I've been to this seminar the last couple years and will be going again this year. Each year has been different topics and the captains to a great job of presenting the information. If you're on the fence, go for it. You won't be sorry.

Would like to suggest addition to list of topics
1. how to net and still look good on camera
2. how to talk about weight and good looking fish
and still smile for camera
3. proper reeling stance for best camera angles
4. how to loose track of how many fish in cooler
so everyone on board has to hold up several fish
for camera
5. etc
6. everyone will need new shirts -with your name
on the back for the cameras

I have added commercial fisherman Paul Jensen to speak with me about fishing in and around the trap nets. He has a nice model of a trap net that gives you a better idea of what you are up against.

Looks like the weather Saturday is very conducive for attending a seminar. We still have space available and you can register at the door. We just packed the goodie bags tonight and you will be getting over half your admission back in new product. Hope to see you there.
