I featured spybaiting at last year's Ultimate Bass Clinic and it turned out to be the HOTTEST technique of the summer of 2014! With multiple wins and top finishes on big catches of BIG Lake St. Clair smallmouth bass!! I'll be talking about spybaiting in more detail at the show and you can find out what the next HOT bass fishing tips and techniques are at this year's Ultimate Bass Clinic!

Don't find out at the end of the season! Find out BEFORE the season begins! Sign up before the seminar at Wayne's Xtreme Bass Tackle booth to reserve your seat!

We are heading down Thursday Afternoon.  I've never gone to any of the seminars.  Is there a charge to get into the ones on lake ultimate?  Looking to check out the 4pm Zona seminar.

why is it that the big guys are only there when most people have to work? I think they would draw a bigger crowd if they were there on the weekends.  JMO

All the seminars are FREE once you're in the show except for the Ultimate Bass/Salmon/Walleye Clinics. That's over 100 FREE seminars!

It's their schedules. They would have them there for all 4 days I don't doubt if they could book them for all 4 days. Both of their schedules are packed! I was worried Kevin wouldn't be able to make it this year for 1 day even so I'm glad that got him for one day at least!

Come in the evening. They'll be there for awhile after work yet. Or take the day off!?! Good reason to take a day off! (vs cabin fever at least)
