CMTA Hartford Boat and Fishing Show

For my birthday in January, I'm hoping to go to the Connecticut Marine Trade Association (CMTA) Hartford Boat and Fishing Show. Held at the Connecticut Convention Center January 24 - 27, 2008, this show also includes seminars. On Saturday and Sunday, there are sessions that provide instruction on fishing from kayaks (which I did on Oscaleta Lake in NY). There is another for catching monster bass using tubes and worms. Now the latter topic might not seem enticing to a lot of people, but the idea of kayaking with someone and fishing simultaneously would be a lot of fun!

Admission is $12.00 for this event. The list of exhibitors has not yet been posted, but stay tuned. You're bound to see Grady White, Boston Whaler, Evinrude, Mercury, and more. How much fun will it be to attend a boating and fishing event in the middle of the winter! Warms my fuzzy little heart!
