🌊🎣 A True Legend at the Atlantic Outdoor Sports and RV Show! 🎣🌊

Stop by booth D36 and meet Bucky, a true legend who’s been attending the show for an amazing 41 years! 🏆 One of his loyal customers even joked they have enough of Bucky’s flies to open their own store! 🐟

Bucky recently made a surprise appearance in the 2025 Anglers Handbook, and it’s easy to see why—his dedication and craftsmanship are unmatched.

The show is open today from 10am-8pm and Sunday 10am-5pm. Don’t miss the chance to meet the legend himself and check out his incredible flies!
