Great Pacific Salmon Lodge will be there!!!!

Well with some last minute scrambling and some well placed connections, we have managed to secure space at the Edmonton Sportsmen show.

I have always wanted to see this show and now after all these years of hearing how great it was we get the chance to attended as a company.

It's a fantastic chance to yet again meet some new friends from A/O and to say Hi to some old friends. Please stop by the booth and introduce yourself.

This will give us all a chance to sit around and tell fishing story's from years past and to book your adventure with Great Pacific Salmon Lodge for the upcoming season.

We are Prince Rupert's ONLY Salmon Lodge and cant wait to share our passion with you.


The best way to enjoy any Salmon trip is to stay at a Lodge. Especially one located right between 2 of the 3 largest Salmon returning rivers in all of BC. Let us take care of you. NO cabs, NO looking for a restaurant, NO staying in a motel, NO wondering what your going to do with your fish, NO early morning trips to the 7-11 to get snacks for the day, NO worries! Just Great fishing followed by a Great stay at Great Pacific Salmon Lodge.

The fishing is OUTSTANDING in the Prince Rupert area. It's something everyone must experience to believe. Lets get you booked in for this summer.

Thanks

I want to see if mantracker is shallow... he probably doesn't even remember my wifes name after he grabbed her @$$ last time he was in Grande Cache...

We were at a local restaraunt, and he was eating... we asked for a picture with him after he was done eating. My buddy was on the left, and next to him was his fiancee, then mantracker, then my wife, then me... he had a hold of both of their butts... I cought him, but how many people get to tell a story like that, so I left it be.

03-13-2012, 12:31 PM
keep an eye out for 6'8'' of goofy walkling around, and you will find Kronky

They need AOF name tags available at the door so we can put some faces to some names, possibly have some scraps, and the likes.

I'm going all day today(friday), 2 of my kidlets are in the NASP provincials. I should be wearing a black cap with chain links on it that say Tercan on the front. Might see me hanging around the Tige' boats harassing 07icanam.

Jamie Black R/T
03-16-2012, 08:24 AM
Was there last night....was nice and quiet compared to the weekend crowd.

Met up with a couple AO regulars and may have even been talked into a fishing trip with a certain, blurry pictured, alaskan bear killer. :scared0018:

Was fun watching various guys approach Eva shockey and lay it down then walk away with a big smile on their faces LOL

That girl has some serious earning potential in this industry.

The replica of the robbins buck was awesome to see in person too....that thing is disgusting in all the right ways.

03-16-2012, 08:30 AM
I agree Thursday is the day if you want to beat the crowds. Was pretty quiet last night. It amazes me the money that people drop on boats....my Aunt and Uncle sell boats, they sold 4 Pontoon boats and several performance ski-boats last night alone! Prices range from $50k -$100k.....if only :)

Hey Bard,
When you find the Scotty Booth you should meet a huge guy with short Black hair named Eric.
Let him know I am trying to help you out and he will likely take good care of you. Even though I run almost 20 of their Downriggers and Sell thier products in our shop, Scotty really takes care of people.

Hope this helps.

Second day is just underway, plenty of great conversations and more than a few guys wanting to drop deposits in order to come fish and stay with us.
Very nice complement I must say.

Thanks to all the A/O members who dropped by yesterday. It's nice being right behind the A/O booth. Lots of people stopping by.

Make sure you ask about the A/O special.

03-17-2012, 08:48 PM
Well.. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be.

I met up again with Rob Miskosky and Richard Melon. finally.... Got to met T.J. Face to face... Previous shows he was always busy or doing a show. also met Jaimie for the first time, and Big Bull.

I think Jaimie almost had me talked into booking a trip. I think I definitely will In the future.

he replica of Cody Robins world record is impressive. i was going to say hi and shake his and Kelsey Claypool's hand... But they were busy. told myself i would come back after i checked out Barton's, but they had left for a dinner meeting...oh well maybe at Huntfest.

