I thought perhaps the expanded Fred Hall fisahing show in the Bay Area took away crowds and vendors from the ISE. However, Fred Hall has apparently canceled its 2008 Bay Area show due to lack of sufficient interest. So perhaps the same factors are also affecting the ISE.

Fred Hall's Long Beach and Del Mar appear to be bucking the trend for "sportsman's shows" and continue to do very well. That Long Beach Fred Hall show in early March is incredible.
