Raritan Bay Anglers Club flea market 1/31/09
Went to the flea market today to check it out, had some good conversations, met some cool people. A little history about the club:
They originally started as the Perth Amboy Boat Owners, and somewhere along the line changed to the RBAC. Great group of guys, they used to hold the flea market in the Knights of Columbus. As the show got bigger, they moved to St Cecilia's Lourdes Hall in Iselin, NJ, where this year they had the main hall, and 2 other rooms.
The place had over 90 tables with all kinds of stuff. From new to old, there was something for everyone. They had some decent food available from the kitchen, and everyone who came had a good time. They also gave you a raffle ticket when you came in, and were raffling off something every 15 minutes, with 50/50 tickets also available.
The guys running the show said they had over 500 people walk through the doors today. I believe it, there were a lot of people in and out of that place. With the 2 big rooms it was easy to walk around, look at the stuff, and not feel crowded.

everywhere I went, especially at the custom plug builder tables. Those guys do amazing things with wood, it was cool to meet so many great people. There were some great deals on used reels and stuff too.
No way do they capture the size and excitement of the halls and the day. Sorry people. I did this in a hurry and will have to do better next time.
