I left early. It wasn't nearly as good as the one I attended in Florida
many years ago. After George Poveromo introduced a couple of people, all
the presentations consisted of two different groups of four professional
guides, most from the area and one from New Jersey and another from the
Massachusets area, talking and talking and talking. No demos of new
techniques, no demos of the latest gear, no Q&A, no in-depth discussions
of specific locations. It was pretty lame. One of local dealerships puts
on a much better fishing seminar in the spring.

Oh...about 700 guys attended. No kidding. It was held in the auditorium
of Annapolis High School. Too hot in the room, too. I did meet a couple
of interesting guys who ship chum logs around the country.

We missed your pretty face at the Tri-State flea market today. I think
everyone on the *other* group was there buying or selling. Even
Brandon showed up with a table full of sweat and t-shirts with
tidalfish written all over them.

I stocked up on some bucktails, parachutes, and sassy shads, and got a
new 6 pronged umbrella rig, only about 8" diameter. Will see how it
all works come end of March.
