Joe from Reel Fishing has worked hard to get this event rolling. It will actually last three days (Friday - Sunday) but Saturday is going to be his "event" day where various product reps show-up to provide product demos and info on many different ice fishing products, in addition to all the seminars.

I'm really looking forward to spending a day out there where I get to talk ice fishing with other diehard ice anglers. A day playing around with ice fishing gear and chatting about ice fishing... only thing better than that would be actually sitting out on the ice ... but I guess it'll have to wait a couple more weeks...

I hope to see some of you there, and make sure you stop and introduce yourself. I always like meeting other FMer's and getting a chance to put a few faces with some of the names I see here on the site.

I plan on ice fishing in the area quite often this winter as well, so it would be nice to meet others who spend a lot of time ice fishing in SouthCentral MN, and maybe we can make plans for some ice outings...

See all of you on Saturday!

Hey Matt, I will be working there till 10 but will stay longer to chat about walking on the hard water again. Its getting close so it will be fun.

I will be heading over there on Saturday for sure. I have never been there so I am excited to check it out. I went to the seminar Matt and Tom put on last year at Gander Mountain in Mankato and learned quite a bit of new information - which turned into many more fish through the hole that winter. I will also be looking for some new reels.

See ya there,

Loebs

Will there be any seminars on dogfish through the ice?

[Matt Johnson]

I might be able to arrange something. Maybe even tie in "stupid rigging?"

[Matt Johnson]

I just got back from Reel Fishing and Tackle and let me say, Joe has that placed decked out with ice fishing gear! A ton of options for the ice angler to choose from...

This Saturday is going to be a lot of fun. I'm going to try and touch on as many tackle options as possible, and their uses for out on the ice. The when's, where's, what's and why's of ice fishing tackle...

Matt I was hoping to talk to you on sat. but I am still not done with work yet. I am thinking about the ice fishing show on the 3rd, you going to be there ???

[Matt Johnson]

Ken,

Yep, I'll be at the Ice Show in St. Paul as well. I'll be in the Thorne Bros booth again helping Thorne Bros and Today's Tackle. Stop by and chat. I would like to make a few plans to hit the ice with you and your sons this winter too. Maybe see if we can't watch your son pull in another monster walleye

[Team Otter]

Have a good time today Matt. I hope Joe has a good turn out. Tell him I say "hi". I don't think I'll be able to make it.

Take it easy on letting out "stupid" information. That is a valuable secret.

[Matt Johnson]

All information pertaining to anything "stupid" will not be disclosed today The secret is safe
