The magazine that focuses on saltwater fishing is bringing
its acclaimed National Seminar Series back to Charleston for 2013. Host George
Poveromo is a senior editor at Salt Water Sportsman magazine, and stars in the
World of Saltwater Fishing TV show on the NBC Sports Network. It may be frigid
outside on Saturday February 9, making it a great day to attend class indoors
all day about how to catch more saltwater fish. The
seminar begins at 9 a.m. and will conclude by 4 p.m., and will have a cadre of
experienced fishing captains sharing their knowledge. In 2010 the auditorium at
Charleston Southern University was packed with about 300 saltwater anglers
eager to learn more about fishing tactics and tackle, and they will use the
same location this year. I first attended the National Seminar Series in 1995,
and
the 2013 edition will be the 26th year for this popular saltwater event. The
fee to attend is $55 and is considered a good deal considering it includes six
hours of instruction, a course textbook and a one-year subscription of Salt
Water Sportsman magazine. Is a saltwater textbook valuable? You bet it is, and
I can still put my hands on my 1995 copy. Bad weather days, when one cannot go
saltwater fishing, offer the perfect time to pour over books about tactics and
let that knowledge sink in, while checking to make sure your tackle box has the
correct equipment.
Attendees
will also receive a goodie bag with boat cleaning products, fishing line,
offers for tackle discounts and more. Plenty of fishing equipment will be given
away on February 9 during door prize drawings. In 2010 the giveaways included
gear from sponsors like Sperry shoes, Penn reels, RayMarine electronics, Suffix
fishing line and Rapala fishing lures. Best of all, you will be with a room
full of saltwater enthusiasts who are ready to share fishing stories, and
excitement about upcoming fishing trips.
