The Central Ohio Fishing Seminar (COFS) is the primary fundraising event for the Hartley’s Hawgs as well as the Hawgs sibling club, the Walnut Springs Middle School Fishing Club. 100% of the proceeds are split between the two clubs.
The goal of the Central Ohio Fishing Seminar is to provide entertaining, educational, and engaging fishing content with a focus on the many great fishing opportunities in the Central Ohio area. Each attendee enjoys several conference (classroom) sessions presented by local area anglers. There are also commercial exhibits from several area outdoor related organizations. The event closes with a raffle of several prize packages! The event typically draws 300+ fishing enthusiasts from the Central Ohio area.
