During the winter, what better way is there to pass the time than to visit some of the fishing and boat shows in our area? Whether you're looking for bargains on fishing tackle, to talk with charter captains, or find a new fishing platform, if you can't find it at one of these shows, maybe you should take up golf. If you see red in the table, the "Worm" will be there.
