (still in the package) I am wondering if I should part with...Separation anxiety maybe?? I'm sure I'll find enough stuff to sell; hell I got 2 weeks right? If I have to, I can always just raid a buddy's garage :D.

I need to be sure to sell enough stuff to afford one of those GIANT Spankin' Striper lures (it's like 32oz!) :eek: That guy cracks me up! Could add a couple more spoonbrellas from Capt John to the arsenal too!

Looking forward to it Trey,

Due to unforseen circumstances, Shawn Kimbro will not be able to make the Expo Saturday. However, Rob Christy has been gracious enough to step up to the plate and will be speaking about springtime trolling. We all know he makes a great lure but he is also a very informative speaker. I am really looking forward to his presentation!

A big thanks to CVFD and Shoreboy6 for today. I was albe to sell/ give away everything I had. What deals were had by those who stopped by "Jeff's bargain bin" - 3 brand new parachutes still in the package for a damn $1 :eek: Had lots of fun selling stuff and bought a bunch of new stuff to replace it. Only came out about a $150 in the hole by the end of the day :D
Did have time to talk with some really nice people and appreciate any and all tips they shared!!

PS- Who the hell is this Marty guy people seem to all know? "Mayor of the Chesapeake" is what I heard!!!!?!? :D Your boss told me I got come down for a crab cake and he might throw in a fishin trip!!

Some people are famous, I'm infamous:eek:
We would enjoy having you on the boat and showing you some Western Shore (chickennecker) hospitality. Capt. John cooks a mean crabcake and doesn't do too badly in the fishing department either.

I'm glad eveyone had a good time, I was at an Easter Egg Hunt with the granddaughters and wouldn't have missed it for the world:)
