Want to catch more fish in 2006? Fisherman’s Post Newspaper, the publication that covers all the saltwater fishing action along the Carolina coast, is hosting its first annual full-day Fishing School in 2006. The Fishing School is staffed by 10 local captains who will share their experience and insights on techniques, equipment, strategy, locations, terminal tackle, and other subject areas. The captains selected for the Fishing School are specialists in their field, whether it is inshore, nearshore, offshore, or gulf stream. Their backyards include Wrighstsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Sneads Ferry, Topsail, Southport, Oak Island, and Ocean Isle Beach. There will be one main seminar and three smaller focus groups going on concurrently all day long. Two to three captains will work together and address the crowd in the main seminar room on topics such as flounder fishing on artificial reefs, slow trolling live bait, bottom fishing fro big grouper, and effective gulf stream tactics. While the main seminar is going on, the smaller focus groups will be addressing other topics of interest. If the big room is discussing topwaters for trout and red fish and you have no interest in this subject, then you can spend that hour in one of the smaller groups and learn about something that does interest you (for example, anchoring techniques for offshore structure). The smaller focus groups will also serve as rig tying workshops. These workshops are hands-on, with participants tying and making the rigs themselves. You learn better and faster as you do the rigging yourself. And the best part of the rigging stationsâ€â€ÂÂÂmost of the rigs you’ll get to keep and take home. The rigging stations are supplied by Tex’s Tackle, so you’ll leave the Fishing School with complimentary terminal tackle. You learn the rigs. You make the rigs. You keep the rigs. The Fishing School, sponsored by Fisherman’s Post Newspaper, will be held Saturday, February 25, from 7:30 to 4:30, at Vector Marine in Wilmington, NC (at the intersection of Market Street and Military Cut-off). The instructors for the school include Capt. Dave Tilley, Capt. Rick Croson, Capt. Brant McMullan, Capt. Jim Sabella, Capt. Stu Caulder, Capt. Butch Foster, Capt. Chris Foster, Capt. Jimmy Price, Capt. Walter Bateman, and Capt. Ricky Kellum. The cost of the school is $90 in advance and $100 at the door. The price includes breakfast, snacks, drinks, and a pig pickin’ lunch. People who pre-register also get a free Fisherman’s Post T-shirt. You can pick up your tickets now at Tex’s Tackle and Vector Marine, or you can order them directly from Fisherman’s Post. If you want to order your tickets or if you would like more information on the Fishing School, you can call Gary at (910) 452-6378 or send an email to
