This is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill fishing clinic at a local tackle shop. As the nation’s premier educational seminar on salt-water fishing tactics, the National Seminar Series is an elaborate production that’s held in some of the most prestigious and luxurious auditoriums in the country. Covering the how-to’s and where-to’s of locating and catching inshore, nearshore and offshore fish within the respective seminar region, each session is supported by informative slides, diagrams, video bytes and on-stage demonstrations; These specifically tailored visuals help reinforce the critical points being discussed on stage. Furthermore, image-magnification technology allows the audience to view detailed fishing charts, step-by-step rigging instructions, lures, baits, knots and much more on a pair of huge 10-by-10- foot screens that flank the instructors on stage.
“The Seminar Series is without a doubt a great way to learn the short-cuts to fishing success, regardless of your level of experience,” says SWS Senior Editor and Seminar Series Host George Poveromo. “The amount of information revealed up on that stage borders on the unbelievable at times. There are no secrets withheld, and I’m constantly amazed at just how specific our faculty gets. The best endorsement to the program’s quality and valuable fishing content, however, is the fact that it has been packing major auditoriums going on 18 years! You can’t do that with a second rate show!”
