Carrington Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 ill be there saturday and sunday. hoping to find a good deal on a shimano crucial. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 17, 2011 Super User Posted January 17, 2011 This'll be my first time going, and I plan on staying from open to close on saturday, are there some things i'd be stupid not to bring? Other than Pen and paper for notes and autographs, money for tackle, what else would be advisable? I'll be bringing my camera too so I can get a few shots of the pros fishing in the big tank. And carrington, if your ever in the Stafford area, and havent fished a crucial, i'll let you fish mine for a bit... Atleast when the ice thaws : Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 17, 2011 Super User Posted January 17, 2011 Bring a plastic bag to carry stuff that you will pick up. I will bring a shopping bag with me. You can bring a plastic grocery bag but bring something to carry stuff in. Visit the DG&IF to try to get a free poster of common fish of Virginia or the crawfish poster. Plus pick up their freebies. As for photos, YES!!! Bring that camera. Look for Denny and Woo and get your photos taken with them. Both are very nice guys. May I suggest walking around first and then taking a second pass to pick up those items you want at the best price you can get. Look out for the Bait Monkey. He is lurking around the Expo just looking for you. P.S. Don't forget that Green Top is having a sale that weekend so head to Green Top on Route 1 off exit 86 at Elkmont. Quote
typed by ben Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 so excited... i noticed the other day that it was still light at 5:45... that only means one thing: the days are getting longer! in the eyes of the eternal optimist, december 24th is the real first day of spring ;D Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 18, 2011 Super User Posted January 18, 2011 So the only other expo i've been to is the Dulles fishing expo with my grandpa, and I swear from one seminar I walked away with 2 spools of different size mono, lure spray/scent , a pack of hooks and a hat. Do they love to give out alot of free stuff too at the Richmond expo? If so, I may just bring a drawstring backpack. Quote
Morelures Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Im looking forward to this, and I feel bad leaving them home so the bait monkeys will be coming with me to buy "morelures!" Will Daves tourtament tackle be there this year? If so I will be getting custom jigs made, great staff and great products! Quote
Aluma-Bass Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Im sure Dave's will be there! as far as freebie stuff i really didnt see much of that going on last year. be sure to stop by the greentop stand as they will have some good prices im sure! 8-) Quote

Atleast when the ice thaws : i dont know where stafford is and usually im in richmond or blacksburg. richmond when im home and blacksburg when im at school. Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 18, 2011 Super User Posted January 18, 2011 Weather is getting better for the weekend. Up to 2-inches of snow mixed with rain so the weather is not going to be a problem. Carrington, get a map of Virginia and find Stafford. Leave Richmond and head north on I-95. Stafford is at exit 140. Carrington needs to tour the state to learn about these places we talk about and live. There is a world outside of Blacksburg!!!! ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 18, 2011 Super User Posted January 18, 2011 Morelures, check out the web site and the Vendors. Dave's Tackle is going to be there. http://www.ncboatshows.com/show.php/eventId/3 Bring lots of money!!!!! ;D ;D ;D Quote

Carrington Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 if you want to learn finesse fishing then come up here. Its basicaly the only think that works all the time in my opinion. Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I might have to do Friday now post work..... which is not ideal, but mid-day Sunday is not ideal either, especially with football on too. Anyone going to be willing to trade notes and or comments on some of these tank demo's? Quote

DaveSurfs Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'll be down there Saturday as well. Hope to learn a thing or two. BassClary I sent you a PM. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 50% of not having a ride now. Balls. :-/ Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Carrington.....3:36AM? Are you up studying???? Be sure to bring lots of money to the Expo and meet the vendors, guides and speakers. Get your photo taken with Woo and Brauer. Speak with Woo on fishing your Virginia local waters. Woo is an expert for tidal rivers and local lakes. Quote
intheweeds Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I see a few of you are going on Saturday. Should we pick a meeting place so we can say hi? How about 1:00 with Woo Daves or 3:00 with Denny Brauer? I will be wearing a blue St. Croix seatshirt and a Reel American Heroes Foundation hat. Quote
Carrington Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 sam, i do my best work late at night, 3:36 is early in my book. Quote
Morelures Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Did anyone go today? If so how was it? Quote
