most are on Saturdays Grrrrr on my ice fishing days, a couple there interest me, I just may need to rearrange my fishing.
Easier to list the one's that don't interest me too much. 
Since I don't fly fish(yet)...anything associated with fly fishing.
Tube n worm trolling
Surf fishing
Kayak
All the others I'm sure I could learn some important info.
I know not all are in the winter, but then we have the spring striper run

It was a neat seminar. Those rigged eels look like they would be deadly for bass. Pat is a nice guy and it is awesome of him to put these on. Then again, I did feel obligated to buy somthing! 
I will be going back in March for the "live bait for striped bass" class.
