Locally the show season will be kicked off this weekend at the Monroe Bank and Trust Expo Center at the county fairgrounds. That same weekend Detroit will kick off its show which lasts a week. Those week long ones are always good to hit at the end of their time, better deals that way.
The retail stores also will be introducing new products and having pro’s and reps come in and work with the customers on a one on one basis. This is a prime time for the weekend fisherman, get the latest info, apply it to your craft and fine tune your presentations.
I will be working at the Bass Pro Shops location in Auburn Hills on March 14th and 15th. That is the vendors weekend where all the companies send their reps to work with the folks coming through the store. I enjoy these weekends because its good to teach others, but more often than not I walk away with an idea I can use myself, or maybe modify one to work with my approach towards fishing different species. It really is a win/win for everyone because nobody has a corner on all the really good ideas out there!
