Well, here I am doing another new thing I have never done before, writing a blog, I will not try to bore you too much, it will be more like an information blog, of what is happening with my fishing when I go out, things I will be reviewing, for the website, and plans I’m thinking about doing now and in the future with the website.
I have been overwhelmed by the number of members who have joined us already, we just hit the 600 + at the weekend, pretty impressive for only been going for eleven weeks. My goal is to be at a 1000 members by the New Year, we are well on our way to this.
My Fishing.
My Fishing, has been on hold at the moment, an old back injury has played up so not being able to cast has kept me away from the water. However, I have been doing some research, into a few things that have given me some idea’s.
My Idea’s.
On the Kernow Bass group and a few other groups, i have been seeing, that some of the guys have been catching some nice bass on the creature baits, so with no fishing, I have been doing a bit of research into them.
I am not going into depth about these creature baits because I haven’t tried them out yet, i want to try them and will do a review about them at a later date, above are the Megabass Sleeper Craws that have been accounting for some Super Bass being caught, so I have grabbed a couple to try out very soon hopefully.
Alongside the Sleeper Craw that imitate Crayfish & Lobster, we also have the Dark Sleepers above, which imitate your Blennys & Gobys. I got a couple of these as well to try. A future review of these will i will do for sure, but some testing is needed first.
The Website.
I think I have a strong foundation on the website, to build from, and it will grow as I add more content, I plan on doing reviews on all kinds of things, I hope when the website is more established that I can approach tackle suppliers and be given things to test and review. Not easy for sure but that is the direction I have my sights set on.
Another plan I would like to do would be, especially in Cornwall as i’m based there, is to get involved with local businesses like, Fishing Tackle shops, Lure makers, Charter Boats, Guiding, anything to do with Bass Fishing, to promote their businesses, through my website and they also promote my website, gift some tackle to test, in return, I can link their shop in a review for members to buy this product from them.
I have always been a believer that if someone takes time and trouble to help you, then do them a favor in return.
On a Last Note.
I have had 500 cards printed to promote the website and my Facebook group, if you would like some for your shop, a club, or anything else to hand out please give us a shout and I’ll get some posted to you.
Well there is my first blog, some information and plans i’m thinking about for the website going forward, if any of you have any ideas about what you would like to see on the website feel free to post a comment below.
Many thanks for reading my blog, Tight Lines Guys and Girls Steve.
I’d definitely put a Kernow Bass sticker on my tackle box if that was something you might consider in the future?
Hi Sam it’s something I am looking into, I have 10 stickers on the way to see how they look,I’ll post them on the group when they arrive.
Good luck with the site, but so many people have done the same thing before, shops these day get so many emails weekly from anglers and blog writers wanting to do reviews that most get deleted right away. You have to remember that they can do it all themselves for free. You really need to come up with a idea that will attract interaction with businesses.
