​

Our "Beyond the Basics" Education Seminar is designed for participants who have basic angling skills and desire to explore new angling techniques and add to their experience. Trip includes three nights lodging and meal arrangements; final meal plans will be announced later. There are two lighted piers on site for fishing and practicing your skills. Some activities may take place in the local area. The educational experience will be a combination of topic presentation, demonstrations, and hands on experience. There will be ample time to fish and practice what you have learned.

Lodging: Lodging will be at the Oak Island Lodge in Anahuac, Texas

Education Topics: Agenda has not been finalized but educational topics planned cover fish habitat and learning to "read the water", effect of weather on fish activity, use of artificial lures, safety, regulations, ethics and stewardship of our coastal resources.
