Logistically Saturday was a mess, they had no idea how to work a line or a crowd. We were there with the baby and so where a ton of other people with small children and the line was all outside and it was hot. They didn't prescan anyone before the show started and it looked like they had maybe 1-2 people scanning tickets for the early bird entry. It took us about an hour to get in and that was only because someone took mercy on my wife and baby and let us in early. I think they started just waving people in at that point because of how nuts it was. Once inside it was crowded and the saltwater section was smaller, I understand it wasn't all saltwater but you could basically see everything in about 30 mins. We hung for a little while and bought some stuff, a lot of the same vendors as RAP, but some different ones. Once the 1 pm crowd came in, it was too much and we left. As it stands now we would not go back if they come back next year. RAP is so much better run, and has so much more to offer to the saltwater crowd, if you want to go to a "big" show, RAP is the way to go.

Actually, an even bigger show is that frag farmers market out in CT lol

I have not made it up to that one, we always seem to be doing something that day, but have always heard good things. One of these days we will get up there.
