- Yep, it was titled "Bass Fishing Techniques". An organization out in
- Edmond Oklahoma called Anglers Enterprises provides the materials and
- speakers (professional bass fishermen) and they work with local Technical
- Colleges or Community Colleges (usually). In the seminar that I attended
- there were six speakers. This is the standard format. The six were:
-
- Kevin VanDam
- Denny Brauer
- Stacy King
- David Fritz
- Joe Thomas
- Lendell Martin (substituted for Jon Hall)
-
- They tell you up front that these guys have sponsors that encourage them
- to do these things (seminars and boat shows) and they make you sit through
- a 10 minute video tape commercial first thing.
-
- About 300 people were divided into two groups. Each group has three
- instructors in the morning and the same three in the afternoon. Each
- pro teaches or lectures on two subjects. The second day three new pros
- do the same thing. In other words, these six pros pull off two seminars
- in two cities on the same weekend. In this case it was Greenville and
- Greensboro.
-
- The cost of the seminar was $69.00 and the hours were from 8:30 am to
- 4:45 pm each day with an hour and a half for lunch. There was about
- 15 to 20 minutes between seminars to allow for autographs and individual
- questions. All the pros encouraged questions during the lectures by
- the way.
-
- Was it worth it. I think so. The experience of the attendees ranged
- from novice to experienced (experienced = fishes club tournaments or
- local/regional tournaments). Some of the novices had a little trouble
- with lingo like: stick baits, hard baits, soft stick baits, blade baits,
- etc.
-
- Personally, I learned two things that I know will help me catch more
- fish and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to these guys (even Denny
- Brauer, Pat :-)
