We have talked about putting together a business card that members could carry with them and hand out to other musky fishermen that they meet on the water or anywhere else they run into them. I volunteer to start putting together ideas of what should be on the card. My wife does some good graphic design and would help lay it out. I have listed some ideas below and some things to think about and please post any ideas you may have.
Remember:
-All the info must fit on a business card and must be legible to people over the age of 40
-The message should be positive
Ideas:
-Explain why catch and release is important
-Some info about MMA and website address should be on it
-Give some tips on how to release a musky
What else?
I brought this up to Ed cause I had a guy Wed from Swanton, OH. at Hudson and we talked alot about Muskies. I must have sounded like an idiot because I told him to go to MMA.org about 10 times. If they look at the site and see what were trying to do, hopefully they will join. Will & Ed you guy's know what to put on those cards better than me.
We can have fun with this! Did you know- If you thought you were a good fisherman, muskies will show you the truth. Did you know- the biggest fish you probably have ever caught wouldn't even be a "legal" musky. Did you know- half the lures in your box cost as much as only a few musky baits. Did you know- if you like to practice casting you'll love musky fishing. Did you know- if you can't afford a gym membership you can just cast double tens all day. Who wants to join in? Oh, by the way, I am absolutely crazily addicted to musky fishing!

remember it is a business card size, you don't want to overwhelm these people with a ton of info. Leave them wanting more, and becoming interested in our site.
I agree. With the "Did you know", maybe a
-"Did you know that muskies are the apex predator in the freshwater system?" or
-"Did you know that with the right tools & knowledge, the fish of 10,000 casts can become the fish of just 1 well-placed,well-timed cast?" or
-"Did you know that contrary to popular belief, bass & walleye are not high on the muskie menu? To see what is, go to <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]
