Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Will be at The Bucktailboys booth lol all weekend. Set up and ready to go!!! NJFISHING.COM members stop by and say hi!

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

I have not been to this show in many years. Back then I thought it was just ok.
Hit the Rockland show last week and I can honestly say this will be my last time.
This show went from 50/50 fishing and hunting to 20/20 hunting and fishing and 60% crap. It turned into a flea market with everyone selling there get rich quick item, socks, pickels, ect.

Mabey it's just me

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

I like the pickles. Were they selling crab cakes :D

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Some specials...
$5.00 Gulp Packs
Fluke Rigs - 5 for $10
BTB Fluke Buckets
Clearance items


Stop in to see the rest!!!

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Not just you!!! The edison show was VERY similar ....After last yr i thought about not going this yr and like an azz , i went anyway.....Never again...I think there was one or two booths selling tackle, both saltwater and one guy was specializing in BIG tuna and marlin trolling gear.....

I stopped going to the suffern show about five yyrs ago, even though its above and beyond the edison show....Gonna try and make this weekends salty show , as ive never been and here that its gr8.....

Best shows for me this yr were the fly fishing show and the edison boat show....Beyond that i hit some fishin flea markets that blew away the mentioned disappointments....I don't quite understand the change in venues at these shows but i imagine theres a reason for it, cause its deffinately not to cater to fisherman of any sort...

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

The Are You Man Enough Shark Challenge 7 will be there all weekend!

Come check us out at booth 233!

Lots of sharky stuff.

Entry to the Shark Challenge 7 opens(ed) this morning at 8 AM.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Shooting for 11am or so on Sat. See ya there.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

NOAA/Sandy Hook/Port agents -have a booth out in the lobby again this year. It's not the best for foot traffic but we're not selling anything-depending on your point of view:cool:

I'll be there for a while on Sunday. Just like last year-snow coming?

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

We will be there in the AM to try to forget that it is going to snow on Sunday.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

I will be in the RFA-NJ booth all day Saturday. Stop by and say Hey!

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Bucktailboys have a great deal going on with packages of Gulp Saltwater Softbaits. You can't beat the price! $5.00. When you buy 4 packages and send in the Berkley $15 rebate (Print it out online.) The $20 you spent gets you $15 back. That's $ 1.25 per bag.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

I'll be helping out @'the Shu- Fly booth # 605
Great buys on Braid ! Waders , inshore rods , won't beat these deals !
Stop by !!

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

There's a Bass Pro/Outdoor World near my daughter's college in Pa. Figured I'd kill some time while the girls went shopping. Place was HUGE and filled with crap. Thought I was in JC Penny's at times. They had this totally anemic rod section in a tiny space. Didn't even have most of the brands on the website, mostly their store brand.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Stop by to meet and greet Capt. Fred Gamboa at the Shimano booth. While you're there, if you're a canyon fisherman and have a boat, check out the Shimano deep drop electric reel. Try to make it to their seminar about deep dropping for swords and big eyes. If you can't find a reel at the Shimano booth that suits your needs and your wallet, it doesn't exist. Narrow your search before you go because they have it all and it might be overwhelming if you are going there just to see what's out there.

Stop by and say "hi" to Captain Nick Cicero at the Folsom/Tsunami booth and check out his new fly-weight jigging rod and reel combination. It has unbelievable strength and flexibility. Check his line of reasonably priced rods including the surf rods and jigging rods. Ask him about his "big eye" reel and his tilefishing setups.

Go to the show prepared to buy something. You can see everything and get your hands on it too. Look, compare and decide what you want. The dealers will have what you want and in some cases there are show specials to go with your buy. If you put off buying until you get to a store in a few months, you'll have to go over the whole routine all over again. Turn the handles. Bend the rods. Decide what feels right for what you want it for. That's the purpose of this show. You'll never find this amount of tackle in any one store so look for it here and open your wallet.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Live close and it was something to do , so i went today . I like the horseradish pickles .

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Glad I hit the show yesterday.... good crowd but able to walk right up and talk/buy from any booth..... today will probably be packed!!! Picked up a bunch of 9" shads for my mo-jo rigs, along with some castable mo-jo's to try out this year. Still a good show keeping the flea market stuff out of there like other shows have become. And YES Steve, Crab Cakes and Pickles are there!! :D:D

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

I may go tomorrow for the crab cakes

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Steve,
The crab cakes are good


I am going great to send you my fish cake recipie. It's a lot of prep work but hands down one of the best crab or fish cakes you can make.

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

I look forward to it!

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Damn! I missed the crabcakes, missed Dales at his booth, Missed Fred at the Shimano booth but did manage to see and chat with a few of you there today. SALT you were on the way out while I was coming in, Duffman great seeing you, been a while, let's get the tuna trip together, Jack from the Are you man enough Shark tournament, good to see ya, Joe Z good seeing you strolling in on my way home. Was pretty busy today but was at least able to check out some of the goods. And for my $12 admission? I got some really nice beef jerky!!! :rolleyes:

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

Thought it was decent show yet again. Some good deals to be found.

Good seeing some NJF guys and shooting the shit for a little bit with Sharky and Dales.

Left with 4 rods, gulp juice and kangaroo jerky.....ill let y'all know how that works out....:eek:

Wanted to put down a deposit on the 220K center console but the wife nixed that idea!!!!

Re: Somerset Tackle show
 

was a good show this year...GREAT to see and talk to Freddy G again...was good also to see a few other captains i know and chat for a bit...also a few of the sideshows were nothing short of hilarious.... did purchase a Jigging world shogun prototype fluke combo that i am sure will go to good use....

Good Job Somerset
