Welcome to the Family Fishing Show
A new fishing show for the people with 50,000 square metres of tackle, tips, top rods, talks and entertainmentThe inaugural Family Fishing Show is set to ignite the wider angling community when the doors open from 9am on April 5-6 at mighty Parramatta Park, the suburb recently anointed the most liveable in NSW, and the epicentre for the knockabout Sydney angler.
Organisers say the impetus for the new show came off the back of complaints at other shows of ticket prices being too high, food being too expensive, the same old stuff on display, not enough good fishing gear for sale and bargains to be had, not enough free stuff, and not enough entertainment for the kids and the ladies.
The Family Fishing Show decided the Fishing expos of yesteryear needed a facelift and have already garnered great support for their cause. Using a largely social and industry-driven marketing campaign to date, the new Family Fishing Show has attracted fantastic support from recreational fishing gear exhibitors and many revered top rods.
More than just a stroll in the Parramatta Park , the Family Fishing Show will spread over 50,000 square metres and be devoted to all things fishing. As such, it will be one of the largest purely fishing expos ever held in Australia.
The other big annual angling event is the Fishing Tackle, Marine and Outdoor Trade Show held by the Australian Fishing Trade Association on the Gold Coast from June 29-July 1. However, it is a trade show rather than a public event
At the new Family Fishing Show, Ladies get in free, men are charged $15 entry, children pay just $5 over five years of age, and a family can visit for $25 for the day. What’s to see and do in the wide world of fishing?
Organisers say the line-up of fishing legends is growing to include Steve (Starlo) Starling, Lee Rayner, Peter Pakula, Peter Morse, Steve Williamson, keen fly fishers Jim and Donna Teeny, footy great Martin Kennedy, tournament anglers Darryl Head and Vicki Lear, and cricketing great and keen angler Lenny Pascoe to name just a few.
Yet despite the billing it's not all lures and braided lines. There will be free day-care, a ladies-only area with beauty products and wine tasting, a food extravaganza plus cooking demonstrations, amid a veritable sea of fishing tackle from hundreds of exhibitors to hook the blokes and female fishers.
The event is evolving and the interest in this first ever Family Fishing Show is beyond encouraging. Tickets sales at http://events.ticketbooth.com.au/event/3769436/listing,
