Pretty sure they did that last year?

[Havasuing]

The L.A. Show did have an "in-water" component last year at MDR. This coming year, however, it is focusing on sailboats ("SailFest" I believe they are calling it -- probably because they canceled the long-running Long Beach Boat Show last October which was largely sail oriented -- sad to see a show like that disappear after nearly 50 years). It will be interesting to see what the Fred Hall Show looks like in early March at the Long Beach Convention Center -- the ASA (American Sportfishing Association) recently sold their interest in the show back to Bart Hall along with new partner Duncan McIntosh of Sea Magazine and The Log fame -- also the producer of the Newport In-Water Show in April and the Lido Boat Show in the fall). You've got to expect the Hall and McIntosh tandem will significantly ramp-up the boat count at the traditional fishing show in March possibly making the L.A. Convention Center Show look really small -- but who knows?

Always loved the Fred Hall show. Timing is always good to book a trip for mid to late summer during that show.

Yes they did.

I go every year, why I don't know. It's more of a ritual then anything else for me.

Same here. Just seem to go every year. It's a business expense for me as well.

I see Hotboat on the exhibitor list for the show....

I'll be there but not sure when yet. No display for HB this year, not in the cards unfortunately.

[ChumpChange]

I'll be there on Thursday visiting with clients. Most likely later in the day as I have a suite for the Clippers v Spurs game that evening just around the corner.

I wanted to make it this year but I just got called to work in Playa Vista Wed-Sat....Needless to say, doesnt look like I will end up going.
Its not the same but I plan on going to the Fred Hall show.
