OPENING CAST 

Hello everyone, spring has arrived for almost everyone and fishing is in full swing.  It’s time to go out and have fun fishing and learn something new every day to expand your knowledge and skills. Expanding our knowledge involves obtaining info by reading, web research, digital content, videos as well as trying out what you learn by spending time on the water and practicing.

One source for learning is our ezine. CrappieNOW includes all the varied types of how-to content for beginners and advanced anglers as well. It is open 24/7 at www.crappienow.com. Other sources include clubs and associations which you can join to enjoy their benefits.

Sometimes we are wary about which organizations to associate ourselves with. We always want to insure they are a reputable organization.

If I may, I would recommend one in addition to CrappieNOW. It has content that adds to your knowledge of fishing. It is the National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA).

The National Professional Anglers Association (NPAA) covers all species of fish and connects the fishing industry with the fishermen that want to become professional fishermen. You can call them at: (937) 459-4444 for membership details or check out their website (NPAA.net). I am a member and recommend you become one too.

Whether you are a weekend fishing warrior, a tournament angler, or a small lake and pond angler, take a step to invest in yourself by forming relationships with others that can contribute to your knowledge base of fishing.

Check out the links above and good luck fishing to all.

God Bless, Be Safe and Have Fun
