If it is anything like the last few years, I'll be avoiding it.
Just got back, got my free bag of tackle from one of the events, took a look around, yawned and left. Outfitters and some of the electronics guys had great displays, but there were like four Pleasure Craft Operator Card booths, a DFO Booth, Coast Guard Booth, and not many boats to look at.
I disagree.
There were 3 tents outside and 1/2 of the arena worth of boats. What were you expecting?? Where would they put more boats. You could look at anything from a kyak to a 30 footer??
Reps from all of the major manufacturers...
A repeat of the last couple of years but I had a good time looking at boats that I can't afford and yacking with the fishing circuit.
Only complaint I can muster is lack of parking because of the tents set up in the parking lot. But where else could you hold it in Victoria?

Just got a call from the Wild One. Seems Sherwood Marine dropped one of there 26" Striper on to West Saanich Rd today. Seems they forgot to put the tie downs on. OOPS..[:0]

Larger venue such as SOFA would be better, but I enjoyed the displays including boats, fishing gear, electronics, etc. Makes you wonder how those fish have a fighting chance with all that high tech gear... [?]

I agree a larger venue would be better however I don't think a single ice rink such as Save On Foods is the right venue either. Something that has a twin rink venue, like Penninsula Sports Centre, would be ideal.
