As the 2026 winter show season winds down and spring striper season heats up, time to gather your gear at the Saltwater Fishing Expo! This Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Edison, renew your membership with The Fisherman at booth 461 or get a new subscription, and you’ll receive Danco’s 7-inch Fish Species pliers. Made from lightweight aluminum with a corrosion-resistant anodized coating, these $25-$30 pliers feature replaceable tungsten-carbide side or center cutters capable of cutting braid and we’re giving one each to the first 700 Fisherman subscriptions this weekend; also while supplies last, you’ll get a free bag of FishBites when you take your subscription receipt to the FishBites booth 617. Finally, on Saturday if you’re one of the first 150 new or renewing subscribers on the day at our booth 461 you’ll also receive either the 10″ Rattling Jig Tail or 5-1/2-inch Sterling Cedar Flex Stinger from Sterling Tackle. The latest reports on stripers, winter flounder and white perch, sea bass options up for a vote on March 26, plus “shad watch 2026” with our Pocono Outdoors guy.
