Do you want to catch more redfish, seatrout, and other species in the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoon? Attend an all day Show and Tell Seminar with Capt. John Kumiski, held on the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, and learn a guide's secrets for finding and catching redfish, seatrout, snook, tarpon, and more. This seminar will be held on February 28, 2009, from 8:30 until about 3:00, with February 3 scheduled for overflow in case the 2nd fills up.

Capt. John says, "I run these seminars to help people catch more fish in the Indian River and Mosquito Lagoons. What we do is traverse (in vehicles) the dike roads along the margins of the lagoon system, stopping periodically to discuss tackle, tactics, techniques, and locations for fishing for redfish, seatrout, and other fish in the lagoon system. We cover knots, rods, reels, lines, lures, and baits, as well as how to fish those lures and baits. We visit all the boats ramps, canoe/kayak launches, and wading access points in the wildlife refuge. You will learn more in one day than you could in a year on your own!"

The cost for the all day seminar is $50 a person, with children 12 and under free.

Come and spend a day learning how to fish the wildlife refuge with Capt. John!
