The best sportsman’s show in the NY/NJ Bight area is coming up on Friday. The New Jersey Convention and Expo Center at 97 Sunfield Ave. in Edison is the site for the Saltwater Expo, which runs from noon to 8 on opening day before continuing Saturday from 10-6 — and Sunday from 10-5.

All the major national manufactures display at this show along with many at the local level. Several national and area fishing personalities will be on hand, including Crazy Alberto Knie, Ron Arra Jim Hutchinson Jr. , and Nick Honachefsky.

A pair of Stripers for the Future Seminars will be featured on Saturday. at 3 and 5 with the emphasis on proper release techniques. I’ll have more about this tomorrow.

The weather is finally changing for the better. The Wednesday forecast is for a mere 5-10 knot south wind! Stripers should be waiting for Raritan Bay anglers.
