I arrived at the Portland Sportsman Show about 10:30 this morning & was surprized to see a long line of cars, trucks going into the parking area. After parking at the north side I was in another line of people getting tickets & waiting for the doors to open at 11:00. I think there was something for everyone, I looked at a lot of new boats, but I think I will have to put up with my old one another year. There was a lot of guides & outfitters, & a lot of fishing equipment, tackle. I think  the prices on a lot of the stuff was pretty much the same as a regular sale day at most of the larger stores.

After spending about 41/2 hours going thru the show I decided it was time to head for home. I did enjoy the show so if you are going try to plan plenty of time to see it all..................Kokonuts

Thanks for the update KoKo.  I might make it out there one day this weekend.  Might not make it again this year if I "have" to fish.
