Yep, I don't see anyone crying. I feel for any speaker that has to give a presentation when folks are walking in, around, and through the presentation area. No way around it. I see it as a lack of respect for the professionalism of the pro's that do this, but they get paid so I guess they'll speak where and when agreed to. Bottom line, it is pure retail management, keep em on the floor, and get em buying. No insult to BPS, just knowing retail well. The wife used to manage 7 WalMart Supercenters for Anderson Merchandising. They control every book,magazine, music, dvd, etc in every store. The crap that retail managers do for traffic control, floor space, $$/ft'sq, etc is amazing.
Retail is retail, doesn't matter if you're WalMart or Nordstroms.
The best way to get to where you want to be in the future is to act like you are there TODAY.

Standing in the Gapold fuzzy LIKED above post
Thanks to everyone that come out and listened to my crappie seminar this past weekend, a huge thanks to Bobby Garland for having me there. I think “us” crappie folk impressed the Bass Pro Shops management staff, by filling ever seat that had; they were not prepared for the turn out. I’m just glad that Bass Pro Shops finally dedicated two whole weekends to us Crappie guys, it’s a step in the right direction for our wonderful sport. I believe the managers at Olathe saw the benefits of the weekend, and will report good things back to the mother ship… There is no doubt crappie fisherman are starved for information (there is tons of bass fishing stuff…everywhere).
It’s very hard to squeeze everything in a 45 min seminar; there is a lot to share. So if you have never heard my rambling (A lot of rambling, sorry) talk about crappie fishing, come on out Friday to the Independence Bass Pro Shops at 7PM, no better way to spend Valentine’s day then talking about crappie fishing!! Then again on Saturday at 11AM and 2PM. Please keep in mind, if you come out its not to support me; it is supporting crappie fishing as whole and show Bass Pro Shops us crappie fisherman need to be heard.
If you’re not able to come out to one of the seminars, I will be posting parts of the seminar to my YouTube Channel: KevinRogersFishing. Because us crappie fisherman are starved for crappie fishing info, I’m trying to post tips and techniques on the YouTube Channel, I need to post some videos of us catching fish at some point; but can’t put my rod down long enough to video tape it…… I love crappie fishing!
Thanks-
Kevin Rogers-
is he doing the one on Friday night or just sat??
I'd spend a day or two with you and your dad shooting some video!
great job Kevin, your passion and that of others is what will create a better awareness, wish would have been in town to take it in, can use all the help I can get
Wish you were down more my way,went and seen Wally fri night.They had to keep getting more and more chairs.Good turn-out.Hope to make it back up to see the Buntings.See ya on the water.
Kevin you need to come do a seminar at the Everhart's spring sale. We are doing a two day sale with seminars both days. Saturday of it will be the LOZ crappie masters tournament but would be glad to have you on Sunday if you could make it down. I have all the items and new colors from Bobby Garland now in stock.
Great conversation on here guys, that’s what makes CDC so cool….
Just one clarification to G. Gordon post about us pros getting paid to conduct seminars. I received zero $0 dollars from anyone for last weekend’s seminars; I personally picked up all cost associated with traveling to and from the event. I do it, because I want folks to love crappie fishing as much as I do………
Crappie Fishing rules!
