What The Pros Are Saying
• Henry Cowen: "The Great Southern Fishing Show (GSFS) of 2011 received rave reviews from both attendees and vendors! Both fly and light tackle anglers found all the seminars extremely informative while the many retailer vendors attending were happy to sell product to the public. Folks were walking around the show with bags full of gear, tackle and fly tying materials. The casting pond was a big hit as both manufacturers & retailers got to show off their latest and greatest in new rods. Next year's show will be even better as the promoters have honed in on what worked versus did not work. For the public at large, this show can help the casual fisherman become more seasoned. For the retailer this show allows them to meet new potential customers as well as move old inventory to clear the way for the newest stuff. For the manufacturer the GSFS can put their newest product into the end users hands and discuss one on one their merits."
• Ken Sturdivant: "The Southern Fishing Schools used this new show to help launch our 2011 spring and summer season. The 2012 Great Southern Fishing Show needs to be on any serious angler's calendar."
• Jimmy Harris: "For Unicoi Outfitters, the 2011 Great Southern Fishing Show was the best consumer show we've attended in several years. The seminars and demonstrations were top notch; our staff attended most of them and gave glowing reports of the presenters and their topics. We're already planning for the 2012 event. It's THE fishing show for north Georgia."
• Kelly Galloup: "The show was well run and flawless. Looking forward to next year."
