Dave Mercer Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi Guys, No tickets needed. It is free and the doors open at 630pm show starts at 7pm. I am hoping to see a bunch of OFC'ers at the shows. So please spread the word to all you friends the more the better. Let's pack the house so Subway wants to do a bunch of these in the future!

Handlebarz Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Dave that is very cool I hope to get out for the Sarnia one now to see if I can get the next day off work. Dang I guess we will just call in late LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPD Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hey guys, just wanted to touch base with everyone on this seminar series.... This is going to be a really cool deal and unlike anything ever done.... Dave is really going all out to create not only a talk but a show out of the night... he has set up to have two big screens on either side of the stage and an awesome sound system with added videos... this will definitely be a show for the whole family... My question for this community is regarding the type of stuff that anglers want to hear... I will be doing a "River" fishing talk and focus on a bunch of species that are commonly caught in rivers like Walleye, Smallmouth Bass and Trout / Salmon. What kind of information is everyone looking for... Are things like Specifics on lures, lines and rod Actions something needed, how about stuff like colors based on water clarities or detailed information on rigging options? I would love to hear what topics are of the most interest... I know this community has a bunch of great contributors and a great cross section of the angling community as a whole... Your thoughts on this would be very valuable... JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 well JP my thoughts are; come out to Durham for one of these events it'a not far for you and Dave (sorry, not sure about Paul) to come out this way... Have a good time guys! Geoff W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob v Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 look'n forward to the London show. I think it would be good to cover off some of the tried and true techniques plus some of the newer products/theories/techniques. Maybe a tech talk would be good - how to make best use of your sonar/gps tools &/or how to properly use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some techniques and tips on where to find the fish aswell ? I havent done much river fishing, so its all REALLY new to me !!! hahah Anything that you decide to cover is going to be valuable !! Pretty excited for the show guys ! Edited March 6, 2009 by Lunker777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPD Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks guys, I am already working on it and have included "reading The water" as a major part of it... teaching people where to look for those fish and how to properly use current to your advantage when presenting the bait... keep the ideas coming guys...

JP I think that this topic would be great , anything on flowing water and how to read and use eddies,touch on fast current and where the flow slow's down also would be great..... your secret baits, tips and tricks wont hurt! cant wait .. i'd be more interested in eyes than SMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) Not spam, but UBERSPAM. It might seem to some that this thread is all about marketing and selling something. If that is true, it doesn't belong here. I support this board, but not this thread. Edited March 6, 2009 by douG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJQ Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Well doug & GCD the announcements have the reply feature turned off. I thought that a bit of dialog to support two good friends of the board who not only support just about every charity function and tourney, sponsor great contests and just about everything else we do could use a little extra press.

bigfish1965 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Using your fishfinder in a river has always been a thing with me. I used to fish only where fish showed up, but soon found that currents can camouflage a fish or two...or more. Fishing the French River was crazy that way...baitfish on the sonar..but no walleye, yet drop down a line..fish on! You might do well to help the shore guys. My walleye in my avatar was a shore walleye caught in a large creek...a very large creek, but a creek nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're exactly right Bossman!!! I was just scolding Douglas about that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPD Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 You're absolutely right Rick, the problem with current is the turbulence, much like how your transducer will be less accurate when your boat is moving with the big motor... there are some settings that can help that on most units but the most important factor is always the transducer mounting... definitely something I can touch upon... Doug, sorry you feel that way, this is however a completely free seminar series, there is nothing sold at these events it's just about information regarding techniques and tactics to increase your success. Our job is to promote this sport above all else since we all feel that it is without a doubt the greatest past time going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 ok, when it comes to river/creek fishing with what and how to use other then roe are ideas. I am just getting my feet wet (so to say) when it comes to river fishing so other things like the gear to use (as well as your other comment JP on reading the water) would be great.

J/K! not to sure what his reason is to be honest but a great reply on your part. the CBAF is lucky to have you. Geoff W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 An explanation of how to use the Rapala trolling guide, how to modify a boat to your purposes, and most importantly,.....how to convince one's family that fishing is a great pastime that is great to do together.
