Bass fishing seminar coming to Lake Lanier


American Fishing Schools, in association with the Outdoor Adventures Network, has announced a new fishing seminar that will join their "Hook'd On Fishing" seminar series that travels North America. The Lake Lanier Spotted Bass fishing seminar will provide the tackle,techniques and tactics for the beginner to expert angler to hook into one of Georgia's most challenging lakes to fish.

The seminar is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 20 at Lake Lanier Islands Resort, just outside of Buford, Georgia. It will cover fishing for spotted bass year round on the lake. Our five presenters for the seminar bring over 80 years of combined experience to share with each angler that attends the seminar from 8:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m.

The first presenter is one of the top fishing pros on the B.A.S.S. and FLW fishing tours, Tom Mann, Jr. He has called Lake Lanier his home lake for over 20 years. He will share all of his secrets on finding and catching spots on the lake. The next presenter will be Capt. Mack Farr from Hoschton, GA. Mack has been a guide on Lake Lanier for over 20 years and has produced several videos on spotted bass fishing. He is in the process of releasing a book on the Spotted Bass Fishing. He will share his unique insight to fishing for these fish during the seminar.

Dr. Bob Reinert, fisheries biologist at the University of GA is an avid fisherman. He will give each angler a unique look at fishing from the fish's point of view. His humor mixed with good scientific information will help you understand spotted bass behavior and he'll make finding them easier on your next fishing trip.

Dan Jorgenson is a rising star on the B.A.S.S. tour and spends a great deal of his time on Lake Lanier honing his skills fishing for spotted bass. He will share with you the discoveries he has made over the years and some great secrets for catching spots when fishing gets tough!

The final speaker is Tim Norman and, like Dan, he is another rising star on the B.A.S.S. tour. Tim will share many unique techniques that will get you thinking about how you approach your spotted bass fishing.
