Try your hand at longcasting or flycasting at the demonstration area or tour the local fish auction and see the various fresh fish displays such as Ahi, Mahimahi, Ono (Wahoo), Opakapaka, Munchong and more!

There will also be FREE drawings and a silent auction---grand prizes may include trips to Las Vegas and Ocean Kayaks.
