To Hell with Stimulus. Let's go Fishing!

Perhaps the country would be better off, if more people were engaged in outdoor sporting!

Fishing for example generates 45 Billion Dollars in sales, from 40 Million people who fish in the United States each year (based on 2006 figures). That same 45 Billion has an economic impact of 125 Billion! To hell with a stimulus package - let's just get more people out fishing!

This industry creates almost a million jobs. Plus, another 1.2 Billion in conservation money. That said, the fishing industry is the number one money generator for conservation purposes. A free market system, supporting efforts to sustain itself. Now that is the way it should be!

The included file has tons of great detail about the economic impact of fishing in the United States! Read on.

First Crawlers of 2010 Have Shipped!

Just yesterday, our first shipment of Canadian Crawlers came in - and made their way right back out. We were able to get just enough in to satisfy those customers that had pre-ordered Crawlers for immediate delivery. Next week, we plan to have more available! So, head on over to www.jewelloutdoors.com/store to place your order today.

This is a good sign! In all the years my family is doing this, March 23rd is the earliest we have ever shipped live bait. In some ways, its risky because the temperatures can get cold, and you risk freezing your bait. However, it is a sign that we have had a warmer spring - and you'll be out on the water catching Walleye and Bass before you know it!

We want to see what you're catching! So please join the Jewell Outdoors Community at http://jewelloutdoors.ning.com or post a pic on one of our facebook pages. The more you share your love for the sport of fishing - the more it makes others realize what they are missing!

Bobbers Down!

JB Lures Now Part of the Line Up

You have no idea how excited I was when our first box of JB Lures product showed up on my door step the other day. I had called Tom, the CEO of JB Lures, and asked him to put together a box of items that go nicely with live bait. Since our current service is so much geared toward live bait, I wanted to focus on things like Crawler and Leech harnesses. Tom at JB Lures did a fantastic job! We are now rocking a line up of one and three hook harnesses, The Ventilator, and More - even some slip bobber stoppers.
For a full line up of what we are now carrying - shoot on over to the online store: www.jewelloutdoors.com/store

The reason I was so excited is that this means, finally, after great yearning to be something more - we are growing. We're no Cabelas or Bass Pro, but we're making a splash in the fishing bait market. And in some ways, we're actually doing it better than some of the big guys. Thanks JB Lures for helping make it happen!

Really Governor Granholm? Meatout day!? Ridiculous!

via agwired.com

Sometimes our government leaders just need to keep their traps shut. We must realize the impact of our words. And in an already struggling economy, worse in Michigan than many states, their very own governor slaps agriculture producers in the face. This is a dumb use of a legislative proclamation.

So, on March 20th - which was declared Michigan Meatout Day, I urge you to cook a steak. Eat a fish. If nothing else, grill up some hot dogs...and ENJOY!

Just in case you're thinking she needs to be fair to all that she represents - be advised that this proclamation was brought about by an Animal Rights Activist group, intentionally as an attack on National Ag Day!

Leech Traps Going In THIS WEEK!

Just talked with the Head Leech - up in Minnesota. Things are melting mighty fast! So fast right now in fact, that he is putting leech traps in the local golf course pond already this week! This might be the earliest year on record that we have leeches available for sale. We'll just have to see what happens during the back half of March.

Why the golf course pond? Its kind of a funny place to trap leeches - or so one would think. However, for some reason this tiny little body of water seems to be teeming with the little suckers. There are so many in fact, that they clog up the fountain that the course manager puts out. So, the let Dad in to catch the little guys out....not sure if he gets a discount on membership or not!

Until you hear the official word, the contest is not yet over at http://jewelloutdoors.ning.com. Visit the forum on that site for more details. In fact, if you haven't been there yet, we'd love to have your join our little community! We'd love to have you be part of it.
