Help is just a click away !
Sometimes as a professional fisherman, people find my website and browse the pages and posts looking for pertinent information regarding the river conditions and so forth. Some folks do research as to what gear and tackle is needed to start fishing. As a beginner, there are so many hooks and rods to choose from it can get scary when you enter a fishing store looking for new gear. Now days it’s hard to choose which gear will work the best for any given fishing situation. I have added many articles on the Blog here over the past few years to help folks narrow down and choose good gear before they waste their hard earned money on gear that will not work well for their future applications.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Jennie who was looking for new gear for her boyfriend’s birthday. After searching the internet for information she came across my Blog. She then messaged me to ask me a few questions relating to the purchase of new gear. I was more than happy to help her get great gear at a great price. Here is what transpired.
“I have to write this testimonial, (what I’m sure will be the first of many!) just to rave about Mike and his unbelievable passion for what he does. I was planning to put together a little fishing surprise for my hubby’s birthday, and after hearing great things about his blog, contacted him through the website. I asked if he knew of any good fishing holes here in the city as we are relatively new to town, and let him know that I was going to be picking up some gear. Mike contacted me right away with some great spots to visit, and then asked if I needed any help picking anything out. I admit, I’m not the most knowledgeable on the subject, so I took Mike up on the offer and he took it one step further, he offered to pick me up, take me out shopping and point me in the right direction.
Mike kept his word and the very next day, we met after work, and started my education! I learned more in half an hour with Mike, shopping for the right lures, than I did in hours of internet research. He taught me about what the local fish like, how certain lures move, the importance of color. Who knew?!
Now, although the idea was to pick out gifts for the husband, and don’t get me wrong, we did that, the real treat was Mike’s love of what he does was so catchy, I ended up getting myself a rod! I thought I was picking up a great gift and instead – I think I’ve picked up my new favorite past time!
Mike – I know we haven’t hit the water yet, but I can’t thank you enough for all your help! Your love of the sport is infectious and I know you’ve started something here, I think you’ll make a fishing addict out of me yet!
Thank you!!!
It is an honor and a pleasure to help people like Jennie out. It is the love of the sport and the passion for fishing that I am able to provide accurate information to beginners like Jennie and her husband! I think once Jennie catches a few fish from the river; she will not be able to stop that pursuit so many of us live for each and everyday.
