    Question IDEA - Crappie.com Online Virtual Spring Fishing and Boat Show?


    How difficult would it be to create a Forum on Crappie.com dedicated to an online spring fishing show? With so many spring fishing and boat shows being cancelled due to COVID-19, it would be nice to see a forum where sponsors could post videos of new products, product sales/specials, new boats, new tackle, and most importantly seminar videos to create an online outdoors show. The reason I say a dedicated forum is so that when you open it you see individual threads from each sponsor, a thread for each seminar, etc.

    Just tossing this idea out there. It would be neat on maybe March 20th (the first day of Spring) to see the designated forum go live with all the videos and such.

    We have a big show in western Kentucky, usually in January, that was postponed to March and then just cancelled today. I was really looking forward to the crappie seminars put on by M R Dux and seeing his newest boat and how he has it all rigged up. There were many other seminars I was looking forward to as well, including a few by our local fish and wildlife staff with updates on the Asian Carp situation. It sure would be neat to see all that still happen through videos, and to also see videos/seminars from our other many members across the country.

    Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, I do think it would be cool. I think the only issue would be to get participation. We might get a few, but being a new forum, it might not get noticed. We'd really have to get the word out. Might be worth a try. What does everyone else think?

    As far as making a new forum, that would not be a problem. We'd just need a moderator for it.

    I think Art already volunteered, lol. At least when Slab started this site, and I requested for one for Pa,, was then asked to be the moderator. Isn't that how it works? Thinking others had the same experience.

    Be good for those that couldn’t make it to a show as well. Could potentially have a whole larger audience. Like Slab said would really need to be pushed and advertised.

    Just a thought. Maybe it would be better to do it on YouTube. Make it a Crappie.com site. SK with his new videos, which are nice, I think shows the way for it to be done. He could help guide, whoever was going to run it how to be done. To do it here, there is no video platform for it. No I'm not volunteering either, as that is way beyond me, lol. Sorry SK, for mentioning your name.

    Slab, you might want to pitch it to the vendors, if they would be on board.

    Steve Douglas, AKA The Catfish Dude, is holding a virtual conference this year on Feb. 27th online for the catfish community. Maybe Slab could contact him and get some ideas as to how and if to proceed with one for C.C?

Check it out...Click on this ... Fish-Eat-Live - YouTube Also when looking at a sponsor channel, be sure to subscribe to their You Tube....It does not cost a thing to do that and it will help them. Support those that support us !
