ISE 2017, Sacramento Jan 19-22 Cal Expo - Who's going/staffing/presenting?

I am getting pretty excited about ISE, since it looks like the kayak fishing community will have a YUGE presence this year.

So who's going? Who's presenting?

Uminchu, Clayman, SuperVato and some tool named Adam Loens (sp?) will be presenting and hanging out at the Kayak City booth. We will talk about how to catch really really really big fish from a kayak, and I think Clayman is going to talk about how to catch monster trout WITHOUT TROLLING  The booth is gonna be big this year, 1800sq ft big, and they will have some killer deals. I have never heard or him, but some guy named Jim Sammons will be there too.

Adult Admission - $17.00
Youth under 16 - Free!
It looks like you can get coupons at Big O Tires, Oreilllys, & Togos. Alternately, you can go to the website and sign up  for a promo code. You could also try to blag your way in, jump the fence, or dig a tunnel.

Thu..   11am - 8pm
Fri...   11am - 8pm
Sat..   10am - 7pm
Sun..   10am - 5pm

From the events calendar it looks like NCKA will be well represented. Luminary Craig Davis and Eric Sowa will be presenting for the Ocean Kayak team, as will Chuckee for Hobie. RacinRob will be there for Wilderness Systems (will the new WS peddle drive be on display?!). BMB is going to tell us what's new with Native Watercraft kayaks, because he would rather talk about kayaks than fishing  Biobill has an ambitious presentation schedule on various kayak fly fishing topics.

So, who's going? Where will you be hanging out?

Wilderness Systems will have the complete 2017 line up in our own booth sponsored by Adventure sports. It will be located right next to the Adventure Sports booth.

Looking forward to this event. Last year the kayak section was sweet but a little on the small side.

I didn't go last year but will try to be there this year.

    This will be my first year.    Will have the 2017 Raptor G2 on display at  Headwaters Kayaks booth.

Hope to see you there.

I'll be hanging around headwaters as well on Fri/Sat.  probably also going to take a walk around the show when i get a chance, most likely friday morning.

Wondering if its worth it to wait for the ISE before buying REVO 13. Do you think they will have discounted prices or is even hobie will be there? The last time I went to ISE was during San Mateo days. Thanks

I don't know. Give them a call.

I'm going!
Wonder how Clayman will handle the big city?   
That tool "Loons" could be interesting too....

I know a few NCKA guys have purchased the day off, they usually have some kind of deal going on.

Wonder how Clayman will handle the big city?   

That's me on the pole, the last time I visited the city:


This will be my first ISE show and I'm really excited to see what it's all about!  I also look forward to giving a little seminar on kayak trout fishing methods that don't include trolling.  While I will get into the more technical aspects of jigging and mooching for trout, the main goal is to show new anglers that they don't need downriggers, leadcore, diving planers, etc to successfully catch trout from their kayaks.

And finally, I look forward to seeing a lot of new and familiar faces at the show!

I'll see you guys on Saturday.

I might go to this, sounds fun.
