Over the past few years, numerous vendors and attendees have asked us to launch a show in San Diego, often pitching the idea of how much the San Diego area needed its own Sportfishing, Tackle, Boat, Travel and Outdoors Show. We listened and are proud to announce the launch of the PCS Show in San Diego for 2026.

We are pleased and excited that all the top vendors have decided to join us and support the new show. The addition of the San Diego venue also gives us an opportunity to have new vendors join us, be it the new location or the fact we could not find space for them in Orange County. Our Pacific Coast Sportfishing Tackle, Boat, Travel and Outdoors Show in San Diego will be nothing like any show that San Diego has ever seen. We are planning to fill every building with 10X10 booths showcasing the best in the industry. No filler, just the stuff you love. Great seminars, amazing retail tackle sales, tons of boats, travel destinations from all over the world, and hunting and fishing guides to take you anywhere you want to go. When we walked the buildings of the Del Mar Fairgrounds, we were blown away by how much space we will be able to utilize. We can produce a show that has as many if not more booths than our Orange County show, and we plan on doing so. The San Diego Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds will be March 19-22, 2026. The Pacific Coast Sportfishing Tackle, Boat, Travel and Outdoors Show at the OC Fair & Event Center will continue to be the flagship location central to all the Southern California outdoors community, and we assure you it will be another fantastic show come March 5-8 in 2026.



I attended few times the FredHall Show in Del Mar, Ca. (San Diego Area), after the pandemic I havent gone to a Sport fishing show for some years now but I will try to go to this one, seems to be a good one.

You will not be disappointed.  There are threads elsewhere that cover the shift in SoCal outdoor shows so I won't bother to regurgitate that here, but in the last few years this has grown into a "must go" event.  And just so that folks that know me will get a laugh - no I am not planning on buying any rods or reels this year    -john

LOL, well last time I went to fred Hall show in San Diego, I didnt buy any new reel or rod, I was pretty tempted to buy an Okuma Makaira rod that was 50% off but I was after a Blank, I didnt find any blank on discount so, I left the Show with some small items just to dont return home with empty hands
