I just saw Gary Parsons at Bass Pro do a seminar that was fantastic. I think he's doing it again tomorrow. If you're serious about Walleye fishing you should check it out.

I really wish I could make it up there to check that seminar out. Unfortunately I was in cow town on thursday at bass pro and the boat show.

sounds like a rock star. i'm a big Barry White supporter. no titles, just a regular guy with a passion. he catches the odd fish too.

Barry White is a disco star from the 70's. Caught a few babes with that bait.

Attended a Parson's seminar about 15 years ago. He knows his stuff and gave me a good understanding on how to figure out the lakes we fish. Well worth the price of admission (which was $0.) If we get one thing out of one these seminars from someone who fishes his whole life for a living we are ahead of the game.

I think he's going to do a repeat at noon tomorrow.

I really wish I would have been able to get to one of those seminars.

Fishing is all about always learning, you never know everything, and it's not often you get a chance to learn from someone with that kinda knowledge and experience, in fact, almost never.

Gary Parsons is one of the premier walleye fishermen in the world, and for my money, The Next Bite is the best fishing show on TV.

I'll be kicking myself for not getting to that one for a long time.

Critical Concepts - In-Fisherman.

I talked to him a bit and learned a lot of stuff. He went nearly a half an hour after his presentation answering questions and sharing tips and insights for a couple of guys who were interested in tournament fishing. Very Gracious and very down to earth. Count me as extremely impressed. Sundays seminar was on power jigging for shallow water walleyes. It's going to change the way I fish a jig for sure.

[nicemustang]

Well share his tips then!

I would love to hear what he had to say about the shallow water power jigging.
