Fred Hall March 24

Yep, I've got the date on my calendar. It's been a LONG time since I've been to the show, the last time was when I built fishing boats and we took our product to the show.

Question to those who have been to the show in the last few years - do all the local vendors usually have booths there (including OEX)? It sure is nice to see all the products up close and personal without having to go from store to store.

Prices? If I'm in the market for some accessories, but not in a real hurry, is it worth waiting for the show?

Lots of local vendors are at the show, including OEX! Some awsome deals on accessories. If your not in a hurry, like you mentioned, I'd wait.

Maybe it was due to the economy but last year's Del Mar show was not very impressive compared to previous years.

Yes to your questions. OEX will probably have a really big display going, they did last year. I thought they also had quite a bit of accessories with good prices. Last year I took in a great seminar by Jim Sammons about catching big fish on a Kayak, that was really informative. Some will say the show doesn't have what it use to and some of the prices are high, but there are great deals to be had if you look and keep an open mind.

Is the March 24th date for here in Del Mar? Usually the Long Beach show is at the beginning of March. I've wanted to make the journey north to see that one. I may see if my dad wants to head up there.

You can count on OEX being at ISE in Phoenix, Fred Hall Long Beach, and Fred Hall Del Mar this year. We should have our Large as usual Fred Hall display. ISE will be considerably smaller due to the drive.

I thought your display was much bigger last year than in years prior.
