This is a great day to hang out, take in a seminar or two and share some stories with fellow surf rats. There will be some great speakers on hand with an emphasis on how to demonstrations, factory reps, sales, raffle prizes, great food and good friends. As always the food, parking and entry is FREE!
FEATURED SPEAKERS AND DEMOS
Bill Wetzel will be hosting a seminar titled, "Big Bass Tactics." While the emphasis of this seminar will be on fishing eels in the surf, he will also discuss other ways in which surfcasters can target cows. Bill always provides both an entertaining as well as an insightful seminar and should not be missed!
