Something Old But Maybe New
Each year the Great Bridge Fisherman’s Association holds their annual “Fishing Fleas Market” at the Hickory Ruritan Club on Old Battlefield Blvd in Chesapeake Virginia. And this year it is on Saturday, 8 March 2014.
This is the fourth year of the flea market and I believe it gets bigger and better each year.
If you are looking for that “something special” for that angler in your family then this is the place. There are tables and tents set up on three sides of the building and dozens of tables and vendors inside. You will find dozens of antique rods and reels, lures and boxes, and just about anything nautical. Most times the equipment and gear will be well used and just looking for a new home.
Get hungry during the flea – Food and beverages for sale will be available during your shopping spree.
As for me, each year I find a ‘keepsake treasure”. It is usually something I could live without but then maybe not.
Obviously, some of the equipment for sale is items old anglers are just determined to find a new home for. So if you are good at bargaining then you came the right place.
The flea market runs from 0800 – 1400 but the best deals will be had early and late.
The weather looks perfect for this year’s flea market so there should be no excuse for at least stopping by. Parking is free but there is a slight charge for entry. Door prizes are given out periodically.
So if you have some free time this Saturday – time will not be wasted.
Until next time – Tightlines – Capt. Tony
