“The National Seminar Series has become the nation’s longest-running and most popular educational course on recreational marine angling tactics and techniques,” says George Poveromo. “This is year number 24 for the tour and the backbone to its success has always been the vast amount of cutting edge and pertinent how-to information on catching more and bigger game fish within the waters of the respective Seminar Series stop. This information is explained in great detail by some of the very best saltwater anglers, and each session is backed by elaborate visuals that include video bytes, technical- and action-oriented images and on-stage demonstrations. One can’t help but to walk away from the seminar with numerous new tricks and techniques, regardless of their experience level”.
