Walleye University

[BiteMe]

For those that are wanting to learn about walleye fishing, the MWAA is hosting an event called Walleye University, at Bass Pro Shops.

Here are the details.

On January 14th, 2006, professional anglers Johnnie Candle and Jim Carroll will share as much of their walleye fishing know how as they possibly can in six hours.

Walleye University is the most comprehensive walleye seminar ever created. It is a full day of discussing the fine points of jig fishing, live bait rigging, spinners and crank baits. Boat control, trolling techniques, and marine electronics will also be covered in depth. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers as well.

"Sharing our knowledge is a big part of professional angling", says Jim Carroll, Professional Walleye Trail veteran and Tracker Boats Pro Team member. "Nothing is more gratifying than meeting up with fishermen who have attended Walleye University, and hearing about their successful fishing trips using information learned at one of our schools".

"There is no other place to learn this much in one day". PWT veteran Candle says, "walleye fishing is really growing in the southern reservoirs. Lakes like Stockton and Bull Shoals are just full of walleye. The professional tournament circuits have done a lot to bring these reservoirs to the forefront. Jim and I have both fished these lakes and will be able to offer tips that will help everyone catch more fish".

Walleye University is hosted by the Missouri Walleye Anglers Association and will be held at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in Springfield, MO on Saturday January 14th. It begins at 11:00 am and runs till 5:00 pm. Please pre-register, as seating is limited.

For more info or to register, call Lee Brown at 417-886-2046 or Bass Pro Shops at 417-887-7334. The cost is $35 per member, $40 per non member.

There's still room, although it looks like there'll be a pretty solid turnout. Should be a great show--it's an 8-hour pro course, packed into a 6-hour time slot. You can pay at the door. Tuition includes door prize drawing. See ya there!

Do you have a book that you could recommend for someone who is a beginning walleye angler (few trips to Canada) and would like to learn how to capitalize on the opportunities around here?

Can't think of a particular book off hand, but a couple videos on The Next Bite pertain mainly to reservoir fishing.
