What to say…

Today is the start of a new era and a celebration 18 years past. SalmonCrazy was a idea that was spawned from the love of the sport of salmon fishing on the Lake Ontario tributaries. My dad began by taking me North when I was around 12 years old. I am 30 now, married with a beautiful wife a nice house and my trusty sidekick Bailey. Never would I have thought that the bug that my dad gave me nearly 18 years ago would have turned into what is the present day SalmonCrazy Nation.

We have come a long way baby… back in 2002 I got this great idea to start a small site to publish my photos of my trips to Pulaski. Well one thing led to another, and another, and another… and here we are. 2007 is the 5 year anniversary of SalmonCrazy and to mark that anniversary I am rolling out a finely tuned new version of the site. To some it may just be a facelift… but alas the devil is in the details. Behind the scenes SC Nation is now a finely tuned machine. Running on the latest and also customized content management system and forum backbone available. Everything has been rebuilt with the notion of a steady roll-out of features in the coming weeks. First you will see the facelift and the new features and look of the forum, but before long our robust gear reviews will be rolled out. We have also been partnering with vendors for some fun stuff in the near future. Its an exciting time for me and the staff and I am glad you guys are along for the ride.

Lastly, just so you guys can get a feel for how we’ve grown in 2003 we had 7690 unique visitors for the year, in 2004 we had 34253, 2005 brought a steady uptick at 83,510, 2006 was 93325 and lastly I wouldn’t have believed it had I just now checked it… with 3 months left for the year 2007 SalmonCrazy.com has seen 102,853 unique visitors cross its doors. Well everyone we truely are a ‘Nation’ now. Stand proud, Yell FISH ON! and May Your Lines Be Tight And Nets Heavy!
