The Barnegat High School hosts the annual
Fisherman's Flea Market on Saturday, Dec. 14

Reel in the holiday deals during the fifth annual Fisherman’s Flea Market held at Barnegat High School on Saturday, Dec. 14, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The event will include 80 tables offering new, used, custom and antique fishing equipment such as rods, reels, lures, collectibles and apparel from a range of vendors, including Fisherman’s Headquarters of Ship Bottom, which supports the student club throughout the school year.

“There’s a whole variety of fishing gear to suit every angler,” said Brett Taylor, adviser of the fishing club, who started the student program in 2008 to “provide a different outlet” for the high school population.

Door prizes from attending vendors will be raffled off every half hour, and food will be sold by the school’s history club.

Admission costs $4 per person; tickets are free for children younger than 13. All proceeds will benefit the fishing club’s activities, including on- and off-shore fishing trips as well as scholarships for the clubs’ graduating seniors. For more information, contact Taylor at 609-290-7709 or btaylor@barnegatschools.com.
