I got there 30 minutes early and was still 300-400 people back in line!

Well, I wasn't going to go, but I wanted to get some P-Soul business cards out there and talk to some of the vendors and try and get our name out there. It was a very nice meeting a bunch of vendors and trip adventure folk and I even bumped into a bunch of Hooligans that I knew. ;)

I played with a lot of the new gear and got to check a lot of new cool things out. There was much more in the way of vendors there this year, but it seemed like there were some decent deals to be had.
I even got to watch a few Duck Races. ???

I bought some gear, but not much and saw a bunch of good friends as well as making some new ones in the process. Before I knew it, I was there for almost 6 hours and my back and leg just had it. 2 pain killers and 2 beers definitely helped until it all wore off. LOL
Until next Year! Adios!

No swag or new gear to report?
Not really. I bpought some River2Sea lures as well as some trout stuff and plenty of small swimmy's. Also picked up some sabikis. The two custom rods and 3 reels I bought earlier just broke the bank. lol
Here are a couple of examples.

Tom, good to see you were able to make it. Did you see that bad ass 25' Ranger CC? Its calling your name man. ;)
Sunday was fun. I had a Turners gift card to burn which went towards a new Daiwa Sealine and a pair of fillet gloves. Got hooked up on some freebies including the Ecoleeser I've been eyeing for awhile. Got to climb into a lot of boats with the kiddo. Took a family pic with Flo. MUCH more relaxing than LB and less taxing on the wallet. :)
