On Saturday, February 6th, CCA GA had a booth at George Proveromo’s National Seminar Series stop held at the Armstrong Conference Center in Savannah. This fishing seminar was co-hosted by Georgia’s DNR/CRD Executive Director- Spud Woodward and had about 300 anglers who paid to attend the show. Former CCA GA board member and one of Savannah’s premiere fishing guides- Roger Burge was a presenter at the seminar. Pictured above is CCA GA membership chair- Pat Brooks and his son Walker manning our booth. Our interactions with the crowd resulted in signing up 15 new CCA members and getting one donation to our Habitat Conservation projects. Tom Rood- CCA GA Chairman and Skidaway member – Dave Devore also spent time at the booth answering questions about who we are and what we do.
