Striper Day 2017

Its that time of the year when after packing a considerable amount of extra pounds (17 extra pounds for me since September!) feasting on holidays cookies like bass on rain bait, our attention turns to  show season. And Striper Day is first on tap on January 14th at Hofstra University Student Activity Center (or if you went last year, same place, lol) .Yes, we turned  every rock on Long island looking for a bigger place with conference room or gym AND  large theater in close proximity of each other but we struck out. As did everyone before us so we were left with a decision, do we go back to Hofstra or not do the show at all. Due to overwhelming positive feedback we decided to proceed with Striper Day plans and its almost here. All information in this blog can be found at Striper Day official website at www.striperday.com

We got some new vendors like Luna Custom Lures , Black Hole USA Rods, Fatty Lures, High Hook Lures, Angry Fish prints and more.

We will feature two short films this year on a gigantic screen. Here are the trailers

Stephen Gallant and Brian O’Connor are back with another installment of Plum Island Surfcasting

New this year is fly fishing feature  from Lonely Osprey Productions “Between the Lines” . Here is a trailer

We have full line up of seminars, including appearances  for the first time in NY by Dante Soriente, Dave Anderson, Al Albano and Pete Utsching. Again, full seminar schedule is at www.striperday.com

Due to overwhelming attendance in 2016, we are attempting to spread out the rush this year. The show hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For all you plug fanatics, the doors will be open at 8:30 a.m. sharp. BUT, if you like free stuff, we will be handing out complimentary gift packages loaded with items from our sponsors to the first 400 guests arriving AFTER 11:00 a.m. Weigh your options gentlemen and we’ll see you January 14th.

Guest driving AFTER 11 AM will receive a complimentary gift packages from our sponsor including Supe Strike lures, Al Gag’s Lures. Hogy Lures, Tsunami Lures, Jetty Ghost Lures, SPRO, and Gamakatsu
