The end of this year will be 5 years on the web for MDFishing.org. In that 5 years there have been a few diehards and a few fleeting members. I have the itch to revamp and upgrade the site. I am asking this without consulting my partner in crime and very close friend, Muskalungee.

Question is what would make us better?
We have been basically a glorified blog and there isn't anything wrong with that. I, actually, like that very much. It works for me. Easy to maintain and no airs about us. We do what we say and we say what we do.

For example:
By design and in that time we have NEVER pimped anything. EVER! Muskalungee and I talked about why that was the right thing to do a long time ago. It was a very good decision. I am seriously reconsidering that position. There are a couple of products that I think NEED to be pimped by some of us. Case Plastics is the de-facto example. I have been using Charlie's stuff for a long time. Case products are good, very good. How do we pull that off and maintain integrity? Is it even possible?

Should we do start pimping things that are just flat out the way to go?

Next steps:
What do you think about a mid-winter focus group? We can do a firehouse breakfast somewhere and Mike and I can get the ideas we need to finish the job. Bottom line is that I want this to be all about us because that is what matters. I don't really give a crap what other people are doing.

Tell me your thoughts.

More to come!
