We are getting a little break right now while Dave Genz does a seminar. It is funny how this place clears out into the Roy Wilkens at the mention of Mr. Icefishing's name
Skipper, did you go and take a few lessons? He is supposed to be coming this way to Lake George this winter.
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

Yup good times seeing you guys today! I "have" to go shoot at some pheasants on saturday but I'll see you again Sunday morning! Have fun and stare at the bikini ice fishing team for me!  ;)

If I'm not fishing or hunting right now, you can bet that I\'m thinking about it!

So  how many new members have you signed up ?

Swung by the booth and it was funny, they seemed more interested in keeping the chat on the site going than they were talking or engaging the people coming by the booth.

The expo was great. Lots of new portables. The pop-ups were the newest and biggest things. And frankly, at $139 for a 3 man pop up, it took all my restraint not to buy one. My current Frabill cost me around $300 new. I think I'd sell it in a minute to grab one of the new pop ups.

I also loved a new semi-swimming lure from Lindy called the "slick jig". What was cool about it is that it's weighted to use live bait off the back and when you give it a tug, it shoots out to the side and comes back to the middle. Not unique? Maybe, but it didn't act like an airplane jig or swimming jig. Way less heavy and complicated. I really liked them and plan to use them on 'eyes as soon as the lakes freeze here in MN. I wished that they came with a hint of glow, but I guess the action will bring in fish. I grabbed the last one in 3/8oz. size that they had. They were flying off the shelves of Lindy and Reeds. Something to look for this winter.

A big shout out to Frabill for handing out UL ice rods to the little ones at the show. "My First Frabill" rods were given out as kids passed by along with drop weights to some lucky adults. Some great deals on shacks and great ideas to get the glands salivating.

I hope you all have a great show. See you on the ice.

Do you know if he is planning some sort of seminar when he does? Or is he just coming to fish?

So I did buy a few things.  I got a Stony Legacy rod case.  Holds 8 rods and lots of gear.

Also a Lure Lighting light for my Vexilar.  It takes the place of one of the knobs on the side to hold it on the pack and connects to the battery.  A push of the button and the light is on until released.  A little overkill for what I need, but a great add on. 



I also got a Ram Mount for my GPS for the truck and 4wheeler, some Rapid Pole Slide Clips for the Yukon, and a Chubby darter in the new holographic pattern.  All good stuff.

Also for a friend I picked up a set of Vexilar Cold Snap bibs, 2 jig rods. 2 rod holders, and a Bikini Ice Fishing calendar signed by the 2 girls at the booth. 

I'd love to go back, but work and hunting calls.  I work 12 hrs today and am taking a guy that is deploying to Iraq on a hunt on Sunday till Wednesday with the ML.

Is that light made by Vex, or another aftermarket manufacturer?  If so, Who sells it & for how much?
