I'm not sure if this is the right place to put it but has anyone been to one of the Eastern Outdoors shows? They look really cool but I wanted to know if anyone of you guys or gals have been there?

I've been going for 20 years now. Man I'm getting old I mainly go to see some old friends I only get to see once a year. Years ago you could get some good deals. Not so much any more. If you've never been there plan on spending the whole day. Its huge! Great place to book a fishing or hunting trip.

IM right by there. My dad and i usually go every year. Was just there last week. I dont believe the fishing section was all that great this year but who knows. I was looking to buy a new baitcast reel there but i just didnt find any deals. LOve going though.

I made it down yet again.  I always go with my dad and a buddy of mine.  I really enjoy the guys from Susquehanna Fishing Tackle.  They have a great booth (and website) and are just full of knowledge, imo.   My buddy and I also picked up a few more rods from Robert Nosbisch at B&R Outlaw Rods.  Been using them for a couple years now...fantastic rods especially for the money. 

I would go every other year till I noticed the big drop in local tackleshops and the rise of out of state trips. Most of the show is out of the state in the fishing department. So I say > keep going and supporting the little local shows that have local dealers  and less than $5 to get in and free parking outside.  I believe the site is http://tackleshows.com   about 5 states worth of mini shows.  and badbass94 I believe there is one down your way in wellsville next month that I'm a vender at.
