The Port St. Lucie Angler's Club announces its third yearly " Nautical Flea Market" on Saturday January 12, 2013. Learning from the comments of past vendors and participants this year's event has been greatly expanded to accommodate the large number of guests and vendors who attended the previous year's activities. Last year a number of vendors had to be turned away due to lack of space. With a redistribution of the vendor area and increase in the total amount of land available for the Nautical Flea Market, The Port St. Lucie Angler's are now able to have more space for vendors and continue to have Free Parking and admission to the Flea Market. The Club organizers has indicated there will be many more opportunity for attendees to find just the right Nautical item at the best possible price while not have to pay any admission charge for the day.
Last year's event saw several vendors completely sold out of their wares while many individuals were able to find a new home for their unwanted fishing gear. Any and all items related to a Nautical theme can be sold and found at the Flea Market including vessels up to 20 feet in length. Last year several boats were sold.
The Nautical Flea Market will be held at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens which is partnering with the PSL Angler's to hold this event. The Botanical Gardens will be open to all attendees. The Nautical Flea Market will be held from 8am to 2pm on Saturday January 12, 2013 at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens 2410 SE Westmoreland Blvd. Port St. Lucie, Fl.

The Port St. Lucie Angler's Club was first organized in 1960 and has continuously been in operation since that time. Originally housed in the Port St. Lucie Yacht Club Building at River Park. After that location became unavailable due to a fire at the Club house the Angler's went on an odyssey to find a permanent home. Several temporary meeting places were tried until a mutually beneficial arrangement with the newly constructed Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens was negotiated. The Angler's Club now meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Botanical Gardens between 7 and 9 pm. The Meetings are open to the public. Each month a professional in a fishing related specialty is the speaker and several times a year special clinics are held for instructional purposes in a phases of sport fishing. A unique and very popular aspect of the club is to match fisherman and women with boats with those who do not have boats to ensure all members get plenty of opportunity to enjoy the skills they have learned at our meeting. The matching of experience fishermen and women with less experienced anglers also is stressed. All of these benefits are available to Members. We have young and old members, men and women, experienced and new comers to the sport. So come on down to our meetings.
