Fishermen are pack rats. There’s no two ways about it. We cram hooks, lures, line, leader and more into bins and bags to be stowed away for the appropriate angling opportunity, or in some cases, to be forgotten entirely. Whether it’s a tub of tackle organizers full of unorganized tackle, or a retired rod and reel combo that’s collecting dust in the garage rafters, there’s value to old or used fishing gear. One fisherman’s trash is truly another fisherman’s treasure. That’s why Scott Thomas of Grumpy’s Bait and Tackle in Seaside Park, NJ, is putting together the 1st annual Fishing Swap and Flea Market, hosted by his kayak fishing club, the Tupperware Navy Kayak Fishing Club.
Bring your new fishing, boating and kayaking gear to the event to sell or swap with others in attendance! Vendors can reserve 10′ x 10′ spots for $25, and general admission for attendees is only $3. This one-day event will be a great way to trade and/or sell through some of your used or unwanted gear before the start of a new saltwater fishing season.
Details for the event are below, or you can visit the website to learn more about the club and events.
