Has anyone ever gone to the Houston fishing show? If so, are there any deals to be had there? I got an email today from south jetty coolers saying that they would have some discounts, I was wondering if there were any good discounts on either rods, reals or tackle?

if its the one at the george r brown --its about 95% saltwater fishing

While it is geared more toward saltwater, there is plenty of freshwater to make anyone happy.
Here is the seminar schedule"

Yes, plenty of deals from all the vendors. It's a good show.

and all trying to sell you something.

I haven't been a few years. I dang near bought a new Triton one year, it was a good price. Mainly saltwater and pleasure boats but the but plenty of Ranger, Triton and Skeeter boats. Its like everything else in Houston, its big. They will have boats in there so big you wonder who they got them in the building.

I plan on swinging by on Wednesday or Thursday

That's the boat show held in January.
