UPDATED: HSO Bass Workshop at Thorne Bros. April 16

[Timmy D]

That will be great to hear, I can't wait to learn some trick from you guys!! That deeper water can be like finding a needle in a haystack, but it really can pay off if you find them!

[Craigums]

Here's a topic: Finding potentially productive areas on a new lake, and reading your electronics to assess those spots

Updated the original post, but thought I'd post at the end of the thread as well...

EVENT SCHEDULE

The schedule for the April 16 Bass Workshop is as follows:

10:30 AM Seminar: North Country Docks - Wayne Ek

Seminar Synopsis: Think the docks on your lake are overfished? Chances are it's just the opposite. Learn techniques and tactics the pros use to wring every possible fish from docks.

12:00 PM Seminar: Deitz Dittrich and Ray Esbolt - Drop Shotting and Deep Water Boat Control

Seminar Synopsis: Deitz Dittrich will show you the where, when, how and why of drop shotting deep bass, and whether you're drop shotting, jigging or cranking, boat control is critical when targeting deep water bass. Ray Esbolt will explore the fine points of boat control when fishing deep.

1:30 PM Seminar: Rob Kimm - Speed Plastic Systems for Clear Water Smallmouths

Seminar Synopsis: Clear water can be a challenge when you're searching for smallies. Rob Kimm shares 4 straight-forward systems for finding and catching summertime smallmouth bass in clear water, whether they're shallow, deep, or somewhere in between.

3:00 - Moderated Roundtable Discussion with speakers and guests.

Topics will include:

- Strategies for fishing new water

- Proven approaches to pre-fishing tournaments

- Whatever YOU want to discuss. Come with questions!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Really- the round table discussion can be about ANYTHING.. This is what I am most looking forward to. It will be a live in person HSO thread. Brig your own opinions, bring your own questions!

[Cecil]

Hopefully I can at least make it over to help out with the round table. I'll be talking walleye's all weekend, so it will be a nice change of pace

[Craigums]

I think im free that weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone...btw is TB's running any discounts or sales on bass gear that day?

[RK]

Hiya -

Yes - definitely some great deals to be had.

- 20% off rods and lures

- 10% off reels

- "show special" pricing on electronics

- more besides...

Needless to say, Thorne Bros is really stepping up with this, as always.

Cheers,

rob kimm

[Deitz Dittrich]

THATS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!!

[jalberg]

looking foreward to this!

[Craigums]

Perfect! And I get paid on the 15th, how slick is that

[Dylan33]

Still two months left for this. I would be willing to bet people do not have "the fever" yet.. as we get closer I would be willing to bet there is more chatter on this.

DD- "The FEVER" has set in, and it is very contagious!

I tried more cowbell, and it had no effect. This is serious!

[Deitz Dittrich]

MORE COWBELL!!!!!!!

I am really looking forward to putting a lot of faces with names at this event! WE have such a fun thing going in this forum. When the net goes down I start to twitch.. I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!!

[RK]

Hiya -

Craigums, getting paid the day before a TB sale could be dangerous...

I'm really looking forward to this too. Just a few weeks away now. I'd love to see it become an annual event. Was working on a seminar outline last night and started getting pretty fired up for spring. Will be very fun to put some face and names to the screen handles...

[Tator2k]

I am hoping to be up there as well. The question is do I save all my money wait for the sales here, vs the Sports Show next weekend.

Good news/bad news:

The good (great) news is that my brother, who is serving his second tour in Iraq, is coming home for mid-tour R&R. The bad news is that it's at the same time as the seminar at Thorne Bros

Any chance this thing could be recorded and podcastified? I really want to be there, but family's gotta come first.

Family is first....also, hopefully i speak for everyone here when I say a huge THANK YOU to your brother for serving our country, and also tell him to stay safe over there.

[thatoneguy]

Well it looks like leave will start earlier than expected for my bro, so I should be able to make it to Thorne Bros after all...best of both worlds. Yee haw!

[CrowWingBasser]
