Location Change for Free Ice Fishing Seminar with Dave Genz on January 19, 2010

CONCORD, N.H. – Due to the high number of interested participants, the January 19, 2010, ice fishing seminar with Dave Genz will be held at a new location.  The seminar will take place in the auditorium of the Police Standards and Training facility at 17 Institute Drive on the campus of the New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI) in Concord, N.H. (off Exit 1 from Route 393 in Concord).   The date and time remain the same: Tuesday, January 19, 2010, at 7:00 p.m.  There is no charge for the seminar.  No pre-registration is required. 

Considered the “Father of Modern Ice Fishing.” Genz is legendary in the world of ice angling – an ice fishing expert who has taught techniques to thousands of anglers.  He is credited with many innovations in ice fishing, including the portable ice fishing shelter.  Genz hails from Minnesota, but has become a big fan of New Hampshire’s ice fisheries. 

At the free seminar, Genz will explain his “Modern Ice Fishing System” – strategies he developed to increase angler success on any species fished for through the ice. The System employs many tools and tactics, including the vital role electronics plays in modern ice fishing; most importantly, getting the most out of your fish finder.

Genz has been called “Mr. Blue Gill” for his love of this fighting panfish, but his seminar is wide-ranging.  From trout to crappies, Genz will take you through his jigging techniques and tactics. He will also discuss proper jig selection, tipping jigs with live bait or the exciting new soft plastics that are gaining in popularity with ice anglers.

“Fishing with Dave has elevated my ice fishing tenfold,” says Mark Beauchesne, Marketing and Promotions Coordinator for Fish and Game and an avid ice angler.  “If you can’t go fishing with Dave, spending time with him at this seminar is the next best thing. With the big Meredith Rotary Derby just a few weeks away, this seminar will definitely help give you an edge.”
