Depends on who is doing the seminar, if they have decent public speaking skills, how much time they spent on preparation and material, how well they know the subject, etc. Some of the pros are really good at conveying the information so are not so good.

It also depends on the listener too. Some people cannot listen to someone speak, watch the demonstration, then retain it and put it to actual use on the water. But if you can do that and you get a good speaker then yes they can be very "enlightening" and you can learn a ton of info that may have taken years on the water to get a handle on.

For instance, Mark Menendez was at Plapps a few weeks ago doing a seminar on KY/Barkley Lakes. I learned a ton of info that night and reinforced some ideas I had of my own. Since then I heard there was another seminar with a different speaker at a different Marina and he was not nearly as informative as Menendez.

Oh, one more thing Fishrgurl, its suppose to be entertaining as well as informative. So either your into the fishing thing and want to hear these guys speak or you don't. If your not interested then you would probably be bored to tears.
