GoFISHn Fishing Outing

Now, let me preface this by saying that this is in no way intended to be a bragging session.  In late 2010, I participated in a contest on GoFISHn.  The angler with the best posts would win a day with a member guide, with guide fees covered by GoFISHn.  I was lucky enough to put together a selection of fishing reports, photos, videos and gear reviews to win the contest and was honored with the title of GoFISHn Angler of the Year.  OK so maybe there is a little bit of bragging involved.

I gave it some thought and decided that I wanted to keep the business local and fish with Tony Gugino of Tony's Salmon Country Guide Service in Pulaski.  I went to high school with Tony and have fished with him quite a bit lately and always have a blast.  And, let's be honest, if I hadn't started fishing with Tony I would never have learned what I know now and had the opportunity to report on all these successful fishing outings to the folks on GoFISHn.  I'd like to think that I'm a quick study and do have some propensity for angling, but the process has certainly been expedited by hanging around Mr. Gugino.

After I was notified by GoFISHn editor, Brian McClintock, that I was the winner I decided to put a bug in his ear about coming up to Pulaski to fish.  As it turns out it didn't take much persuasion, both Brian and GoFISHn founder, Ned Desmond, decided to come up to fish with Tony and I.

I have a good time every time I put my waders on and get the rod out of the truck.  But, this particular outing is really exciting for me!  Both Ned and Brian have been up to Pulaski to fish with Tony, but I've never met them and I'm pretty stoked to have the opportunity to fish with these gentlemen. 

Be on the lookout for reports from Friday April 1 and Saturday April 2 on GoFISHn.  The odds are pretty good there will some high quality fish, photos, stories and maybe some video from this outing.  This just goes to show that all you really need to do is go out and do what you love to do, share those experiences with others and it will pay off in the end!
