For some folks being in two places at the same time is impossible; for staffers from The Fisherman Magazine, we’ve got you covered three times in this weekend ahead
For starters, the New Jersey Boat Sale & Expo kicks off on February 16 at the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center in Edison, running through Sunday, February 19. Seminars presented by The Fisherman begin on day one with Jim Hutchinson, Jr. at 2 p.m. (Fishing For Stripers), followed by Saltwater Underground’s Nick Honachefsky at 3:30 p.m. (Jersey Exotics) and Aaron Held from Octopus Yachts at 5 p.m. (Trolling Motors – Layout & Installation). There are eight more seminars scheduled from Friday through Sunday, including a “Super Saturday” lineup covering everything from bluefin tuna to lobstering on the wrecks.

Show hours are Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Adult admission is $15, with kids 16 and younger admitted free (when accompanied by an adult).

The Fisherman Magazine is also presenting the entire weekend seminar lineup once again at the Philadelphia Fishing Show opening on Friday, February 17 at noon and running through Sunday, February 19 at 5 p.m. at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA.
A total of 46 different seminars and workshops were presented by The Fisherman at last year’s Philly Fishing Show covering a wide variety of fresh and saltwater topics running three consecutive days. See the full Philadelphia Fishing Show seminar lineup.
Philadelphia Fishing Show admission is $12 for adults, kids ages 6 to 12 are $6, and kids 5 and under are as free as the parking. The show is open Friday from noon to 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Look for The Fisherman’s booth as soon as you walk through the front door of the show.

Finally, while not the presenting sponsor of the seminars, don’t miss The Fisherman’s resident surfcasting editor Matt Broderick as he plugs his way to the front of the seminar stage on February 18 at Surf Day, presented by the Jersey Shore Surfcasters at Brookdale Community College at 765 Newman Springs Road in Lincroft, NJ. Other speakers include John Skinner, George Bucci, Bill Wetzel, Bill Sistad and more. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. with a $10 admission price (discounted for veterans).
