CLEWISTON, Fla. – Some of FLW Outdoors’ most successful professional anglers will offer tournament-winning tips and techniques when they host the Wal-Mart Tire & Lube Express Fishing and Automotive Clinic Sunday, Jan. 19.
The clinic will be held from 2-4 p.m. at the Wal-Mart Supercenter located at 1005 W. Sugarland Highway in Clewiston. The free clinic is designed for people of all ages and skill levels, and participants are invited to ask the pros questions about fishing and automotive topics. The event precedes the season-opening Wal-Mart FLW Tour event to take place on Lake Okeechobee Jan. 22-25.
Anglers scheduled to attend are Castrol team members Bobby Curtis of Siloam Springs, Ark.; David Dudley of Manteo, N.C.; Johnny McCombs of Mount Olive, Ala.; and Darrel Robertson of Jay, Okla. Robertson and Dudley are past winners of the lucrative Ranger M1 tournament, having taken home top prizes of $600,000 and $700,000 cash, respectively.
“Getting involved in the communities hosting the Wal-Mart FLW Tour has been a great way for us to give back and to thank the anglers and tournament fans who have been loyal consumers of our products for many years,” said Castrol spokesperson Tracy Curtis. “Fishing is a wonderful family activity that has no boundaries on who can participate. We are dedicated to helping anglers of all skill levels learn new tricks of the trade and promoting the sport to a new generation of anglers.”
Highlighted products will be BFGoodrich Tires, Castrol motor oil and EverStart Batteries. Information will include details about what to check on autos and boats before heading out to the water; instructions about how to catch more fish; what life is like as a pro angler; and general auto tips from the pros who put an average of 40,000 miles a year on their vehicles.
