The Florida Saltwater Fishing Expo returns to the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach on March 28–29, 2026, bringing together anglers, outdoor enthusiasts, and leaders from the saltwater fishing industry across Florida and beyond.

This two-day, 100% indoor event features shopping from top national fishing brands, innovative local businesses, custom lure makers, apparel companies, and marine-focused exhibitors showcasing the latest gear, technology, and products for saltwater anglers.

Special guest Robert Arrington of Deer Meat For Dinner will be in attendance, giving fans the opportunity to meet one of the most recognizable personalities in outdoor and fishing media.

Attendees can enjoy exclusive show deals, product demonstrations, giveaways, and raffles benefiting The Great Loop Challenge and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF), supporting boating-related causes and families affected by childhood cancer.

Family-friendly experiences are a major focus of the event, including the Next Generation Angler Zone, sponsored by Southern States Fishin’ and Huntin’ Magazine, designed to inspire and educate young anglers.

Admission is free for children 12 and under, as well as for military members and first responders. Tickets are valid for both days of the expo.

Founded to support the fishing community and highlight the businesses that fuel the industry, the Florida Saltwater Fishing Expo is Florida’s only event dedicated exclusively to saltwater fishing and the coastal lifestyle.
