PNW Sportsman's Show hook up?

Anybody want to meet up and go to the show? If I go solo I usually park at PIR and walk down, but I'd split the parking tax if we had a crew. Then we could buy another Kone Zone flasher with the money saved.

my (*&#%$( #*&$@ boss is still incapable of confirming or denying I have ANY of the days off for the show. 

 Is it worth going again?  I used to go every year since I was a kid but stopped about 5 years ago.  Parking got expensive, wasn't interested in booking a guided hunt etc, not many real "eye popping deals",  I admit its nice to go wander around and just people watch and see all the shiny toys.  So...Should I save my cash and just buy some more lingcod jigs or is it time to give the Sportsman's show another shot?

Jammer, ndogg, and I will be spending a lot of time there.  Next Adventure is going to have a booth slapped full of Hobie Kayaks and people who LOVE talking kayak fishing.  We would love to see our NWKA brethren there!

Btw, there will be deals at this booth!  Anyone who has been waiting for a great deal to buy a Hobie, you will probably want to kick yourself really hard if you miss this opportunity to score some sweet loot at a great price!  *wink wink, nudge nudge!*

I don't attend every year, but there are usually some "show deals" to be had. Some of the tackle shops have piles of old/discontinued jigs and lures they will deal on. Since I've just started to cut 'n drill on my new T13 I want to look for add-ons.

Sportsmens shows have taken a big hit lately.  Here in the Bay Area, we have exactly zero shows left.  We used to have some major ones here like the International Sportsman's Expo, Fred Hall, etc.

In all of NorCal, we are left with only ISE in Sacramento and even that show supposedly wasn't that good this year.

Sign of the times?
