SWS National Seminar Series 2018
AMERICA’S LEGENDARY SALTWATER FISHING SEMINAR TOUR TAKES TO THE ROAD FOR YEAR 31
The Salt Water Sportsman National Seminar Series, the nation’s most popular and longest-running seminar on recreational marine-fishing tactics and techniques, heads to eight major cities in 2018: Fort Myers, Florida; Hampton, Virginia; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Islamorada, Florida Keys; Long Island, New York; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Daytona Beach, Florida.
What’s the secret to packing auditoriums for more than 30 years?
“It’s the amount of cutting-edge information we dispatch at each stop,” says National Seminar Series host George Poveromo. “The purpose of having nationally recognized angling authorities and leading local pros at each seminar location is to provide the shortcuts to catching more and bigger fish within the waters of the seminar regions. Regardless of level of experience, be it beginner, intermediate or advanced, anglers learn where to go, the best lures and baits, and — most importantly — the subtleties and adjustments our pros employ to stay on top of the fish and keep the strikes coming.
“The fact that the tour enters into its 31st year is its best endorsement.”
PRIME VENUES
The National Seminar Series is an elaborate, highly visual production held in luxurious auditoriums and ballrooms to ensure comfort and quality acoustics. Each session spans 30 minutes and is supported by informative images, diagrams, video bytes and onstage demonstrations. These visuals are tailored to each session to help reinforce the points discussed onstage, broadcast on a pair of 10-by-10-foot screens. The seminars are held on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is a one-hour lunch break at noon.
THE SWAG
In addition to five hours of fishing instruction from some of the best pros in the business, attendees receive the informative National Seminar Series textbook, a one-year subscription or extension to Salt Water Sportsman, one Roffer’s Ocean Fishing Forecasting analysis, a bottle of Orpine Wash & Wax, Star Tron fuel treatment, and Star brite Xtreme Clean and Corrosion Block, a $10 Bass Pro Shops discount card (on a purchase of $75 or more) and chances to win valuable door prizes. All this at a ticket price of $55.
DOOR PRIZES
Throughout each seminar day, drawings award thousands of dollars’ worth of door prizes, including lures, fishing pliers, Bass Pro Shops gift cards, Columbia Sportswear, Papa’s Pilar Rum, Yeti coolers, Penn reels, dredges,
King Sailfish Mounts, JL Audio components and more.
BIGGER DOOR PRIZES
At the conclusion of each of the eight seminar stops, there will be a drawing for a Florida Keys fishing trip with a noted Keys fishing guide, accommodations included.
AFTER PARTIES
To help celebrate a full day of learning and provide an opportunity for attendees to socialize with George Poveromo and faculty members, there will be an After Seminar Party from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the local Bass Pro Shops. A National Seminar Series name badge is required to enter the special party area at the Bass Pro Shops, where seminar attendees enjoy complimentary food, drinks and live music. Each registered attendee is entitled to bring one guest to an After Seminar Party. All but the Long Island, New York, seminar will feature an After Seminar Party in 2018 (there’s no Bass Pro Shops close to that seminar venue).
VIP PACKAGES
All advance ticket orders will be entered into drawings for chances to win VIP upgrades. This includes a front-row seat and backstage access to join the faculty for coffee and snacks in the morning and lunch at noon.
