Lexington Boat Show

[WacoWildcat]

I just got back from Lex. boat show and it was pretty good. Looks like Backwaters is putting on an awesome TX at Herrington. Top Dawg Match Fishing with a with a big purse. Format is similar to UMF. They had a booth set up with some good tackle out there. Saddlebrook outdoors also had a pretty good selection of stuff. Zoom plastics for 2 bucks with some good colors and baits.

Some nice boats to druel over up there as well. They had a decked out Ranger with the nightfishion system . My 3 yr old son caught a trout out of the tank and they also had a lumberjack show. Pretty good time.

Guys, I know what you're talking about when you say it's the same old same old. I worked for Lexington Center for 8+ years. The show is about 90% the same every year. I agree with you and think there is room for improvement. I also think the show could reinvent itself from year to year and incorporate new booths, products, etc. Turning it into more of a fishing seminar show with lots of product would make us all happy!

Now for reality... The show sells booth space and they sell out every year. The big "show money" comes from the vendors, not from the folks paying to get in the door. That's the bottom line. This said, if you're the show promoter and you're filling booths, why change???
