Free Crappie Fishing Seminar - Keith Sutton

[Jerry Blake]

Keith Sutton of Alexander, Arkansas, one of the country’s best-known fishing writers, will be the featured speaker for a special crappie fishing seminar sponsored by the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission. His talk, “Learn New Tricks for Catching Big Slabs,” will begin at 10:00 a.m., March 15, at the National Park Community College (101 College Drive) in Hot Springs.

“Crappie are the most popular panfish in Arkansas,” said Sutton. “But many anglers find them hard to catch outside the spring spawning season. This seminar, for both beginning and experienced fishermen, will provide simple tips anyone can use to catch more crappie year-round.”

Sutton, a native Arkansan, has been an avid crappie fisherman for almost four decades. His first-hand knowledge of the sport, and tips he’s learned from pro crappie anglers nationwide, form the basis for his latest book, “The Crappie Book: Basics and Beyond,” which was released last year by Stoeger Publishing in Accokeek, Maryland.

The seminar, funded by the Amendment 75 Conservation Sales Tax, is free to the public. Refreshments and door prizes will be available. For more information, call 501-594-5719.
