    I went a couple of years ago, plan to go again this year, weather permitting. I think its a good show. Sherm's Marine will have 3-4 new Cats there, including the new Lynx. There are some decent tackle displays, plus there are the seminars. I'd like to meet Bill Lowen, Zona, I could take or leave him.

    Met Zona at the Honey Creek Tackle (in Bargarsville) show earlier this year. Talked with everyone he possibly could in the short amount of time he was there. Great guy. He alone is worth going IMO.

    Bill, when is the show? Admission fee? or just let me know a website to look at. Thanks!

    Thanks Bill

    Little over an hour drive for me. Might make it up there if I don't go south that weekend.
    Here's the website I got tracked down: http://www.wildindianaexpo.net/

    I've gone the past few years...its about an hour for me. Not a ton of stuff, but a fun way to kill a day in the dregs of winter. Sherms had a great set up last year, and Ivan from BCB was there as well. Kind of considering doing the Bass University thing to further stave off winter...

    I'm driving down from PA with my son, he is setting up as vendor. Here's the vendor list. I'll attach a link to their FB page also as it has a little more info about times and such. We have never been but heard good things about the show and they have a pretty nice list of speakers.

    My parents and I went to Anchor Inn Resort in Minnesota years ago. Great memories of that place.
    If the weather cooperates, might be making the trip for them alone.

    Bill, good to finally put a face with the username.
    Sorry I didn't hang around long, but the little man was on a mission to hang out in boats

    Brad, it was great to meet you. Wish you could have stayed around longer. Hope to meet up again some time.

    I am from the Brookville lake area and have fished against Bill Lowen in the Frames Wednesday night Bass rodeo. And he is a good guy. You could not tell him apart from the rest of us "weekend anglers" very doen to earth.

    I finally got to talk to Bill Lowen at the Kokomo show. He is a really nice guy, like you said, he is very down to earth. I keep hoping I'll see him on Brookville Lake, but I doubt he has the time to fish there very often anymore. Actually Ike was down to earth as well, spent a few minutes talking to him.

    I also ran into Bill on Whitewater last year on a Sunday morning. Had to go past each other going down the bank fishing. Didnt get a chance to talk this time.
