I was there Thursday. I never did get rained on. It was OK. I found a bunch of things to buy. I got a sand anchor for my PWC that I may never even use - but it was only $5 so no harm done. I got a strainer that I do not even know if I need, for a buck. Probably the best deal I found was a throw line in a bag for $10. Without measuring the line, I think it is 75 feet. There was even a stainless steel clip on one of the loops, and it seems to be new. River Marine was selling rods for $5. A lot of them were damaged in some way, but if you looked through the pile there were some good ones there. I picked out two. I am thinking of filling one with some goop I have left over and making it a kite rod - but at it is now its a good two piece spinning rod. The other one is ready for a conventional reel. The larger flea markets are always worth going to, as you never know what is there. I like to get there on the first day - if possible - because the really good stuff tends to get picked clean. Unless the vendors bring out more junk as the junk they have sells. There is also a good deal of fishing gear, so if you need hooks, rigs, sinkers, swivels, and all that stuff you can load up. I would say Dania Beach is worth going to. Be like the homeless and "borrow" a shopping cart from somewhere, as you never know what you will find.
