Just wanted to thank all NJFISHING members for stopping by to say hello and introduce themselves. Also a pleasure speaking with people from this forum.

Special thanks for those who sat through the seminar we presented at each day. I hope that my enthusiasm and knowledge will help you improve your fluking experience.

So there were rattle tail bucktails available there.....new concepts I guess. Wondering if any other tackle sellers or manufacturers were opposed to this or had concerns?

I grabbed one of the minnows in the herring pattern. Pretty eager to see how it performs!

That's what I meant to say... My bad!

Met a gang of old friends while working the Shu Fly booth. Al Ristori and fly legend Joe Blaze came by to sample some of our new fly rods which are really getting popular. We were selling L/R hand fly reels for $40 with tapered fly line already spooled on them. Good deal that was. We blew out of bunch of real nice blackfish/cod poles for $50 each. Fuji guides on some nice blanks. We will be coming out with some first class light saltwater rods with cork grips and butts in a few months.
I want to thank Billy Meltzer for selling my son his first surf pole at a great deal. Meltzer Sport Shop has been in business for many decades. Their prices are more than fair. I saw a hundred or more rods walking by with the orange Meltzer signs attach to them. They have seasoned fishermen as sales people, which is rare nowadays.
Thanks again to everyone who came by. It made my 10 hours go by fast. -Cuz-

We had a great "preseason" Cock Robin breakfast gathering Saturday morning at the Edison Diner prior to hitting the Expo. It was so much fun seeing all who showed including crew members Capt. Jim, Deckhands Bill (Reel Nauti), Stephen, and Garrett. There was even talk of making this an annual event!!!!

Not all who came to breakfast made the expo but most did and we had a fun time there as well. It is amazing how I can walk through the doors knowing that I do not "need" anything and still spend over $100.00 lol.

Like everyone else, I cannot wait to get back out on the water with you guys!!!

Tight Lines!!!!
