Does anyone have any info on the Fishing and Hunting Show (with "fishing boats") at Suffolk County Community College, Brentwood on March 8-10. $9. but free parking. I don't recall seeing this one before. Are there seminars? Is it all freshwater? Any decent deals like at Rockland?

We have a booth at the show so it definitely won?t be sweetwater only . I doubt it will be as big as the Suffern Show being that it?s the first year of this show, but the person promoting it has a lot of show experience and I think it should be OK.

If you go, be sure to stop by our booth and say hello.

Definately going to be a combo show like the Nassua show (saltwater, freshwater, camping/hunting etc). I was told the guy running it has a contract for several years more shows like it so I presume he sees great potential.

Well worth checking out IMO.

I am thinking of going to this show with a few fishing buddies. Is it as big as the one in Nassau?

I went last night and it as OK. Good time to stock up on some extras as hooks and line were very reasonable. Lot of guys druelling to get out especially with some mild weather coming. J&J had fluke and flounder rigs 10 for $10. J&H had some super deals on Penn 975, $190 and the lever drag was $230. Cheapest I have seen.

I enjoyed the show today. I went to the J&J's Bait and Tackle booth, from Patchogue, and I bought the Penn 975 for $189.00 tax included, which is an excellent deal. I never saw a price so low, and they even included free line if I bring it in to their shop. The people from J&J's were knowledgable and courteous.

Went to show and thought it was ok. Deal of the day was the 975 at the JH booth,$190. I picked one up for $195 over the winter from Fla. and thought that was a steal. There were also some nice prices on some TLD's. Bring Cash!!!

Anybody see the Penn Slammer spinning reel at the show?Looking for the 560,should be around $120.What kind of reel is the 975?

 

[Johnny B]

I saw the slammer there, not sure of the price. International baitcaster, they have a 955,65,75. The 975 can come with or without L.wind, not sure about others.

The 975 is baitcaster type with a movable guide for reteving line. I have one and its a great reel for bass. I almost got another one but I can always pick it up. I also use J&J for my repairs and bait. Nice people and so are the people from J&H.

I was at the show this afternoon. Lots of boats, not as many vendors as I had hoped but still a good event.

bcmeyer,

Your post on the PENN 975 LD got my attention. Can you tell me how to get in touch with J & H and see if I can still get their 975 LD deal?

Thanks.

Kabi,

They are selling the 975LD for $270 not $230.
I made the trip on Sunday to check it out and to possibly buy one and was very disapointed.

Blue Ayes,

Thanks for the info. Disappointing indeed.
I have my eyes set on a 975 (intended to spool with 50lb pp for bass / blues) @ $220 until I saw that post (wow LW+LD for $10 more). Guess will end up without the LD.

Thanks again...
