The New Fishing Year kicks off Jan. 3-5, 2014 with the annual National Professional Anglers Association Conference. The Crowne Plaza hotel near the Minneapolis airport hosts the meetings, with a line-up of world-renowned speakers, a complimentary banquet supporting the Future Angler Foundation, technical and new-product sessions by tackle, marine and electronics companies, and dozens of industry leaders.
NPAA members and non-NPAA members are welcome. “The upcoming NPAA Conference is a must-attend event for all North American anglers who love fishing and have aspirations of taking their passion to the next level via guiding, tournament competition or teaching others to fish,” said NPAA Executive Director Pat Neu.
He urged attendees to register prior to Dec. 18 for $60 conference rates, including two meals, plus the banquet dinner, all sessions and more. Bruce “Doc” Samson’s Doctor Sonar School takes place Friday, Jan. 3rd, from 9 to 4. Registration and Supporting Partner displays open at 3:30PM Friday. A business meeting will be conducted at 5 p.m. that evening, followed by a Meet/Greet party sponsored by Worldwide Marine Insurance. Read More
