Saltwater Sportsman Seminar

Me, Grown Dawg and a friend, Cur Dawg attended the Saltwater Sportsman Seminar on Saturday.  It was in Bolivia, NC which meant an early rise for us to get there in time.  The panel of presenters included Mike Marsh, Capt. Rob Ferris, Capt. Jimmy Price, Capt. David Kesler, Capt. Darrin Callahan, Capt. Ray Massengill, Dennis Barbour, Harry Vernon, III, and George Poveromo.  Topics that were covered included Offshore Trolling Tactics, Flounder fishing, Vertical Jigging, Trout Fishing, Red Drum, King Mackerel, Bottom Fishing, and Daytime Swordfish. 

The seminar format was very well done!  For most of the topics, there were four panelists who had a discussion regarding the best techniques for targeting the species that was being discussed.  Each topic was between 30 and 45 minutes, so you didn't get overloaded on the information that was presented.

It was also great that there were tons of door prizes handed out.  And it was really nice stuff.  Items like Costa Del Mar sunglasses, free Sperry shoes and every form of fishing tackle that you could imagine.  They also gave away a trip for 2 to Bimini Sands.  We did not win anything, but that was okay.  We do have a chance to win a Mako boat, but that drawing if from ALL of the registrants for all of the different locations that the seminar series held.

As part of the registration, we got a free year subscription to Saltwater Sportsman magazine, a 1/4 pound spool of Suffix fishing line, OrPine boat was, a book written by George Poveromo and some other goodies.

Hopefully the weather will warm up quickly so that we can put some new found knowledge to use.
