The Bass University has expanded its innovative educational program to now offer On-Water Training trips in addition to TBU’s live classroom-style bass fishing instruction events. The On-Water Training program features in-depth bass fishing training trips that are taught by a growing list of TBU’s instructors on many lakes and rivers across the country.
“The Bass University’s On-Water Training program is the next step in bass fishing education” said Pete Gluszek, Co-Founder with Mike Iaconelli of The Bass University. “This program takes our students out of the classroom and onto the water in real-time fishing situations. From seasonal patterns, to boat positioning, to triggering strikes, On Water Training is the most effective way to gain hands on bass fishing education.”
Each training day is customized to fit each angler’s needs. Beginner to advanced, TBU’s instructors will work with each angler prior to the trip to develop a program that is designed to move their fishing knowledge and skill-set to the next level. Once a program is developed, TBU’s instructors will take the students on the water to teach and share their personal experiences and knowledge from years of experience as a top professional angler. On-Water Training is the best and fastest way to develop good angling skills that last a lifetime!
“If you are interested in learning how to become a better bass fisherman, hear all the inside secrets and know-how, what lures you need to use to catch a lot of fish, then The Bass University is where you need to be” said George Cochran, Two-time Bassmaster Classic Champion and Forrest Wood Cup Champion.
