UPDATED 11/17/09 - INCLUDES SEMINAR SCHEDULE

Anglers Marine in Anaheim will again host the annual Winter Bass-A-Thon, drawing some of the biggest names in professional fishing to Southern California on November 21st and 22nd. This year's bass fishing celebration will feature national touring pros Greg Hackney, Scott Martin and Brent Ehrler along side regional superstars Gary Dobyns, Bill Siemental and Dave Gliebe. Those five pros will share their secrets with the public at the two day Bass-A-Thon with seminars throughout the weekend.

In addition to the all star line-up of seminar speakers, a series of tackle "workshops" will supplement the festivities this time around. Anglers Marine has put together some of the best in the business to simply teach you how to catch more bass. Western pro Rich Tauber will teach Bass Basics 101, three-time US Open Champion Mike Folkestad will instruct on the topic of Basic Plastic Worm Rigging, Swimbait 101 will be taught by big bass legend Mike Long, and last but not least the long-time Lowrance pro-staffer Jarrett Edwards will hold class on Basic Electronics Use.

These workshops will perfectly compliment the seminar schedule (outlined below), providing anglers of all skill levels the opportunity to improve their bass fishing skills. Whether you're a tournament pro or a casual weekend warrior on the City Lakes, the Bass-A-Thon will afford you a valuable opportunity to improve your angling with tips from the best anglers around.

The MC for the event will be none other than radio personality, Mercury Pro and the extremely entertaining Kent Brown of Northern California.  

The other draw at the annual Bass-A-Thon is the tackle premiers and sales. Dozens of the top manufacturers in the country will be on hand with their newest and greatest bass equipment, many of them offering rock-bottom prices on their goods. Anglers Marine has promised a larger tackle display this year, despite having a considerate space already dedicated to the tackle in years passed. 

And for those that might need a new boat to store all your new fishing tackle, Anglers Marine will be offering the year's best deals on new and used Ranger, Champion, Nitro and Basstracker Bass Boats. Bring your trade-in with you, parking is plentiful at the Bass-A-Thon.

If you take the short trip up the coast don't forget to bring the kids along, the Bass-A-Thon will feature a Kid's Casting Contest as well to keep the youngsters entertained. And for the adults that feel left out on the casting contest, they will have you covered as well - an Adult Casting Contest will also be held - with proceeds going to the Wounded Warriors.

Food and raffles will also be available, so pack up the car with your fishing buddies or kids and make a day out of it. There will be plenty to see, do, learn and purchase at the 2009 Anglers Marine Winter Bass-A-Thon. The show will open at 8:00 AM each day of the Bass-A-Thon.
