Got Tackle? Check out the Wisconsin Fishing Club Rummage Sale The Alliant Energy Center was really hopping this afternoon on Day One of the Madison Fishing Expo. Many old friends and a few new ones stopped by our booth to say hello, taste some fried panfish and check out the Fillet King, Board Stor, Sling-It, Big Guy Hats and other products. Quite a few bought raffle tickets for the Crestliner Canadian with a Mercury 4-stroke we will be giving away three weeks from now. One visitor was Chris Hauser, who dropped off a flier for the Wisconsin Fishing Club's 4th annual rummage sale, to be held next Saturday, March 4, at Calhoun Station (That's a tavern.), 1849 So. Calhoun Rd., New Berlin, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Members will offer fishing and sporting equipment for sale, and Hauser will do free fishing lure and tackle appraisals.
