Anyone else going to the Sea Grant Ludington Fishery Workshop?

[SeaCatMich]

The 2013 Sea Grant Ludington Fishery Workshop is this coming Saturday (1/12) from 9 am to 3:30 pm in Pentwater. I'm driving up from the Lansing area on Saturday morning with another fishing buddy -- have two spots in the Avalanche open if anyone wants to go. Email me at [email protected] if interested.

Is anyone else from GLF gong to be there?

Here is the info I received a month or so ago from the MiDNR:
