Comments Off on GoFISHn registers 1,000th member in short time

GoFISHn, a social network aimed at connecting anglers, announced today that member number 1,000 registered at the site on January 4, 2010, just a day short of the site’s first month in business.
“As everyone in the social media business knows, the early days are like trying to start a fire with damp matches,” says Ned Desmond, president and founder of Go Sportn Inc., the parent of GoFISHn. “To reach 1000 registered members in less than a month exceeds our expectations and confirms our belief that anglers and fishing businesses are eager to share their stories, images, videos, questions and reviews with fishermen and women on GoFISHn as well on their networks at Twitter and Facebook.” (GoFISHn members can publish updates automatically from GoFISHn to those sites as well.)

BASS Cancels Its Women’s Bassmaster Tour

Comments Off on BASS Cancels Its Women’s Bassmaster Tour

The Bass Angler Sportsman Society (BASS) announced it is canceling its Woman’s Bass Tour. Started in 2005, this tournament series was open to women only. It drew a lot of support from anglers and industry in the beginning but participation had been declining and the economy makes it much more difficult to attract sponsors.

Women have been allowed to enter professional trail tournaments for many years but, with draw tournaments, that creates some problems. BASS said in their announcement women would be welcome in their other tournaments and they would help them enter any trail they qualified for.

Susan Dameron did a series of articles here about her experiences on the WBT. I am sure the women that participated in the WBT will be disappointed, but I […]
