I ended my last column asking how fishermen learn how to be better in this day and age. Spence Petros, who got me started in this business, doesn’t hold his classes anymore and I don’t know of anything similar. I asked you to help me out and let me know what you think are the best ways for anglers to become better at what they do.
I began to ponder the question and I was shocked to realize that there has never been anything like the Spence Petros Fishing Classes I was extremely lucky to have been a student in.

Someone recently asked me how I got into the fishing media business. Funny story, I think.
It was in the latter years of the past century. Sounds incredibly historic, doesn’t it. I had always enjoyed fishing as a pastime. When I wasn’t actually fishing, I enjoyed reading about the sport. My bedroom night table and the rack in my bathroom were piled high with fishing magazines. I contacted a small regional fishing newspaper about the possibility of my writing an article for them.
