I heard there is a show tomorrow. Anyone going?
If you are in New Jersey,the show to go to today is the Berkeley Striper Club Flea market. They will have a good selection of vendors and some custom plug builders selling.
If you cannot attend that show, you might want to go to the Asbury Park show on March 9. It is the premier show for this area of the East Coast. Some of the most talented plug builders from all over will be at show.
For anyone else whom is interested, here is a schedule of the New Jersey Shows. Some of them seem small, but if you live near the area, they might be worth checking out:

Ok, thanks very much for the info. Sounds like the Asbury show is a go, and I will try to make this one also. I am looking for some custom plugs, and jigs.
For you guys and anyone else who may be visiting here, the Asbury Show is the one in NJ. If you really love custom plugs, you don't want to miss this show. Some of the premier plug builders from the East Coast will be there. Plan on going early if you want to buy a particular plug. Some folks will be lining up at 3am, or earlier.There will be limits on some of the plugs due to the high demand.
This is truly a show where if "you snooze, you lose!"
A little info:
Date: March 9: 9AM to 2PM
Show:Asbury Park Fishing Club Flea Market
Location: Asbury Park Convention Hall
Ocean Ave. between Fifth & Sunset
Asbury Park, NJ
Admission: $3 per person, over 120 tables, plus selection of antique tackle.
Further info as to plugmakers can be obtained directly from the Asbury Park Fishing Club, a great group of fishermen.
They will also give anyone who is interested info on membership application. They are one of the oldest clubs around, and have a great reputation. In 1888, Colonel James A Bradley, founder of the City of Asbury Park, and nine of his friends formed this club. They have been a respected part of the fishing community ever since.
If I get a chance later on, I will try to post directions and some more info.
