Ohio Muskie Show Seminars - 

"I have been fishing for the elusive Muskie for 30 years. Although I have caught hundreds of muskies during this time, my first ten years were full of disappointment and frustration. 10,000 casts hell, I calculate it took me 50,000 before I caught my first legal. With that said, the goal of our seminars at The Ohio Muskie Show is to shorten the muskie fishing learning curve." Each of our speakers will be conducting seminars that will give you practical knowledge providing you the tools you need to catch more fish more often. Our goal is that whether you are a novice or an experienced muskie angler you will walk away with some exciting new information on the sport. "Have a great rest of the season and I hope to see you at The Ohio Muskie Show next February"

Ross Wagner, Program Manager
