The vendor list is pretty outrageous and the seminars and the group format are really informative.
Should be a good show...Bill has been doing a bigger and better show each year. :you_rock:

I was there and agree with Jim.

It is now called Bart Hall Show.

I think there were only three food vendors--two of them hotdog stands.

I went to both the Long Beach one (manned the CCA booth) and the Del Mar version. Long beach was blah and slow, Del Mar had very few tackle vendors, lots of boats though. I'll probably hit up the PCS show.

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 (https://cannacraftcorner.com) 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.
