The Springfield Sportsmen’s Show is undisputedly the largest “pure” sportsmen’s show in the Northeast! This mega sporting event takes place at the Eastern States Exposition, home of the BIG E in West Springfield, Massachusetts. The show includes the best of hunting, fishing, boating and adventure recreation that the outdoor world has to offer all bundled together in one great event. You’ll find everything you need for your next trip.
You can find The Fisherman Magazine at our usual spot, booth #406 in the Better Living Center, so be sure to stop by to say “Hi” and take advantage of our great free offers to go along with all of your subscription needs.
One of the big draws at this show every year is the awesome list of seminar speakers and subject, and 2018 is no exception. There is a list of excellent speakers covering a wide variety of topics for both fresh and saltwater anglers including the following:
David Pickering, the “Carp King.” Dave is the go-to expert when it comes to carp fishing. Most fishermen have no idea that huge carp of 20, 30 and even 40 pounds are swimming around in many of the lakes and rivers of southern New England in good numbers just waiting to be caught. In his seminar, “Targeting Large Carp,” Dave will discuss strategies and various topics related to fishing for trophy carp. Be sure to catch David Pickering at this year’s show!
For the kayak anglers, Derek Williams and Jose Negron will be presenting a pair of exciting topics. Jose will be presenting, “The Power of Sonar: Catch More Fish from Your Kayak,” on Friday, February 23rd in Seminar Room B. Derek will be in Seminar Room A on Saturday, February 24th. Be sure to attend his seminar: “Catch Monster Striped Bass from a Kayak!” Attend them both and learn how to get more fish in your net and have fun doing it.
Do you love catching Trophy Bass? Bass Pro angler Skip Bryant does and he‘s here to share his knowledge, techniques, and tips on how to get the lunkers in your net. Come to the show and meet Skip Bryant in person. You’ll learn all about the fishing techniques he uses while at his favorite locations on the waters throughout New England.
