Good vibes and great weather greeted all who attended the Inaugural Pelagic Fishing Expo last weekend, hosted at PELAGIC's California Flagship store in Costa Mesa, CA. Music, food, games, raffles, giveaways and more made for a fun-filled way to kick off the summer fishing season.

A huge thank you to our Expo vendors: Excel Sportfishing, Cedros Sportfishing, Seeker Rods, Davey's Locker Sportfishing, Newport Landing Sportfishing, Bear Flag Fish Co., Peter J Gyotaku Art and Sonny Jones from the Red Rooster III.
