Sponsored by Salt Water Sportsman Magazine, editors Mark Sosin, George Poveromo and Barry Gibson will team with local boat captains and guides to cover angling hot spots and fish-catching techniques.
Tickets for the 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. presentation at the Richmond Centre cost $35. They may be ordered with Visa or MasterCard by dialing 1-800-448-7360, or they may be purchased at the door.
The price includes a year's subscription to Salt Water Sportsman and an 88-page textbook titled Salt Water Sportsfishing Techniques. \
