1. What was(were) the specific reason(s) for your most recent visit?

Cause you asked for feedback!

1. Were you able to easily find the information you were looking for?

I was just browsing, so wasn't looking for much specifically...see below.

1. Other than what we currently provide, what other types of information could we provide?

Maybe a list of local (NE, IA, KS) lakes that have muskie living in them, and some sort of info regarding how large of fish could be there, when they began stocking there, when they were last stocked there? (most of that can be found on the NGPC site, but a handy list of lakes may be good. A beginner's guide to muskie fishing of some kind...again, that can probably be found on the Muskies, Inc. board through a little searching...just throwing out ideas.

1. Have you seen another website which has features which we might also include?

NEFGA has a great muskie forum that I love!

1. Have you experienced any problems or "issues" with our site?

Not sure what I need for the Roundtable, maybe a brief explanation of it or how to join it?

1. Do you have any other ideas or suggestions for improvement?

Pictures of muskie...lots of them...

1. May I contact you via email, if I have questions regarding your answers or, to further explore your ideas> If so, please PM me with your email address.

sure, PM sent!

Brian,
I am out of town for ten days. That should give me time to put together some thoughts. I think there is substantial room for improvement here. If the international is going through us for online meetings we should have a more dynamic site. I will e-mail the ideas to you directly. I need to know how we get the stuff on the net once we have it ready.

The "roundtable" is basically a secure chat server, on which we host monthly, online meetings for Muskies, Inc. chapter's officers who are scattered across the midwest...



Thanks for the input.

Ogrefish -

I'll be in Billings through Tuesday night. Let me know when you get back and I'll give you a call.

For something such as an article, I'd suggest emailing me the text of the article, along with any pictures.

If you're really brave (and careful), I can allow you direct access to the server.
