Hey Hall of Fame family,
Happy New Years! We hope you had an amazing holiday season! Paul and I got to spend some much needed time with family and friends. (We even caught a cool bull shark (check out our other blog post and socials)). Every New Years, people make resolutions. And every year, some of those people let their resolutions slip as time goes. It takes hard work, determination, and reasonable expectations to achieve your goals, and you can do anything you set your mind to. We've set some goals for the New Year here at Hall of Fame Outdoor Company, as well. We want to continue providing quality fishing apparel and dedicated customer service. We want to continue and improve upon providing quality social media content. And we want to begin building our platform on Youtube. That's enough about us, though. Here are a few New Year's Resolutions for anglers to implement in the coming year that will hopefully improve your experience on the water.
First, explore new water, and fish in areas you have never been before. This may be the single best way to catch different species, try different techniques, and grow as an angler. You can plan a trip, do background research, and let the anticipation begin. Paul and I will be exploring new water in Oklahoma this March, and we could not be more excited. Secondly, teach someone about fishing. Teaching a friend or child how to fish can be so rewarding. You'll want them to catch a monster before you do. If you don't know anyone, go to a public fishing spot and introduce yourself. There are usually a lot of people at public fishing spots, and they usually have a wide arrange of fishing skills. Third, keep your tackle organized. It's so easy after a day on the water to be lazy and let your gear get everywhere. Frogs end up with jigs and crankbaits. A good way to stay on top of this is to dedicate a certain amount of time after your fishing trip to properly put tackle away. It could be 30 minutes or less. Lastly, leave the fishing spots in better shape than you found them. Leave a trash bag in your car, and pick up trash where you may see it. Some places will give money for aluminum cans, if you want to collect any cans lying around separately. I can think of a few local boat ramps where picking up a little trash would go a long way. At Hall of Fame Outdoor Co, Paul and I will be following these fishing and personal resolutions. We hope you have a great 2024!
Tight Lines,
