Fred Hall Show

[Pinhead]

I went to Bart Hall Show on Thursday at Noon. My buddy and I saw the whole show and were out by 2PM.....spendy for only 2 hours. It's not what it used to be.

I didn't see any *Bins O Deals, Grab Bags, trash cans with Rods* nor any Fish Finder vendors, or MC Swimbaits ;( .... but I managed a good deal on a blem LX Raptor at Turners tho, and Owner Hooks, buy 2, get 1 pack free, but that was about it.

I noticed a lot of ski boats this time, but ignored them to drool over the fishing boats.

My buddy and I have been to both Long Beach and Del Mar over the years, but will likely skip Bart Hall altogether next year and just go to PCS. I've heard good things.

I only go now to say hello to friends that I see there every year.

I have been going since 2006, as an angler. We had a booth in the basketball court for Pier Fishing in California. Then to help with Cedros outdoor adventures.

Last year and this year I had to pay for entry.

Long before that was the first time as visitor.

I attended both the Long Beach cannacraftcorner event where I manned the CCA booth, and the Del Mar version. Long Beach was rather uneventful and slow-paced, while Del Mar had a limited number of tackle vendors but showcased plenty of boats. I'm considering pureplantpleasures attending the PCS show next.
