The money raised is going to help Kids Special Olympics in RI.

Shallow Water Striper University

Here is a reminder on the show we will be hosting on March 12th, 13th and 14th 2010 at the Sheraton Airport Motor Inn, in Warwick, RI.

This event will be the first of its kind in our area. The focus is totally on striped bass and striped bass fishing. Fourteen (14) professional anglers will be discussing and teaching you how to become better anglers and catch more stripers in the coming years.

Topics for this event include: How to fish live eels from boat and shore, tube and worming, fly fishing, kayak fishing, fishing with live menhaden, scup and shad, using tins effectively, ( I don't think anyone has done this before) presented by tin expert Joe Martin, owner of Point Jude Lures, shore fishing, metal lipped swimmers, high definition underwater footage of stripers habitant. And for the first time, a Live-Pool demonstration on rigging and working soft plastic lures. This will be presented by myself and Herb Reed of Lunker City Lures. Actually watch, in a crystal clear pool how soft plastics were meant to be fish and worked.

Regardless of how you fish, from boat, shore, casting, trolling, etc, there is something to learn from each professional if you pay attention as he discusses his expertise in his chosen area.

There will be a raffle, one at the end of each day, worth over $8,000 in prizes. Twenty-one (21) lucky anglers will also win a fishing spot on a top notch charter boat. Fishing trips are only for those in attendance at this event. Each person has about a 1 in 6 chance of winning a fishing trip. Those are pretty good odds for sure.

Friday night features Free Hot Dogs and Pitchers of Beer!! And there will be a silent auction of Sports Memorabilia of framed, numbered and signed photographs of New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox's and Boston Celtics.

Monies raised will go to benefit Rhode Island Kids Special Olympics and their projects, so its a very good cause.
