About Experts Night

All speakers will be located at stations around the room so that you can move to different locations to hear the presentations you are interested in. We will have timed rotations so everyone will have a chance to hear all the speakers throughout the evening. This is an opportunity to learn new skills that work well in our local waters. Questions and sharing of information is encouraged.

Our volunteers are:

  • Herschel Finch – jerk baits and crank baits
  • Randy Chandler – top water baits
  • Bill Amshey – plastics (Tubes Flukes, Senkos etc.)
