Thanks for mentioning it Jason, really glad you like it enough to care to, and sorry to everyone else for my not coming over to reply earlier, but i've only just been notified.
Idler's Quest is doing really well at the moment and its audience is climbing very rapidly, which keeps me going at it! It's also good to see more and more blogs coming along too. I'll link to any that I know of, so if you have one, or a website of any other kind that is fishing related then please let me know of it, and I'll send custom your way by linking off my sidebar.
pm me for my email if need be
The audience for internet based angling content seems to be soaring of late, after a long period of stagnation over the previous twelve months. I don't quite know why the audience has increased so well, but it may be a general dissatisfaction with the trad press and their overt commercialisation of every single word published in an article simply alienating people? It drives me to distraction, so it must drive many others away, surely?
I like blogs so much that I rarely read anything else these days. And it's because they are mostly driven by anglers who relate their honest, personal experiences of what are in the main, quite ordinary fishing exploits -- but important ones that focus upon what really matters (to me!) which is getting out there in all weathers and just trying to catch fish rather than slogging and trying to achieve, what are for the majority, quite unrealistic targets.
That they fail more often than not and still insist on telling me through their blog is all to the good, so do I! So do we all. Blanks are far more common than the trad press would like anyone to believe! They are the backbone of our common experience, in fact. Tell it like it is, I say!
Anyways, cheers for the mention, and thanks for those who have taken the time to take a look !
Jeff
