The Fisherman Magazine’s annual Fishing Tackle and Seminar show will be held on Thursday, September 21 at 6 p.m. at the Huntington Hilton, 598 Broadhollow Road in Melville, NY. The annual “Fisherman Show” on Long Island will cover inshore and offshore fishing as well as Northeast surfcasting which is what the event has traditionally spotlighted over the years.
Free with your admission is a seat at nine exclusive seminars from some of the region’s top fishing authorities covering surf, offshore, light tackle, inshore and travel, featuring Alberto Knie, Capt. John Paduano, Bill Wetzel, Comanche Surfcasting, and Chris Parisi, along with presenting staffers from The Fisherman including Jenni Ackerman, Dave Anderson, Matt Broderick and Jim Hutchinson.
On the show floor you’ll find over a hundred tables featuring local shops, plug makers, organizations, groups, clothing companies and national manufacturers. It’s a great place to pick up some new gear while also checking out what’s in the pipeline for 2024 release. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event will run through 11 p.m.
The first 500 attendees through the door will receive a goody bag filled with tackle, along with a raffle ticket for great prizes; the earlier you arrive, the more variety you’ll find in your goody bag (see our full-page ad in this issue to see what’s included in the bags). Goody bag sponsors include Super Strike Lures, Spro, Gamakatsu, NLBN, Tsunami, Yo-Zuri, Fat Cow, Owner Hooks, Al Gags Lures, Fishbites, BKK and more. Also this year the first 200 people through the door get a chance to win one of two Tsunami Salt X Surf Tops being given away.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for children 16 and under. For more information call 631-345-5200 or visit TheFisherman.com.
