I was only there for the first hour because of other stuff I had to do today, but it was definately a fun time. For next year we should for shure set up a table of our own with possibly a sign in sheet so we could see how many of us were there. I'm certain I walked right past many LOU members there and didn't even know it. I didn't have enough time for any seminars but from what I heard they were pretty good. Well there's always next year.- Let's hear some further feedback. - Mick

[Tim Bromund]

Thanks for the recap and nice words Ray. It was nice to finally meet you as well. Thanks to you and everyone else that joined this weekend.

Dan and Dave seemed pleased with the weekend and there was already some preliminary talks of doing it again next year.

I know I walked out of the expo this afternoon with not a single dollar left in my pocket. The A-Tom-Mik display seemed to be 3 deep the entire day.

Now I can't wait to get out and play with all my new toys.

Tim, Great job by yourself, Joe, Curt and the others. We had a great time this weekend going to both events. Hope to do it again next year. I'm glad we left when we did. Ran into a couple of whiteouts on the way home-Duane

Tim,

Great seeing you and a lot of other familiar LOU members. KUDOS to you and your LOTSA gang on another outstanding weekend of events. As previously stated I too left penniless from teh LOTSA EXPO.

Please pass along my and I am sure everyone elses sincere thanks for the effort and all the hard work it takes to pull something like this off. It says a lot for your organization.

Ditto to what has been said - great to meet all the LOU guys I did today and put faces with screen names. Tim, good to finally meet you and thanks to you and the other LOTSA members for putting on a great, WELL RUN show. I'm proud to be a new member! Remember as we complain about not knowing where the taxes and fees we pay as sportsman in this state go, we do see where the $10 for a membership to organizations like LOTSA goes - to improve OUR fishery.

Nice job to Tim and the rest of the LOTSA memebers for putting on such a great event. I have been looking forward to it for the last couple weeks. Great to hear Dan Keatings seminar along with the other charter captains that gave there time and experience and took the time to answer alot of questions by the audience.

Great event, scored some cool new toys to organize into the arsenal, just a couple more weeks. I as well left with a significantly smaller amount in my wallet than when I walked in.

Thanks again to all that helped in putting on the event. COme oHNNN SPrRIiiing

I agree that it is a great event. My wallet left a lot lighter but when I got home I looked at what i got for the money and was very pleased. I have a very good selection of spoons now without breaking my bank. The info aquired will also help alot.

[Iceman]

For those of us who were unable to make the Keating seminar, what were the important takaways from the presentation?

[waterlogged]

Ice - what is it worth to ya?

The goodie bag was the important take away

Clarke;

I can give you a couple of hot waypoints for Oneida Lake, depending on what you can say about the Keating presentation.

[Shade]

I am also a member of LOTSA, great orginazation. I also found some great deals. Slippery Sinker and A-TOM -MIC had some of the best. I had the pleasure of meeting some fellow fisherman from across the border and even ran into some ex-coworkers from Wellsville. We had a good time, spent some money and know we will see if our investment pays off.

Looking forward to once again cleaning my spoons and flies in Lake Ontario and maybe this year we will get some fish attached to them.

Thank you to all involved. I learned quite a bit and did my fair share to boost the economy. Maybe Obama should take some lessons
