In addition to the Wildwood Fishing & Boating Expo from January 10-12 and the New York Boat Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan from January 22-26, you’ll also find a host of one-day fishing flea markets in the tristate region from January through March which we’ll continually list all winter long in our Calendar of Events.
