Hall show - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

This Hall Show was only a shadow of the former shows. It's about time for Bart and family to ride off into the sunset.

There weren't very many fishing vendors and the ones that were there, were in booths much small than normal. Shimano and other major players were not in attendance. Turners, Islands Tackle and Bob Sands were the major retail vendors that were there.
One of the major sunglass vendors said that Friday was one of the worst show days ever, he said that he sold only one pair of glasses on Friday. One of the major vendors (who will remain unnamed) said that Friday was the worst sales they've ever had at a Hall show.
$15 to park and $25 for a ticket = $40 Not worth it in MHO.
No kayaks and some boats but they were all in the main hall along the wall as "filler", and the "airwall" was up to divide the main hall into a smaller area.

Save your money and go to the OC PCS Show, We'll see you there
