The 31st Annual New York Sportfishing Federation Forum & Auction will be held at the Freeport Recreation Center from February 15-17, 2013 with seminars by the region’s top fishermen.
The New York Sportfishing Federation Forum & Auction at the Freeport Recreation Center is the “can’t miss” sportfishing event of the year in New York.
The show will again open on Friday afternoon, at 2 p.m. with a good crowd expected early as anglers search out the best early deals to be found among the more than 50 exhibitor booths. A Freeport Show exclusive to kick off the 2012 event was an interactive presentation by Rick Robins, chairman of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC), who hosted a public forum for show attendees to help open the lines of communication between the council and our New York anglers. New York Sportfishing Federation is hoping to do the same thing in 2013!
Enjoy cast-net demonstrations, rod builders, knot tying clinics, seminars, workshops – anglers will be able get their FREE angler registry to fish New York Coastal waters this season (don’t forget, it’s a requirement that all anglers in New York register first before fishing in marine waters – sign up free on the Federation’s homepage!)
Proceeds from the three-day show and auction will benefit the New York Sportfishing Federation and its ongoing efforts to protect and serve New York’s sportfishing community. In recent years, New York Sportfishing Federation has typically used funds raised from the show to support their Teach a Kid To Fish Program, Casting For Recovery, and helping support important non-profit programs in the New York marine district like the Sweeney Sportfishing Center and Sportfishing Alliance, while also promoting sportfishing interests across both sides of the aisle in Albany.
