The big Great American Outdoor Show is less than a month away.https://www.greatamericanoutdoorshow.org/ Run by the NRA, its a huge show with everything from fishing equipment and boats to Africa safaris and Amazon hunting and fishing trips. Its the one big show I look forward to every year. Anybody else going. Can't wait for the hall of guns. Almost every firearms manufacturer in the world is represented at this show. 

I've been a couple times and it's HUGE! I'm not a hunter and to be honest I found the Fishing Hall to be a little underwhelming. But two years ago I watched Jeff Kriet and Bobby Uhrig give seminars in the Hawg Tank and that was fun.

Used to go every year, but freshwater fishing items went way down. Not worth the time for me anymore

Another one that went every year until they banned all black guns. Then I went once since it's been run by the NRA, and it's just not the same. Pretty much all the mom and pop shops are gone, and it's full of businesses instead. I will be going this year only because I want to grab a few things that I can't get in this liberal state in which I reside.

 

Went last year and will more than likely go to this one.

I know what you mean about less fishing tackle. But with some much other stuff its well worth it for me. 2 years ago they had a falconry exhibition that was very amazing. They went through the entire process from becoming an apprentice falconer to how they net the birds and right through training and releasing hawks.

The hawg tank demos are great. I usually pick up a trick or two just watching the pros.
