Had the big fishing show in Costa Mesa, that was not so big. I was never so prepared and yet the great little show ended up 1/3 the size since I went last time. Very little innovation and the new rods all looked like something that was trying to be eye catching and not well thought out. Id id run into my old boss from Orthodyne, we are all so old now.

I met the man who claims to make rods for River Monsters, Ok I did the same marketing too. I had Casey take my cart around  much easier than last year. People like my cart as much as my art. Should have taken more pictures but nothing inspiring. Wanted to meet the guy from Seeker rods but he did not show.
