I heard Bart Hall bought the rights to the show back and there could be a Fred hall show this year

Will probably attend both. If the Fred Hall is back as before I may pass on the PCS... but then again...

It appears that Bart Hall is at the helm; it will be interesting as we get closer to hear from the various vendors if they will try to do one, the other, or both. - john

I'm glad that I am wrong  ;D . Both shows are spaced almost a month apart.  Traditionally doesn't the Fred Hall Show start the first or second Wednesday of March?  Speculating that the PCS show pushed them away from this date.

A little help here, please!

Pre-COVID, I had wanted to attend the Fred Hall show for 5-7 years, REELY knew nothing about it until then.

Tried to go last year, BUTT the show was canceled at the last moment.

I want to attend the larger show, so my question is...

Which venue, Long Beach or San Diego is the largest of the two shows???

Let me know and I'll send next year 2023 with lifelong buddy, Jerry in tow.

TANKS.

Wayne

long beach is the biggest show, or at least it was.  san diego will likely be smaller.  the pacific coast sportfishing show is the one that is on the rise.
