The IGFA School of Sportfishing will kick off its 12th session at the end of August and according to Jeff Mackin in the IGFA education department, the class line up will cover different aspects of both inshore and offshore fishing.
The next session begins on Tuesday August 25. The IGFA School of Sportfishing classes are held on Tuesday nights from 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Dania Beach, Florida.
"The classes this fall will include such topics as the 'Fundamentals of Sportfishing,' 'Successful Swordfishing,' 'Bottom Fishing Wrecks and Reefs,' 'All About Live Bait,' a brand new inshore class called, 'Secrets to Surf Fishing', and more," said Mackin.
"Once again we've been able to attract some of the finest captains from around the area to lead each class. Not only do these instructors guide clients to trophy fish day in and day out through their charter businesses, but they also have a knack for being able to teach our participants their secrets through hands-on interaction.
