The Second Annual Rod-Man Fishing School was an even greater success than the first. We moved to the UNCW Executive Development Center facility and it was perfect. We had nearly 70 participants and five instructors covering topics from inshore fishing Rod-Man style to fly-fishing to king mackerel trolling, marine electronics and Berkley's newest sensation for fishermen...GULP baits. Plans are already underway for next year's school and will be announced this summer.

Hi Rick, Just wanted to shoot you a quick note to thank you for providing such an outstanding "Continuing Ed"  session this past weekend.  It was worth every penny.  Mike, Justin and I had been looking forward to the class since October and it certainly exceeded our expectations.  We were so pumped in fact, that I'm putting the boat in the shop tomorrow and I think we're going to try and hit the water this weekend.  Any recommendations?   Again, thank you for Saturday.  You have three very appreciative anglers.   Sincerely, Scott Scarola   And another:

Rick,  

First of all the seminar on Saturday was great. This was a much better venue an obviously was needed for the size of the participation. Congratulations! 

Just wondering if there were any spring specials left? Late April or early May would be good. Also would like to do a prime time flounder trip. Please advise. 

Thanks,

Howard Sager

Captain Rick thanks all those who attended and made the 2006 Annual Fishing School a success. Look forward to seeing you again next year!
