IGFA School of Sportfishing

The very popular IGFA School of Sportfishing, brought to anglers by Mercury Marine, is has just wrapped up it's 20th session of classes. It is a short session but diverse in topics, including swordfish, wahoo, and more.  It was also very successful with many new participants.  We should be announcing the next session of classes soon; keep checking this page for updates.  Take your sport fishing to the next level by learning from the best!  We will also be returning to the Miami Yacht & Brokerage Show, see below.

With a class size limit of 24 anglers, the School of Sportfishing offers a unique experience for anglers who want to obtain the skills, information and techniques necessary to maximize their overall success on the water.

The classes, all scheduled on Tuesday nights from 7 - 10 p.m., are taught in Dania Beach, FL at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum. Each course features printed curriculum on the session, equipment, and hands-on instruction where anglers have a chance to interact and learn from fisherman who they would usually only see on television or read about in fishing magazines.

Along with the course materials, each participant will receive tackle and products. Included in these giveaways are lures from Yo-Zuri, hook packs from VMC, and much more. As an added bonus, each person in the class will be entered to win various door prizes, such as lures, rods, and rod&reel combos, given out during each class.

Cost per class is $100 for IGFA members and $150 for non IGFA members. The fee covers the cost of the class, course materials, and tackle handed out during each class. For more details call Jeff Mackin at 954-924-4340 or e-mail him at jmackin@igfa.org.
