Skeptic Turned Fishing Fanatic Hooks Consumers with Ice-Fishing-Focused Blog
Momence, IL (PRWEB) January 21, 2010 -- For the past 27 years, Diane Huizenga has basked in the simple pleasures of fishing - both in the open water and ice. With a dedication of one to two fishing expeditions per week, no one could have ever guessed that she started out as a skeptic, with a hint of repugnance.
"I married a fisherman (by hobby, not profession) and he coaxed me into fishing for my first time. After about six to eight months of practice, I finally let go of my unjustified negative outlook and began to enjoy it for its many simple pleasures," Huizenga said.
Now a full-blown fishing advocate, Huizenga has transformed her passion into a prosperous online business, www.FishTiger.net, which provides equipment, apparel and accessories for both open-water and ice fishing to other enthusiasts, or first timers, nationwide.
"Some people make fishing a chore; for me, it's enjoyment and quality time with my family," she said. "I love its all-encompassing nature: the birds, the frogs, the live bait and the tug of your line, which floods you with a wonderful excitement."
For excitement of your very own, shoppers are encouraged to frequent the Web site as Huizenga will continue to update her inventory with new merchandise. Just on the horizon is an assortment of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and high-tech fish finders. Isn't technology grand?
"As a female ice fisher, I've only ever seen one other woman in my journeys, which should give my Web site and blog a fresh perspective," Huizenga said.
Additionally, she plans to provide company product reviews, in comparison to her personal reviews, on her newly formulated blog, www.FishTigerBlog.com.
Whether you're looking to snag that 40-pound carp (one of Huizenga's proudest accomplishments) or take your children fishing for the first time (she recommends blue gill fishing), FishTiger.net will provide you with all of the necessary resources to promise a good time.
