The show season is officially underway, and that includes a full complement of fishing flea markets throughout the tristate area. If your club, school or organization has scheduled a winter fishing event, contact [email protected] to see it listed in our monthly calendar of events.
The Garden State fishing flea market season gets off to an early start this month with the New Jersey Beach Buggy Association’s (NJBBA) “Pete D’Alessio Memorial” event on January 7, co-sponsored by the Toms River South High School Fishing Club.

There’s a special $8 “early bird” admission starting at 8 a.m., but it’s just $4 after 9 a.m. and kids under 12 are admitted free. For more info visit njbba.org.
