We’re looking at rain late in the day/ early evening commute and then turning into a wintry mix overnight with slick road conditions. Chance of precipitation is 75%. Not much accumulation is expected, but if that changes we will certainly let you know. Driving conditions may be challenging; the best advice is to slow down.

Temperatures plummet Wednesday and Thursday with wind gusts making it feel like -10 to -20 below zero. Expect gusts of up to 40 MPH.Pipes may freeze, so take precautions and let those faucets drip.

Temps creep up a bit on Friday but wont get over 30 degrees until Sunday morning at earliest.
Dangerous wind chills means frostbite is a real possibility if you’re outside too long unprotected. Exercise caution.

Do you or someone you know have a love for fishing? Whether alone or with friends, from shore or on a vessel there’s no better way to spend a day off!

You don’t need to tell any fish tales about the one that got away if you have the right tools and equipment. On March 16th the New England Small Business Fishing Show hosted by the South Shore Fishing Supply will feature anything and everything under the sun.

The popularity of the South Shore Fishing Supply’s New England Small Business Fishing Show has grown over the years and so much so that this year they have expanded from 1,000 sq.ft. to a whopping 8,000 sq.ft.! That’s 8,000 sq. ft. of all the fishing ware you can shake a stick…or rod at!

Dozens of vendors will be showcasing a variety of gear, tackle, rods, lures, reels, fly, and more. Best of all you don’t have to pay big box prices and/or send off your hard earned money to some headquarters in some far away state. South Shore Fishing Supply is a locally owned and staffed small business. Want first dibs on the merchandise? The Early Entry VIP tickets are available to the first 30 customers for a limited time and you get a free gift, click HERE to purchase.

That means that not only does the money stay here, but you are browsing local vendors who have been fishing our waters for decades and know exactly what you will need or want. I’m willing to bet there will be quite a bit of shared experience, knowledge, and tales.

Unlike other fishing shows across New England, the vendors have to compete right alongside the chains and conglomerates and that means higher prices for you the shopper. That is not the case at the New England Small Business Fishing Show because it is all local business.

No matter your age, gender, race, creed, whether you are black, white or purple fishing is one of the best ways to relax, destress, and have fun. Having a tackle box full of gear that can be used for any and all occasions is an important part of fishing. Don’t be caught without the right stuff!

Ready to grab your tickets? Most major shows charge $10 or more, while at the South Shore Fishing Supply’s New England Small Business Fishing Show it’s only $3 for a early bird ticket online! That price is locked in until February 1st so get your tickets today! There are also Family Bundle Packs!
