South Portland-based pro who specializes in fishing for tuna, sharks, and offshore ground fish, as well as striped bass and bluefish aboard his charter boat Teazer; Pete Mourmouras, noted authority on both inshore and offshore fishing along the Maine coast and who owns of Saco Bay Tackle;

“We are thrilled to bring our special 25th Anniversary Edition Seminar to

Maine for an information-packed and entertaining day”, says George

Poveromo. “The amount of cutting edge information that will be dispensed by our faculty teams borders on the incredible. And with our lineup of leading national and regional angling authorities for this special edition presentation, it will be nearly impossible to leave the seminar without learning something new, no matter what the angler’s level of experience. The fact that we’ve been touring going on 25 years now is perhaps the greatest endorsement of the amount of how-to and where-to fishing information contained within the Seminar Series, and the quality in which we offer and reinforce that information to the audience.”
