I wanted to get everyone's thoughts.....
As you may have seen in a couple posts (Right, Bob!
) I've also gotten involved over at the Women Anglers Bulletin Board. They are not real active and don't have many members but are listed as one of the top 100 fishing sites.....
Few of the women actually have boats to fish from.....
I was thinking that it could be fun to invite their members to come join us at our rally and fish with some of our members. I don't actually expect that maybe more than two or three might actually take us up on the invitation; but it would be a great way for us to cross-market the two sights and maybe bring some additional enjoyment of our sport to others!
The Rally would remain strictly an NTOWS function; not a joint venture.
I've already e-mailed the idea to a few members.
Some of their responses were:
"Sounds like a workable idea.... I have always believed that I have had a great gift from the people who led me astray into fishing....I have a lot of fun with new people in my boat... So, yeah I would think it was a workable idea... And, I am sure that the Moors have a rental pontoon so no matter how many folks show up we can work out getting everybody out on the water... And, finally, we have few rules on 'membership'... show up on the board and you are invited to the Rally... So, to me the 'Moor the merrier!'"
(Editor's note: I apologize for the awful "Moors Resort" pun. I have omitted the writer's name to protect his reputation.)
"I think it's a great idea when you can get people in general interested in the sport."
"I doubt if very many women would go to the rally if they are by themselves. Especially since they wouldn't know what they are getting themselves into!! I mean, just look at us!! LOL!!! Extend an open invitation and see what happens...."
So whadayallthink?
me!
