Hello everyone!  WOW, with 2 recent hurricanes, no electricity for over 2 1/2 weeks, no internet connection for almost a month (deep breath) and a recent temporary move – things have been CRAZY!  I hope that everyone is doing o.k. from all of the devistating storms that we recently had – especially those of us in the Texas/Louisiana area.

I’d like to start by saying that I am so sorry for the delay in the newsletter, but here I am and we’re back in business!  :0)  This month’s newsletter will mainly focus on catching up, winners of our last newletter promotion and where we’re going from here…..

LET’S “CATCH” UP!

First, I am so proud to announce that Reel Girls Fish! was recently profiled in “The Email Diva’s” monthly blog!  The Email Diva is a fashion marketing expert – so needless to say, I was so honored when I found out that Reel Girls Fish! was mentioned on her site!  If you have a chance please take a moment to check it out at http://blog.emaildiva.net/2008/08/reel-girls-has-gumption

In October we had the Berkley Bass Tournament and as usual, a good time was had by all!  Even though I didn’t get to fish that one (I was busy getting products into stores – see below), I had the most wonderful “high” and then the fastest bubble burst, in about a 20 minute span!!!  See, my dad (I know this is supposed to be about us women but I was so proud) came in on the last day with 20 minutes left in the tournament with a $40+ thousand dollar fish!!!  Yes – talk about exciting!!  Then, just 11 minutes to go for the tournament to end another person walked up with a fish that was just hundreds of an ounce heavier!  WOW – talk about a quick bubble burst!!  But it was fun while it lasted!!  Those of you who fish tournaments know exactly what I’m talking about!

With all of the recent chaos, the website was put on hold for a bit, but changes will be up “REEL” soon.  We are in the process of incorporating a full saltwater line and I am so excited about the way it is turning out.

On another note, I’d love to announce that Reel Girls Fish! has been added to 3 new stores in the Texas – Lake Fork area.  If you are ever in the area, please visit them at:

Froggy D’s – Hwy. 17, Alba, Texas (903) 765-2513
Lake Fork Resort – 5004 N. Hwy. 17, Alba, Texas (903) 765-2987
Scenic 515 Cabins – 8372 W. FM 515, Yantis, Texas (903) 383-7885

AND THE WINNERS ARE: (drum roll please…..)

The winners of our last newsletter promotion are:

1st Place – Clarissa Rebollar
2nd Place – Kathi Gibson
3rd Place – Diane Murray

WHERE WE’RE GOING FROM HERE:

With the cold weather approaching and the holidays right around the corner, we fall into a “slow season” for fishing.  We are currently working on several new items for the upcoming season and 2009 is looking great.  Please keep your eye out for our line in stores around town and remember to check the website regularly as we are making significant changes!

Happy Holidays!

Denise

   Hello Nikki, how are you? I do have more recent newsletters posted on the website homepage and in the newsletter section, but the blog section is new. My website was recently updated and a few of the old newsletter were put in that section to fill it the space until I started blogging. I just posted my first blog, so that section will be updated very soon. Thanks for writing and I’m glad you liked the old newsletter you read. :0) I am also glad that you liked the products. Keep checking in, I try to keep everything as current as possible but sometimes fishing gets in the way! LOL!!!
