No matter if you are just starting out, or a "seasoned pro" there is something here for everyone who has an interest in the shark fishing game.
Many of you have been to some of the shark fishing seminars Captain Larry has conducted over the years. This seminar will be different from past ones in that this will be the "Full Monty" so to speak, covering all aspects of the game from A - Z.
For those of you who have never attended...............
Captain Lawrence J. Festa has been an avid offshore L.I. Fisherman for over thirty-five years. He is a Licensed Coast Guard Captain and a former charter boat Skipper of his F/V KRISTEN.
He is a member of the oldest and largest fishing club on Long Island, the Freeport Tuna Club. He has served as past president, special advisor, and is currently senior staff to their Board of Directors. Captain Larry has given numerous shark seminars at Long Island Sporting Shows, throughout the years. In addition he has done several open shark clinics and he is considered the clubs resident shark expert, thus coined the name "The Legend."
During his fishing career Captain Larry has won and placed in several Long Island Shark Tournaments, including the L.I. Hudson Anglers & Woodcleft Shark Tournament Events.
His knowledge of Long Island water spans from the inshore spots of Jones's Inlet to our canyons.
So come down May 8th for a great evening of information and fun!!!!!! There will be some great raffle prizes, and remember a BBQ dinner is included in the seminar fee.
