Call Dave Stewart at Bassbuster Guide Service and you can sign up for the class. His number is 270-354-5039. The class is out of Dave's home and he pretty much only does them during the winter when he is not guiding.

Take a buddy and you both will learn a lot. I never had the "class" version but did get the same information on a guide trip with Dave a few years back and I use the information pretty much every trip I go fishing. Really help you eliminate 90% of "less productive" water on every trip. You can take a map of any river system shad forage based lake, like Ky Lake, Barkley, Rough, Nolin, Barren River and such and figure out which 10% of the water to start your fishing trip ANY SEASON OF THE YEAR. This will give you a staring point and you my have to adjust to a secondary point, hump, flat or such to find the fish based on conditions but you won't be very far from your original starting spot if you use what Dave teaches you. Really comes in handy, especially when fish are transitioning from deep to shallow or shallow to deep. Good Luck, money well spent

Like Elwood said, this class will help you out on virtually any lake. I teach the class using the Ky Lake map by Atlantic Mapping Co, but do on occassion have students bring maps from their home lakes from all over the country. Most topo maps need to be "prepared" in order to perform the eliminating water task I teach, which is too time consuming to do in the class, but I do teach you in the class how to prepare your map so that you can apply the information I impart to you. The more detailed your map is will result in less time on your depth finder to apply the information.
