HUGE CROWDS ARE LOOKING FOR:

Inshore Boats
Boat dealers and manufacturers throughout Florida display the very latest and most innovative designs in shallow-water skiffs to anglers who come to buy. "I had 3 deposits before noon on Saturday, and 7 by the end of the show. I'll be at all your shows from now on." O.V. Orol, Flycraft Boats, Orlando.

Offshore Boats
Reef anglers and bluewater trollers alike pack the aisles looking for this year's models from some of the biggest dealers in each venue, like Kenyon, Marlin Marine, Julington Creek, Tuppens, Bonita Boat Center, Dania Boat Yard, Marine Max and Thunder Marine.

Tackle
The latest in rods, reels, line, clothing, downriggers and artificial baits can be found in retail booths set up by tackle dealers from across Florida. Our exit polls have verified what dealers have learned—"They come to buy!"

Lures
Every angler who walks through the door of the exhibition hall is looking for the same thing—the latest lures that the pros are recommending at the seminars. Offshore and inshore experts give hourly seminars that mention their favorite baits, and retailers feel the surge when seminars end.

Innovative Gear
If you have a new invention that you need to get into the hands of Florida anglers,add all 8 Fishing Shows to your marketing plans and by the end of the year over 30 thousand serious Florida anglers will have heard your message and handled the goods.

Resorts and Charter Guides
Travel reps book trips to tropical destinations that Florida Sportsman has been covering for over 30 years, from Costa Rica to Venezuela to the Bahamas, while across the aisle, licensed Florida charter captains, many of them Fishing Show seminar speakers, set up shop at "Charter Captain's Row" to book trips for inshore and offshore fishing.