I don't see what the big hype was with Eva Shockey. Sure you wouldn't kick her out of bed for getting crumbs in the sheets, but holy..... Hot dogs circling like buzzards. And near the end of the show... i was going to say hi to RockymtnX.... But he was hovering the Eva Shockey booth like a fly on s**t. Haha. Thought I'd leave him alone to strut his stuff at her booth.

Only things i bought were mini donuts, a Live2Hunt t-shirt/DVD/ and window decal............and finally bought a Cutco Knife ....so looking forward to putting it to the text this upcoming season. Barton's had nothing I was interested in.

Also entered quite a few draws for Quads and Guns.

is anyone noticing its getting smaller every year in the hunting and fishing for actual gear? instead the retreats and crap is getting bigger and bigger, i was in a out within 2 hours today, left at noon, the ao booth was dead when i was there, sounds like it got a whole lot busier after noon, oh well.

i was hopeing for more new this year, but its just the same, not to mention all the boats, pontoon and them wake boats, the fishing boats were few and far between, i know there were lots but when a sales man wont even try to help and steer you to a damn wake boat i seriously wanted to yelled at them and tell em to make a sale you have to cater to the customer instead of to your salary.

overall im going to skip the next year or 5.

TBark
03-17-2012, 09:13 PM
Pretty good show. Spent only about $800 ha, not bad actually.
Ft Sask F&G membership, muck boots & sox, tickets on a whack of stuff, and went for the Celestron Granite ED's 10 x 42 bino's, Surprising clear optics. I would compare them to the non HD Viper, wish I could afford a Razor HD, but these will do me just fine.

Ya I wasn't impressed with the amount of actual gear they had available. I think wholesale sports was the only place that carried fishing rods with the exception of the fly rods at the demo. Also I think there was only one maybe two booths that I could find
bipods, but I was busy so I didnt get a chance to look at all the booths fully

What a fantastic day!!!
Nothing but talking Salmon with person after person. 10 hours just flew by.

I met with so many A/O guys, I lost count. It never fails to amaze me what a great bunch of people are on this board. We all really do need to have a get together.

Show was busy today and I expect the same on Sunday. Now I just need to find away to get a booth at the fishing hole show next weekend

Please stop by tomorrow and say hi, it's always great to talk with people from the board.

Btw, did I mention that I met rockymtnx parents..... Great people, I wonder if rocky was adopted?????
Lolololol

See the rest of you tomorrow.

Jamie

Btw, I must say I really did appreciate all the guys stopping by. The great things and interest you all showed in our company was fantastic.
Bib bore.... You are coming fishing.... Start packing. Lolollolol

Was there Friday night, would have stopped to talk at the AO booth, but they were mighty busy. Picked up a whack of raffle tickets, drooled over lots of boats and atv's. Worth the trip in, especially if they pull my ticket on any of the draws I supported.

For me, its seeing all the guys and gals I have come to know over the years.

Got to talk to many AO members too.. Happy I joined this forum as it has given me the chance to meet some fantastic people.

As far as hunting gear and stuff, its a good show. Everyone tries hard. I appreciate it.

before today I had never been to a how this size and it was fun to be apart of.

couldn't be leave evas both was empty when I got to it (i was there early) had a great talk with the girls got a T-shirt and a picture with them, I look nervous as hell for some reason :thinking-006:

In the gear department I felt kinda let down the only thing on the list I was able to cross off was a map pack for my GPS. I ended up going to Cabelas because I was in town and got a few other things crossed off.

well at Cabelas my visa acidently :scared: fell through the till at the gun counter I was looking for a TC .223 but seeing how they only had it in snow camo I allowed my self to be talked into a savage axis... IDK time will tell I guess :budo:

Well, I tried making it out. Got as far as getting to Edmonton. My Inlaws came from prince George to see WEM. My father in law was stoked to go to. That plan didn't mesh up to my overbearing mother in laws second by second itinerary. :angry3: I wish there was a smiley that was even more upset then this guy to show how I am feeling about this.

Ahhhhhhh
Home and in my own bed. Nice steam and unpacked.
Nice to be back. Looks like we might hit the fishing show next weekend.
How's that show?
As for Ed's outdoor show, much busier and bigger than calgarys.
Good show all the way around. We will be back next year.
