This past weekend I was hanging out at the Let's Go Fishing Show in Collinsville, IL. The show had a pretty good turnout considering all the snow,ice,and really cold temperatures we got just a day or so before the show. All kinds of local fishermen made their way to this annual event. The Let's Go Fishing Show has been an annual event for the past 16 or 17 years. I myself remember going to the show as far back as when I was just nine or ten years old.
In attendance were a couple of Elite Series Anglers to offer tips and advice. I got to see Mark Menendez once again and chat a little bit with Randy Howell. Also at the show was Elite Series Angler Mark Tucker.
During the show I spent most of my time at the Bluff City Tackle booth helping people with their tackle selections. It was awesome to get to talk to people about fishing jigs,crankbaits,and shakeyheads. So many people that I talked to had never heard of shakeyhead fishing and it was great to be able to get them all set up and give them specific information on how to fish the rig to catch more fish. It was also great to see a lot of people that I fished against or that I used to fish with in the past.
It was also great to chat it up with some of the guys in the Steel City Bassmaster's Club. Talk about a great group of guys and characters! I fished a couple of their tournaments in the past and have always had fun.
Hopefully things will start to warm up here! It's been really cold the last couple of weeks. Everything is iced up and the cold temperatures have kept people inside with a bad case of cabin fever. That's all for now. Check back soon for more happenings.
