Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin | I attended the NPAA (National Professional Anglers Association) Conference in Minneapolis this past weekend and it was great meeting the members of NPAA. I beleive there was around 200 members that attended. What was the message? The message was "Growing the Sport of Fishing'. Each and everyone of us has the passion for fishing. The NPAA members are helping to grow the sport in many different ways, but are working together to accomplish this.
At the Conference there were many great speakers from Al Lindner, Dion Hibdon, Jeff Kolodzinski, Doc Samson and more.
During the event you were able to see new and existing products on the market and meet anglers that use the product.
This past year the NPAA has grown by leaps and bounds, by members and supporting partners. I recommend that you learn more about the NPAA by going to www.npaa.net. If you decide, you like what you see, become a member.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

| Yes it was an awesome meeting, great speakers, great info and great message. Once again I walked away learning more on the buisness side of fishing as I have in past years. It was great to see it almost double in size in attendance. It was streamed live over the internet so people could watch it at home, but it doesnt compare to actually being there, talking face to face with the icons of fishing Tommy Slkarlis, Gary Parsons, Doc Samson, John Schnieder, TJ Devoe  the list goes on........
Put is on your calender for next year. Again "Its all about the sport" | |
