After a summer break the IGFA's popular School of Sportfishing will resume at the end of August with a selection of Tuesday night classes.
An IGFA education spokesman said the topic list for the eighth session will be posted in early August on the IGFA web site and includes new titles and instructors. The web site can be found at www.igfa.org/schoolofsportfishing.asp . It will include each instructor's biography and professional accomplishments as well.
"This past session we introduced two new classes which included ???Understanding Your Onboard Electronics' and ???Tarpon, Redfish and Trout Tactics,'" said IGFA Education Director Dave Matagiese. "Both were well-received by all the participants.
He added that anglers from other classes have reported fantastic fishing with greatly improved catch ratios after putting their newly gained knowledge to practice on the water.
"With the price of gas climbing higher each week, customers have been giving the program great feedback saying they've become much more efficient in finding fish and making each strike count."
Matagiese said all classes are limited to the first 24 anglers to sign up. The Tuesday night classes are held from 7 ??? 10 p.m. at the IGFA Headquarters in Dania Beach, Fla. The cost is $100 for IGFA members and $150 for non-members per class. To sign up or for more information, contact Matagiese at 954-924-4247 or via email at dmatagiese@igfa.org. Registration is also available online at www.igfa.org/sosform.asp.
