Show season is upon us, and one of the largest shows in the region, The New England Boat Show, is happening this weekend at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
In addition to all the amazing boats which will be on display, our friends at the Goose Hummock Shops have created an award winning bulk display, essentially moving their entire shop into the store!
Team Goose has also organized an entire seminar series, including speakers such as Patrick Sebile of Ocean Born Lures. Seminars cover a wide range of topics from fishing the flats for striped bass, to bluefin tuna fishing. I will also be hosting a seminar which you can read more about below.

Cape Cod; A Fishing Wonderland
Join me this Sunday February 17 @ 11am in seminar room B for "Cape Cod: A Fishing Wonderland" at the New England Boat Show! In this seminar I will take you month-by-month through a season of fishing Cape Cod.
I've invested a lot of time this week into practicing this seminar, and so far the reaction has been great! I mean just check out the expression on my dog Rosie's face. She's enthralled!
During this seminar you will learn what species will be available from shore and boat. Discover top locations and techniques for striped bass, bluefin tuna and more. Complete with high resolution photos and videos.
