Eh, any of you Hawaii Locals going to the Hawaii Ocean Expo?
http://hawaiioceanexpo.com/
Can you guys put up your reports?
Alan and I would like to partner with a local shop to do some reel maintenance and/or have discussions about reel maintenance. We want to make sure that it would be worth our time, money, and energy to do the event. Yes, partnering is need. I know, 'cause I'm local. Don't want to overstep. You locals know what I mean.
Many talk about the Seafood Expo at Pier 38, but in talking with some friends, this may not be a good venue, but will consider based upon the reports.
What you guys think will matter in our decisions to attend.
Mahalos,
Bryan

I'll be there with the family and friends. Always a good time. A lot of things for the kids to do and a lot of tackle, gear, and equipment to examine and buy. Delicious food and clothes for our women. My first time fishing this tournament, so hopefully, I get hook-up (literlally means tightened or fasten).
Cool. Thanks
perfect translation bryan
If you guys keep it up, Dominick and I will start using the sicilian dialect that not even the italians will understand it. ;D ;D
