George Poveromo

George is well-known as the producer and host of the immensely popular Salt Water Sportsman National Seminar Series, the nation’s longest-running and most successful educational course on recreational marine fishing techniques. Now into its 29th consecutive year, the National Seminar Series is an institution in the saltwater sport fishing community. The tour visits eight major cities annually, and has educated over 140,000 anglers since its inception in 1988.

Most notably, George is the producer and host of the immensely popular, nationally-televised series – George Poveromo’s World of Saltwater Fishing. Through his hit television show, which has been airing for 16 years now, George teaches viewers how to catch a wide variety of game fish, from exotic species like blue marlin and bonefish to regional favorites such as dolphin, wahoo, tuna, king mackerel, striped bass, grouper, snapper, bluefish, redfish, flounder and numerous others. Filming occurs along the coastal U.S. and popular angling destinations abroad, and George is usually chasing the big ones down aboard his Mako 284 center console, MARC VI.
