I'll be going to the San Diego show, I'm going to try and go the opening night, I did that once before and it was pretty cool, but many of the vendors were not all there yet. I'll check out the seminars and plan my trip around that. |

it's not a swap meet so don't expect tons of great deals. somethings like kayaks (hint, hint  ) there will be. if you are looking for one, there's some killer packages and what not. boats too. right now, the economy being what it is, boat dealers will pretty much be giving them away. lots of vendors will offer show specials and they're better than otherwise, but don't expect 1/2 avet's or anything. will be some vendor closeouts and overstock stuff. Big-5 will always run some good deals, as does turners. it's one of those "if you're in the market" things, then it is the best time to buy since you were going to anyways. usually there's some tie-ins with vendors and manufacturers, like berkeley gulp stuff. probably best time to books trips, to meet the crews and get tons of info. great seminars and the new product showcases are cool. I stock up on lead heads and plastics and such. best time to do that. there's a big booth somewhere in the middle, a few tables all laid out full of lead. can't be beat. a couple of other booths will have lots of low priced tackle and odds and ends, pliers, knives, etc. good stuff for beginners, backups, and throw in the back of the car things. always a time for me to meet up with friends I haven't seen in a while, BS a bit, all that. I bring the kids, get them excited to fish. grab plenty of stickers, and anything else you can grab for free.

I don't go to buy stuff - or have dinner there. $$$$
Because you can get great deals locally anyway and don't have to spend the $25 to Enter and Park. I go to see my friends - to support the OEX guys - and all the other BWE guys that have a booth. Sometimes there is a unique rod, or tool that may catch my eye - maybe then I buy it. ----------------------------------------------- Be Advised... If you join United Anglers at the front door your admission to Fred Hall is FREE and you will be helping them Fight The Corrupt .... No Good Rat B@stards that have taken away YOUR Fishing Grounds ! Its Lawsuit MONEY well spent !
