Thanks William,
I am excited to become a part of a legacy, one of the oldest hard core shark clubs in the world. There used to be many shark fishing clubs from North Carolina to Florida to Texas. These clubs are the home of some incredible knowledge, great techniques, and great history. The internet has opened many opportunities for organizational development and the renewed growth of the sport. I like what William is doing and believe that the US could used a heavy site like this that tells it as it is, with not much held back.
This site is on the way to becoming a resource for big shark fishing. There are some very strong players showing up here and hopefully the culture on this board will jell into a supportive, "let's go catch some fish" forum. I have enjoyed my friendship with William and Nick, and look forwards to making friends with some of the other great fishermen here.
One of the things that I will be helping William on is the technical side of the site. Although I am not an administrator here on the site, I have aquired some good knowledge on moving a site from zero to 10,000 weekday pageviews in eighteen months. I will be helping William and members of the club with some technical stuff on preparing videos for the internet, adding features to the website, and adding reports from my state, Texas, and when we fish the Florida Pandhandle.
Florida has some great fish, and great fishermen. If you guys want a larger more active site like Boatless, stop in and post up regularly. Thank people for their reports. Try to support the team. One of the members that I originally talked to is FLA Shark Hunter...Nick... Nick has represented the club very well and he won me over in our first phone conversations to the club. That is great stuff.
Looking forwards to an exciting year of seeing everyone prosper in their fishing. Let's be safe, catch a heck of a lot of fish, and make some friends. Maybe someone here could be the next world record holder, wether you are formally a member of the club, or a member of the shark fishing community that likes to call this spot home.
Deaver
