Projo Fishing: HotBytes

Jim White last summer

Capt. Jim White of White Ghost Charters and the Evinrude Pro Team, is starting an unusual seminar series at Ocean State Tackle in Coventry this winter.

During this seminar you will get to make five effective fishing rigs, and then, take them home with you.

The first seminar is scheduled for Jan. 10 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Ocean State Tackle. The store is located at 735 Centre of New England Blvd, inside the shopping plaza where BJ's, The Home Depot and Wal Mart are located -- off Rte. 95 at Exit 7. The shop is half a mile from the shopping center's entrance.

"You will learn how to rig a Slug-Go and Fin-S Fish quickly and easily as well as how to fish them correctly," Jim says. "You'll tie an effective popping cork rig, rig new hollow body shad baits, and tie a professional pogy snagging rig. Learn how to choose the proper hooks for soft plastics, the correct style of jig heads and how and where to fish them.

"Classes will be limited to 20 anglers so everyone's questions are answered. The seminar will last at least two hours, longer if necessary."

There will be a $15 registration fee to cover the cost of materials and refreshments. If the response is greater than 20-anglers, additional classes will be held throughout the winter, Jim says.
