Fred Hall Show

[Potato_River]

For those of you going to this show, you should read this email I got from Coastide.  You could win!!!  Unfortunately, I won't be attending the show.  Instead, I'll probably make it to the San Mateo ISE on 2/5.

Cheers,
Stuart

This is an important event that I am hopeful Every Coastsider Attends. Key Coastside Board Members will be there in attendance.  Coastside Fishing Club is going to be formally recognized at this event, so don't miss it.

Please make sure that you send your check on or before January 8th.

Also, please send an e-mail to coastsideevent@aol.com and let Don know you are coming and how many are attending (including all the names so we can put them on the will call list).  

One lucky Coastside attendee will be selected to win a Shimano Torium 30.

 

Coastside Merchandise
We will have plenty of Coastside Merchandise on hand as well, so those of you that have been looking for a hat, t-shirt, flag or bumper sticker, this is your chance.  We will have them at the booth inside for sale.

 

I sincerely hope I see you all at the show, and don't forget about the Anglers Caucus on Saturday Morning.

So what is the plan guys? Are we going to try to picka  day and meetup? I think weekdays will pretty much be out of the question for me but weekends are a go.

[kickfish]

I can go that weekend.  Sat or Sun.  It does not matter.

[Mooch]

I'm only good for a Saturday.

[Bill]

Saturday works for me! What time?

[promethean_spark]

sat's good

Bob and I plan on hitting the Fred Hall show Friday afternoon to take advantage of the smaller crowds and 1/2 price coupons.  Let us know if you can make it, so we can all hook up.

Last year, I went to both the ISE (San Mateo) and the Fred Hall (Cow Palace) show.  Both were fun, but personally, I thought the Fred Hall show was better suited for kayakfishing interests and shopping for deals.

[cpyak]

i won $200 from coastside last night!

[kickfish]

One dollar off coupon for Sat/Sun or $3 off for Today (Fri).  in the SJ Mercury News (Eye section) in today's paper.

$1 is like getting one slip of beer for free.  Or, in Joel or Bill case one slip of soda pop.

Ken

[Hat Trick]

i think joel drinks arbor mist, maybe some wine coolers.

[Mooch]

joel drinks smirnoff ice.......

$1 is like getting one slip of beer for free

...or getting a lap dance from a baboon   .....not that I've tired it

Went Weds and spent time checking the show between some seminars. The Doink Method and Hippo's Live Bait were real good. Pass on Baja Bev's and Light line techniques for rockfish.
Only one kayak rep this year and it seemed like the only people selling stuff was Hi' and Oakland Pro shop. Not very many samples going around like last year IMHO.

[Mooch]

Elric - was there a seminar on Sturgeon fishing by Keith Fraser?
I was also wondering if the Cuanang Brothers were hosting a seminar as well.....

[kickfish]

Usually, the shows do not get going until Fri. night.  durning the week it is slow and half the vendors have not shown up yet.  This applies for the San Mateo Show, also.

You can see the schedule by going to fredhall.com. The lecturers only have a few minutes to get their info out. So if it sounds like old stuff, get up and look around.
BTW, the doink/free tackle give away they gave away an albacore bag + $100 in goodies. He asked the audience what was his biggest world record yellow tail (75lbs).
So listen intently.
