    Suffern NY Outdoor Show

    Plain and simple. Is it worth it? Is there a percentage of the show dedicated to fishing?

    It is really a good show and 50/50 is about right on the money .... Skeeter Basscat and Ranger boats were there
    last year...Show prices on tackle are pretty good if your looking to spent some money.....

    It's really not too bad. I usually go every year. Better than most in this area. If you're looking for a special deal the most you'll find are 10% discounts.

    It's still fun. Gets you out of the house for a few hours.

    Last year was pretty good besides the boats. All the big rod makers were there so you were able to see all the different models and take a close look at the quality of each.

    Yep me and my old man go every year to the show. Weekends are a mob scene though, hit it during the week if you can, alot easier to move around and see stuff. Beats sitting inside and watching TV or snow blowing.

    you got that right when we had our booth there, I would be hoarse by the second day trying to talk to the thousands and thousands of people. You couldnt even move in the isles on a Saturday.

    Worth going to get out of the house. We would go Thurs. bunch of us, got a chance to catch up with guys I knew working the booths. Have not been recently, since I moved, but went since the early 80s. We used to call it the suffering show when I worked it. Get to check out new gear, I always liked to put my hands on the rods to get a feel for them, action.

    Have fun

    Its a great show - they have big Daiwa and Shimano floor booths and you can put your hands on all the new stuff. Good seminars, the best boat dealers, tackle supply depot - I'll be there Saturday. Reynolds Marine will have a some really nice rigs there - stop by and talk with Tom. Believe they are now the biggest Phoenix dealer in the entire Northeast.
