Spent some time tonight getting ready for the Winter Classic Awards Ceremony organizing over $4,300 in cash to give out plus there will be a trailer full of gear in prizes, door prizes, and raffles! Gotta be present to win this time and there's a ton to win!! Show kicks off at 10am and runs until 3pm, dinner banquet from 5-6:30 with the awards ceremony to follow!

 

Also, for those coming to the Spring Classic Sportsman Show I will be showing the new Fish Fighter Products line and how I will be working with them to adapt their current systems to how we run our spreads out here in the Great Lakes. This new system will allow for an array of rod holders that are all hot-swappable and moveable with the pull of a spring pin. I'll be working with them this spring to adapt it into our current tracks (if you already have them installed, like the Cannon or Traxtech systems) or installing just the FF rails.

Scott Brauer from Makiplastic will have his minnow race tracks there to have some fun with the kids, and will likely run a seminar or two where anglers always come away with extremely valuable information! Several of the vendors will be running giveaways and there will be some awesome deals to be had - like Koyote Ugly Spoons Inc flashers for only $20, including the new 2019 designs like the Oregon Special and the last of the Shockwave Glow design (only 25 left), and My Way Charters will be offering discounted rates for booking at the show for the 2019 season!! 

 

I also received the $10,000 in cash from Batavia Downs to guarantee that it will be paid out to one of the 1st place winners in the 2019 Summer Classic!! It's time to see what the Classic events can really pay out when we get several thousand to participate!! You can view the guaranteed payouts on the website at each attendance level. We'll also have a split event this year with the main event and a C&R Event running side by side - more details to come! To get a sneak peak, visit: www.NYSsummerclassic.com
