How was the show?  Im looking at going on Sunday.

[jimfish]

The show is now through Sunday. It was Ok, not much local or icefishing stuff there. If you need to stock up on jigs they have them there and also one guy was selling a neat lite for night fishing with tipups, I think it was a little too small or may be it would be better if it blinked.

Thats funny. Not much icefishing stuff this year?  I would have thought with the growing popularity of the sport there would be, not to mention there was no Madison or Arlington Heights show this year,  Was it pretty much the same vendors as last year??

[jimfish]

I would say the same vendors, but less of them. I really miss the Arlington Show because the Ice team would be there. They always seemed to have the answers I was looking for. I think I will skip the show next year.

[shwung79]

I agree.  The Arlington show was much better.  Thats too bad they had gotten rid of it.  Well, Im going to go to Rosemont on Sunday and see what they have for me?

I would like to see Arligton come back, I always thought the Rosemont was a junk shop anyway. I think the Rosemont could be as good as Arlington uses to be with some better planning.
I didn't see any ice fishing clubs like at arlington, Oh well.....maybe next time.
