Just got home from the first day, and all I can say is wow! Ike is the consummate professional, and BCB couldnt have a better rep. He was patient, attentive, and paid special attention to the kids.Im glad hes part of the family.

I remember the old Bass University back in the 80s when I was in college. I paid money then and would pay now to hear speakers that have made a successful career out of bass fishing. Most of us will NEVER aspire to be half as good as these pros are.Even the BASS rookie of the year this year, Billy McCaghren, was in awe of how these guys use electronics…96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

smbass, point well taken. But the original poster made a comment about a positive experience, and one of the other posters on here has made negative comments in over half of his first twelve posts. Heres why I wont say anything negative about the seminar…a guy that doesnt get to fish very often due to work obligations or has other family commitments that are higher priority in life, could benefit from this “dock talk.” It may be only a few hours of escape from stress but if it helps speed up the learning curve to give an angler or even a “newbie” an opportunity to eliminate unproductive water/determine seasonal patterns, then great.I didnt say I would be able to afford it now or attend one..when I was in college it was an “off campus” non credit course. One night a week for 4 weeks, 6-10pm, two pros each night. Each with different strength/technique/specialty. It would be like going to the Super Bowl today. I would love to go but at $1300 for one ticket that is out of my range. Yet, there will be 80,000 people that will be there, and the bottom line whether justifying fishing classes or Super Bowl is…because they can or they choose to.Go Saints!!! 96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

Jignpig, thanks. That was the only point I was trying to make. I wasnt going to get in some flame war over this. All I was trying to say was that Ike made this enjoyable. One of the guys speaking really seemed to turn the smiles on and off as needed. Ike didnt.Listening to Velvick discuss the finer points of big big swimbaits, or Roumbanis talk about wake baits, is stuff I wouldnt have time to learn on the water. Yes, I can crank and wacky rig as well as any weekend angler, but they cut hours or days off my learning curve.Yep, there were stories, but a lot solid info was also there, and it did make for an enjoyable weekend. $400 a day for a guide or $230 for a weekend seminar, its all in what you make of it.
