or brought up, it’s another world. The subject of fishing is something we can all enjoy to discuss happily together. When we go fishing it brings calmness as we wait for a bite and then excitement when we feel that tug.
I ran across this sports fishing magazine online and began to read some blogs written by Doug Olander. Dough Olander is the editor-in-chief and write blogs on a regular basis for the SportsMagazine.docx website about many different concerns and news that he feels should be expressed to anyone who reads his
blogs. His writing ideas vary from new statistics that prove fisherman help fuel the economy, to something as simple as his opinion on the toughest fish out there. He has been writing blogs since 2007 and as I read through the titles it amazed me at how much variety his interests show that concern the water, fish, and protecting it in general.
A couple of blogs actually caught my attention. I enjoyed reading his 13 Amazing Fishing Secrets from another Dimension blog mainly because I felt that these secrets could help my family and I as well when we take fishing trips, along with anyone else that is interested in expanding their fishing education. Just a couple of tips I took from this was, “tip one: Sport fishing is not a rapid-paced sport, and you will sit for many hours before you even obtain a nibble.” I bet all fishers would definitely agree to this secret because it is 100 percent true. This can be both a relaxing and very frustrating at the same time. I don’t know how many times I’ve spent hours just sitting on the boat taking home nothing but a lobster burn on my legs and cheeks, and raccoon faced tan around my eyes because of wearing sunglasses all day. Tip seven was also another one that is very important for beginner fisherman. “Make sure you have got a sport fishing certification prior to being allowed to go on the drinking water.” Licenses are very important to take with you at all times when you go fishing and everyone should know this before ever going out to fish.
Doug’s blog, Make Your Voice Heard to Keep America Fishing was very stimulating to read. Through his blog expresses the passion of ASA (America sport fishing Association) members and KAF (Keep America Fishing) members who want to keep fishing active in America and put a group of about 200,000 anglers and represent them all. He created a website where you can go if you are not a member and to encourage other anglers to join them. Go to keepamericafishing.org for more information on this group.
I think it’s important for more people to view this website and take a look at all the other bloggers of this magazine and learn more about them. I feel that others will find these bloggers and their stories educational and feel the concerns and interests as Doug Olander and the other bloggers as well.
