Thanks!

 The sponsors and exhibitors would like to thank everyone who attended the 2010 show for making this year's show one of the most successful saltwater fishing shows in the country.

The lucky winners of the raffles are:

SEMINARS!  SEMINARS!  SEMINARS!

      There will be dozens of seminars with an all-star lineup of regional talent that will keep any fishing enthusiast busy for many hours. See the new Rhode Island record 76 lb. 14oz. Striped Bass, the largest skin mount striper ever done. 

     "Anglers can easily spend a whole day at the show," said Mike Warner, one of the show committee members. "They should plan to arrive early, attend a couple of seminars, visit the tackle dealers, take a break by attending another seminar, then head back into the show."

 The show has drawn exhibitors from all over New England, and nearly every major manufacturer is sending their reps.  "Last year the show was a sellout, and we had a waiting list of dealers who wanted to get in," said RISAA President Steve Medeiros.  "It looks like the 2009 show will be the same."
