Look for the guy selling all the used fishing gear!
You have been to day at docks before I'm sure. Its not that f ing big. Just ask the person in the booth if his name is John, if so ur in the right place.You can also call him in advance (his # is posted) to ask him for gps coordinates. Hope this helps! I'll be on the boats and at the seminars asking questions and learning new concepts.
Good luck finding that special rod amd reel.
