Thread: Great Job Jim

What’s so good about old news? That article I read just now about Slabmasters was about a tourney you had in August and since then 2 more tournaments in Sept. what was the results for Sept? It’s now Oct. 10th. Kudos to those that fished and placed in August.

just advertisement for them im guessing cevans. isnt there a slabmasters section at the top for this stuff? :/

You,would think that the Indiana Slabmasters would have annual write ups of each tournament on Indiana,s forum section as it would build up their winners egos a bit. It might build up their membership as well. And they could give their Sponsors a plug as well as show them they are advertising their products more and maybe pick up more sponsons too. Believe me, the more press you give each tourney, and post a couple of pics of the winners and fishies, the more benefits you develop out of it. But, what do I know? I am not knocking the Gadabout as it is what it is, old news by the time it gets printed and sent out. Still a good read however.

Your right. It’s a well run tournament trail that also calls itself a club. What I am saying is, you could build it if you did better press releases and postings vs. all but 2 month old news that would benefit your members as well as the forum.

i agree with you cevans. i remember looking into it when it started. i looked for tourney results to see what the lakes were capable of producing. i became frustrated at the lack of info on the results.

i just looked into it again, while posting this. you have to download a pdf to see results? never mind. <-- some of what he is talking about maybe? make it easy to check out and more will do so.

why don't they create a position like a publicist to post pics and results for everything to keep their page up dated?

if you go to Crappie Crazy, under tournament trails as well as clubs, Indiana Slab Masters is listed as “Indiana Slab Masters—Indiana’s Premiere Crappie Toirnament Trail”. Any time money is involved, even if run as a club, they are afraid to educate anybody and keep pretty much tight lipped as money is involved. Still, you get the publicity out, and it will build and benefit its members and sponsors. That is a proven fact. It pretty much stays at 45 teams and maybe that is the way they want it. I guess that why nothing much if anything is ever posted on the Indiana forum, but what do I know.
