We’re going to the Fred Hall Show, the nation’s largest consumer fishing show!

Erik, boat plugging and jigging enthusiast of @fishoahu Instagram fame, and I will be attending the 72st Annual Long Beach Fred Hall Show from March 8 – 11.  The show is geared towards West Coast fishing, but there will be a lot of products and techniques we could apply to fishing in Hawaii.

I used to attend this fishing expo when I lived in SoCal, and it would take me 3 hrs just to walk past every booth not including the time to stop and buy stuff, and attend demos.  I hear it’s a lot bigger than the last time I attended.  Here are some of the highlights we’re interested in, taken off the Fred Hall website :

  • The world’s Largest Sportfishing Show
  • California’s Largest Boat Show
  • So. Cal.’s largest international hunting and fishing travel show
  • Nearly 1000 booths
  • Acres of Boats
  • Nearly 400 seminars
  • Accurate Fishing Saltwater Tank
  • Cousins Tackle Main Seminar Stage
  • Largest Marine Electronics Display in California
  • Izorline Fishing Coach
  • Hobie Kayak Fishing Seminar Theater
  • Test Drive Hobie Mirage Drive Kayaks and Eclipse Pedal Boards on the Hyatt Regency Lagoon
  • Cast new products at the Daiwa Casting range on the Hyatt Regency Lagoon

Besides checking out the latest fishing gear at discounted show prices, I’m interested in taking in the expert seminars, trying the Hobie pedal kayaks on the water and learning more about the Mexican fishing resorts which offer types of fishing similar to what we do in Hawaii but have a lot more fish to target.

In addition to those topics, Erik is keen on checking out the latest boats and diving gear.

We’re also hoping to attract sponsors to help move Hawaii Nearshore Fishing forward.

Erik will try to do frequent updates via Instagram, and I’ll try to do the same on this website.  Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss a thing.
