CLEWISTON, Fla. (Jan. 10, 2006) - Some of FLW Outdoors' most successful professional anglers will offer tournament-winning tips and techniques when they host the Wal-Mart Tire & Lube Express Fishing and Automotive Clinic Monday, Jan. 16.
The clinic will be held from 5-7 p.m. at the front of the Wal-Mart Supercenter located at 1005 W. Sugarland Highway in Clewiston. The event precedes the season-opening Wal-Mart FLW Tour event to take place on Lake Okeechobee Jan. 18-21.
The free clinic is designed for people of all ages and skill levels. The first hour focuses on specific techniques the anglers use, including tips on tying knots, casting and selecting tackle. During the second hour, anglers answer questions, pose for photos and sign autographs. Participants may also enter a drawing for goodie bags filled with sponsor products, shirts and hats.
Anglers scheduled to attend are Castrol team members Bobby Curtis of Siloam Springs, Ark.; David Dudley of Lynchburg, Va.; Mike Surman of Boca Raton, Fla.; Carl Svebek III of Siloam Springs, Ark.; and Darrel Robertson of Jay, Okla. Robertson and Dudley are both Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship winners and past winners of the lucrative Ranger M1 tournament, having taken home top prizes of $600,000 and $700,000 cash, respectively.
"We're proud to once again offer fishing seminars along the Wal-Mart FLW Tour as a way to give back to our loyal customers," said Castrol spokesperson Tracy Curtis King. "As the sport of fishing continues to grow, we're pleased to be helping anglers of all skill levels learn new techniques. Our pro angling team is excited about the upcoming season and is equally excited to introduce the sport to a new generation of anglers."
Additional information will include details about what to check on autos and boats before heading out to the water; instructions about how to catch more fish; what life is like as a pro angler and general auto tips from the pros who put an average of 40,000 miles a year on their vehicles.
