Pacific Marine Expo may be kicking off a few days later than usual this year, but registration is open now.

This fall, the show we lovingly call Fish Expo returns to Seattle’s CenturyLink Field Event Center for a Sunday to Tuesday run, Nov. 18-20. Sharing space with the Seahawks is an honor, even if it means we have to delay our start time by three days.

The Expo’s free conference program (curated by NF) this year highlights a track specifically designed for young fishermen. While you’re here, you won’t want to miss live product demos, the Fishermen’s Lounge, the King County Maritime Economic Forecast Breakfast, performances by the FisherPoets, and the perennial favorite Fisherman of the Year contest.

Expo is the place to find a deal on bibs and boots, find out what’s happening with Pebble Mine, win some cash prizes, and of course enjoy a few parties. (What happens off the show floor stays off the show floor, right?)

Registration is free as long as you complete it before the show starts on Sunday, Nov. 18. So don’t put it on our list of things to do, just click right here and sign up now!
