Well, here we go on another adventure… I’ve signed up to moderate this <font color=red><b>Clubs Board</b></font color=red> for Mike and the <b>Big Fish Tackle</b> crew.[
] I’ll tell you I’m really excited to be a part of this dynamic group. My aim here will be to provide a forum that is interesting and informative for use by all fishing clubs, club members, potential club members, and fishing folks in general. You know fishing is much more fun when you’re with a group of people you know, and a club is a good way to meet people who feel as you do about fishing.<br><br>I, along with the other moderators are hoping to get more and more traffic on this and other Big Fish Tackle message boards, and we can only do this with your input. So, <font color=red><b>FEEL FREE TO POST</b></font color=red> anything you think could be interesting or informative to other readers. Club meeting dates and times, club activities, membership issues, inter-club competitions, etc.<br><br>If you’re looking for a club to join you’ve come to the right place. Just post where you’re located, what type of fishing you like to do, and I’m sure you’ll hook up with the right club for you. If you’re a club looking for new members, post your information here. <br><br>I plan to make this forum a vehicle clubs can use to increase their memberships and activities. As many of you know, I’m on the Pro-Staff for several tackle manufacturers… Seeker Fishing Rods, Progear Reels, Softsteel Monofilament Line, Kicker Jigs, Big Hammer Plastics, Booyaa Sportswear, Mustad Hooks, Area Rule Engineering, Fishco Leadheads, ProCure Bait Scents, Assault Lures, etc. My plan is to get these and other manufacturers involved in the club scene, not just as giveaways for club meetings, but for incentives to club growth and publicity for the club. <br><br>So… this forum will provide a nice platform to launch many varied initiatives to spur club growth and participation on this and other Big Fish Tackle boards. <br><br>If any clubs out there would like to have a seminar speaker for your meeting, let me know. I’ll be there with bells on and bring a carload of stuff for your raffle.[] If any club would like to join me on Fishtalk Radio to promote your club, send me an email and I’ll arrange it. Being in the studio and on the radio is way cool. [cool]<br><br>As some of you may know, I’m also heavily involved with United Anglers of Southern California. I plan to bring the clubs and UASC together on this board in an effort to create more camaraderie between clubs by having friendly competitions and such with the final goal being an increased membership in United Anglers and a stronger political voice concerning our angling sport. Got any ideas that might help?<br><br>By the way, this board is not limited to Southern California. I'd like to see Clubs from across the country and in fact from around the world. Hearing about all the clubs with their varied interests would be very interesting reading. So, whether your club is near or far, salt or fresh water, please feel free to post here and tell us about your club.<br><br>Anyway, I’m glad to be here and I hope I can help this board grow.
