Crappie Madness Seminar Series

Calli Ainsworth

 

Water temperatures are starting to rise, which can only mean one thing: prime crappie fishing season is right around the corner. There are only a few weekends left to prepare for the bite, and, luckily, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and B’n’M have got you covered. Crappie Madness kicks off on February 22 with the Seminar Series, a one-day event hosted by the B’n’M Poles Pro Staff designed to educate crappie anglers across the country. Attendees can take advantage of 20% off their favorite B’n’M pole, as well as other deals on crappie fishing gear.

The Crappie Madness Seminar Series will take place at numerous Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s locations at 11:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. CST. Grab a pen and paper and take a look at locations, speakers, and seminar topics so you can decide which seminar will fill your cooler:
