The Fisherman Magazine’s giant Fishing Tackle and Seminar show will once again be held at the Huntington Hilton Thursday, at 4 p.m., September 17th (598 Broadhollow Rd., Melville, NY). The 2026 show will be covering inshore and offshore and Northeast surfcasting.
Free with admission is a chance to chat one on one with Long Island’s greatest fishing authorities covering surf, offshore, light tackle, inshore and travel. Learn from the best anglers in the authority angler hallway. One on one tables include Bill Wetzel, Matt Broderick, Capt. John Paduano, John Skinner, Pete Utschig from Phase Gear, Alberto Knie, John Raguso, Mark Malinowski, Billy The Greek, River Bay Outfitters and a table of three former dreamboat winners.
On the show floor you will come across over a hundred tables that will feature 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 2027 release.
Doors open at 4 p.m. this year, an hour earlier than last year’s event and will run through 10 p.m. The first 600 attendees through the door will receive a goody bag filled with tackle, along with a raffle ticket that can win you some great prizes at the big raffle during the night; the earlier you arrive, the more variety you’ll find in your goody bag. The goody bag sponsors this year include: Yo-Zuri, Mustad Hooks, Berkley Gulp, Game On Lures, UFSHN Bucktails, Seaguar, Majorcraft and Montauk Lures, Tickets are $20 for adults; $15 for children 16 and under.
