Has anyone attended this show before and how does it compare to the Fred Hall Show? Will Team Sewer be there to tomorrow to share some Halibut fishing tips? Jorge/Tony, if you show up I will buy you a cold one!:cheers1:ee

Is this the one at the OC Fairgrounds?

If so, there is no comparison. Very small and not worth the money.

They did have a kayak for raffle. That was good, but you have to be there.

It's a very small show...I was at the PCS Festival yesterday with the CCA CAL and we'll be there today and tomorrow. It is a VERY SMALL show... you can see all the booths in about 45min.
Team Sewer will not be performing...oops...I mean speaking at a seminar at this venue...not a big enough audience for their liking...!:notworthy:
It's a pimple on the big bears butt...if you compare the Fred Hall Shows to this little event.
A lot of the vendors were pretty sad at the end of the day as it was really slow with all that rain yesterday. Hopefully they will pick up a few sales today.
There is a kayak seminar at 2pm given by Mike Ponce and Corey Boyer...:rolleyes:

Just got back from the festival and yes it's a small event, but the due to the low turn out there is very good deals/discounts. We were greeted with pastries and a voucher for a free Ballastpoint Large Beer which covered the entrance fee. Mostly local shops and willing to make a deal. 15% off on Phenix rods and Hobie products. Also 20% off on Avet reels.

Just got back too. Picked up a Phenix rod (15% off plus free shirt) and got some Ahi jigs --buy 3 get 1 free.

Also parking is $8 in the lot, but you can park for free on the street (Arlington) by Tewinkle Park.

My buddy picked up a Phenix rod and T-Shirt as well. I believe the Fisherman Access Booth had the best overall pricing and discounts. They also offered Shimano Teramar rods for 15% off. I picked up a Hobie Livewell XL for 15% off from the only Kayak booth. Good deals all around.
