Hate to say it but here in the north land the muskie season is coming to an end. Only about a month left. Hopefully winter will be a little delayed this year. With that being said, we're only just a couple months away from the expo season and it brings up a question. If you had the chance to catch a seminar....who would you like to see to be entertained and gain some knowledge? Of course Bucher, Saric, Maina, and Lindner are on everyone's list but who else? The young gun's...Cain, Thomas, Sennett....or the veterans...Pearson, Maas, Johnson?

Just curious.

Sabota, Eich, and Meyer for me. The most entertaining, yet informitive men i ever had the pleasure of listening to. Roger Sabota will even give you advice at the boat launch in front of his clients. All class act guys.

Steve Jonesi, if you can pin him down for an hour
Beav, but he'd just tell the truth about muskie fishing and screw the whole thing up. He is a great speaker, just 20 years plus rusty.

There's more, but I've been on the road all day and it's late!

Dick Pearson, I see him whenever I can
Doug Johnson, I always enjoy his perspective
Many of the other talented Canadian guides you never hear about

All mention above are good people to pick or choose, but I'll drive 200 miles to listen to Steve Herbeck speak. Actually, I have.

Pearson is awesome, I sneak away from the booth everytime he's at the same venue. Cain, Thomas, and Sennet are always a good show. So is Saric. Actually, all mentioned above are good and you can learn from each.

This begs the question to go along with this, which is:

What kind of information are you looking for when you attend the seminars at the show? Specifics on spots to fish, how to fish, equipment to fish with?

Greetings from Denmark- I'm really Jonsing about missing 10 days of the Nov bite! I'd really love to see a seminar by Jason Long. Since first meeting him at 2001 New London show, I've been an avid fan - he's not what most consider as a pro, but he's certainly a darn good stick and a thinking man's muskie fisherman.

BTW: Congrats to Jason on another tournament win!

Have fun!

I've been fortunate enough to see some good ones:
Bucher
Pearson
Thomas
Saric
Cain
Herbeck
Maina
They were all great,a pleasure to listen to. But my absolute favorite has to be Gord Pyzer, caught him at the Muskies Canada Odyssey this past spring.. fascinating.

Big fish, or just fish?

I'm with you Jon....my nods at Herbie.....he not only knows one of the greatest bodies of water in the WORLD, but he has figured out HOW to catch them too!

I Like Capt. Larry D. Jones's and Tom Dietz's seminars. They are full of good info .
But I'm not taking away from the other people mentioned. I have heard a few others.

I'll second the Thorpe nomination from the Canadian side. Tons of good info.
