I don't agree that Ike's or anyone else's information regarding a topic that didn't fish our lakes would not apply here. In many cases, what they would have to say would have even more validity to it because you will be able to pick up on the subtle adaptations and adjustments that they make on different bodies of water or during different seasons. I think it just depends on what you choose to hear and how you choose to apply it. Touring pros or local anglers - both would have value. Local anglers will just be more accessible and easier to coordinate dates with.
Personally, I just love being in that environment (seminars, talking fishing) and even in cases where I may not agree with somebody, I still chalk it up as learning.
I agree Don. I guess my reply would change if the price was a little less, or if I didnt have to travel to Seattle.
There would certainly be value in having Ike talk about anything....like you said...each person will assess the value differently.
There's also an opportunity cost..ie...what could I have done with the $200 in another direction. I'd probably get more out of paying a local stick that amount to let me fish out of the back of his boat for a full day.
People remember 80% of what they do, and only 20% of what they hear.
Don, what are you doing around the middle of May? :-)

Well the only time I've seen Mike Ic. on tv fishing here on Lake Washington he wasn't fishing with a Bass fisheman, only a salmon fisherman who said he didn't know a thing about Bass. If a real Bass fisherman in Washington had been with Mike Ic., then Mike Ic. could have caught fish because the local Bass fisherman could have put him on fish. Also Mike Ic. should have been able to find fish anyway unless he was just depending on the salmon fisheman to put him on a good spot and not hunting/looking around on his own. But then he was on a limited time schedual so I'm thinking Mike Ic. was depending on that salmon fisherman to put him on bass to save time. Therefore they had a nonproductive day, for salmon as well as for Bass. I'd not even heard that he was out here twice. But still, I'd rather listen and learn from local anglers who would know the local tricks. The national people would still be interesting and have good info.
BigBass Dez said:I hear ya Kevin , And for the record im a fan of Mike also but here is my beef ! He was been out here to fish our lakes twice and has yet to get anything going (blanked) . I would rather pay to hear Ron H , Marc M, Aaron E, Tony L , Tag W, etc talk about our lakes over Mike "any day of the week" .. And to be frank with ya , i honestly believe that deep down inside Mike wouldn't mind be part of the audience himself ..lol .. Just my 2 copperheads on the matter !!

Kevin Higgins said:I would go for sure heck i'm willing to fly to Sac to go, Seattle is a lot more convenient. If you are worried about the $200 I will remind you guys that you will be learning from the pros. I don’t know about you but I would be more excited about meeting Mike Iaconelli then the Queen of England.
