This year’s Fisherman’s Post Saltwater Fishing Schools are staffed by more than 12 local captains who will share their experience and insights on inshore, nearshore, offshore, and blue water fishing. They’ll cover a range of topics that includes techniques, equipment, strategy, locations, terminal tackle, electronics, bait, etc.
The captains selected for the Saltwater Fishing Schools are specialists in their field, and their backyard waters include Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Beaufort, Swansboro, Emerald Isle, harkers Island, Oriental, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Sneads Ferry, Topsail, Oak Island, and Ocean Isle.
There will be main seminars and several rigging stations going on concurrently all day long, so you will always be able to find a session that interests you.
The main seminars will have three captains working together to thoroughly cover their particular subject material, as well as give their different perspectives on what works for them.
The rigging stations are smaller and hands-on, with participants tying and making the rigs themselves. And the best part of the rigging stations—most of the rigs you’ll get to keep and take home. The rigging stations are supplied by Chasin’ Tails Outdoors and our many tackle manufacturer sponsors, so you’ll leave the Saltwater Fishing School with complimentary terminal tackle. You learn the rigs. You make the rigs. You keep the rigs.

The cost of the school is $90 by February 19 or $100 after February 19.
In addition to the full day of learning and interacting with our captains, the price includes a Fish School t-shirt, a $5.00 Chasin’ Talis Outdoors gift card, breakfast, snacks, drinks, a Chicken/BBQ lunch, some rigging materials, and a goodie bag with free tackle samples.
