Looks like we're starting to tilt toward the Northeast, maybe up around Fridley, Blaine. Kind of a haul for some of you guys but lets keep this moving.
Dates - I'm thinking maybe something like the 14th or 15th. Weekend after Easter. The weekend after might work too. Just looking for time and place that works for as many as possible.

How about some of you other guys who were interested at one time, Walkingstick3, Lentz, Bobby, FireRanger, Prosupermag? Anyone else?

DDS why don't you have your people talk to their people, and see if they could handle an event of this magnitude. After all we don't want to start a riot.

    When we set the date I will get us the VIP room.  :happy1:  For the time I would suggest 10 am or 2 pm.  You never know how busy the lunch crowd will be on a weekend.

Saturday is out for me I have to be open at my store, Sunday work, I all so think that some of us could car pool like me and ray634 from Brainerd or for who else that want to come form the lake area, split the cost of gas, If this  :help: some one that can not go because of that,

If there are some that is wanting to see some of my fur hat or what not let me know I could bring some

   It's definitely a trip for you. I don't think I would do it if I was you.  :sorry:  If there is anything you are looking for I could get it for you and bring it out this summer.

Best wishes to you and yours Rod man.
 I realize this is a live in person flea market atmosphere get together but is it also possible to do online trading as well? I hate to see someone miss out because of proximity.

   I spoke with The Bonfire staff.  Sat. open is 11 am.  Sunday open is 10am.  If Either of these days work we could probably get the back room if needed.  If it's only four of us any table would do.  Also if anyone is looking for certain types of tackle let me know.  Worms, weights, swimbaits, jigs, ect.

G o t   T a c k l e ?

I'm still interested and either day would work for me, with maybe a slight preference for Saturday. Weather looks kind of crummy both days so probably won't get out fishing.

Instead of calling this a tackle swap maybe we should be calling it a tackle garage sale (with beer). And I see no reason why it should not  include other related items like rods, reels, camping gear, ice fishing gear, etc. etc. And you can swap stuff, you can buy stuff, swap wives for tackle, whatever works for you.

    Let's go with Sat. (tomorrow) at 2pm Bonfire in Blaine.  35w and Lexington.  If someone has a small camping cot I might  be interested.

  I am glad we are starting this out small to test the waters and get to know each other first.
 Are you talking same room, soft or full swap Doug?

Dear Ken. As I am new to swapping, not sure what the difference is between soft or full swap.  ;D
I look forward to learning more.

Sorry to hear you guys can't make it.

Perhaps someday DDS can travel the state, swapping tackle and filling cavities. Travel to far away places like Perham and Brainerd, heck maybe even Mankato. I would be happy to assist with driving, and just maybe with a little training, I could assist him by handing him his little dental tools - at precisely the right moment - as needed of course...
