Usually out at sea on extended
trips, it is unusual for the vessel to be available for public tours, making the Independence a popular attraction at the Fred Hall Show. There are no scheduled tour times.
Guests simply walk across the Hyatt Hotel bridge to where Independence will be docked. Patrons can find out more about one of the premiere ves- sels in the legendary San Diego long- range vessel fleet from Independence operators who will have a booth inside the show.
The Fred Hall Show is now
California’s largest boat show with more trailerable boats on display than ever before. The entire Sports Arena and a significant portion of the lobby and main exhibit halls of the Long Beach Convention Center will be filled with boats. Ram Tugs will be unveiling new models only at the Fred Hall Long Beach Show.
Free Seminars More than 400 seminars will be
available, geared to anglers and out- doors enthusiasts of all experience lev- els.
Presented by Progressive
Insurance and by Hobie Kayaks, many of those semi- nars will be panel discussions. There are five main seminar venues: the Mammoth Lakes Ultimate Eastern Sierra Experience; the Cousins Tackle Ultimate Saltwater Experience; the Typhoon Ultimate Bass Fishing Experience; the Accurate Saltwater Tank; and, the fly-fishing seminar area and casting ponds. Two of the most anticipated semi- nars this year are the “Let’s Go Fishing So. California Fishing Basics” and the
thelog.com
“Light Tackle Surf Fishing in So. California” pre-show seminars. If you are new to fishing or looking to expand your fishing horizons, the “Let’s Go Fishing So. California Fishing Basics” seminar is for you. Novice to mid-level anglers are encouraged to attend and learn from seasoned instructors how to become part of the 10 percent that catch 90 percent of the fish. The semi- nar will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, March 6. For those who are interested in the growing trend of surf fishing, the “Light Tackle Surf Fishing in So. California” seminar will bring together legendary experts Bill Varneym, Jr., Patrick Sebile and Ruben Ortiz. Both seminars will provide rare insight into the fishing industry and cover topics such as: places to go fish- ing (including some secret spots), rig- ging methods for catching a variety of species, licenses and regulations, pho- tographing your catch and teaching your kids to fish. The seminar is sched- uled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 5. Both seminars cost $25, which includes show admission and a complimentary gift. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly and are available online only. Five members of the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (DFW) top leadership will participate in a panel where sportsmen and sportswomen can ask Fish and Wildlife leaders any questions they want. Director Charlton H. Bonham, Deputy Director of Wildlife and Fisheries Dan Yparraguirre, Chief of Law Enforcement David Bess, Chief of Fisheries Stafford Lehr and Marine Region Manager Craig Shuman will answer questions from the public on a variety of fish and wildlife related top- ics as part of a panel discussion taking place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 7 in the Mammoth Lakes Seminar Theater. Pete Gray, host of Let’s Talk Hook Up, Southern California’s premiere fishing radio show, will moderate the panel.
