You're right MB, As the way it has shown this year a person can not make the investment back on the booth they paid for.

Either the sportsman has in their mind what they want and has done all their proper research and found their lodge, or fly-in, or bait company source for what they like, and so on with rds and reels, we have had these conversations in the past as to who has the best options for heavey duty salt water action rods and reels,
Basically these shows are "TRADE" shows, and are also meant for the general public.

I think that the Canadian promotions on fishing has died like the dinosaur.

And to have 2-3 fishing/boat shows every wek with one province hurts the whole industry, it is not a novelty anymore, it seems that it is just another piece of information that is forced upon the public.

I noticed that at the spring show.

Everyone knew each other, there is still 4 more weeks of the "SHOW SEASON" many shows you will never hear about, but it all takes away from one great show.
People either need to be educated more,
or some shows just need to shut down all together.

It comes with the circus and local fairs/carnivals all around, how many events can the general public actually visit?

In the end these shows will either buy each other out, or just go bankrupt, to many at one time of year, makes no sense to me...


That's my rant.
