representing at FH??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

robmandel · 03-02-2011, 08:00 AM

just looked at the event schedules for FH in long beach. there's a few seminars in the Fin-Nor thing, Jason on hoopnetting, Jim sharing his wild adventures, and Dave doing a mothership seminar. In the past there's been a separate seminar area for all kayak related stuff: getting started, gearing up, safety, handling the surf, all that. What happened?

Not like I'd be any help to anyone, but our sport is growing. so many new kayakers out there, ya think there'd be a spot for more.

With a dedicated kayak fishing seminar area in the past, in all honesty it was over kill. The seminars has a whole were not as well attended as they were when there were only a few kayak fishing seminars each day. I think that the sponsor of the kayak fishing seminar area saw this and pulled the plug on it. I think I have two seminars each day though on two different topics, surf zone and my travels. With Jason doing hooping and Easton doing mothershipping kayak fishing will be well covered. Of course I will be there all day to answer any questions and the guys at OEX will have their huge booth were people can get a ton of information. I think Kayak fishing will be well covered at the shows.
