Happy New Year Anglers

Blog by: Matt Snider , CO 12/31/2023 (Return to blogs)
Happy new year everyone, here's to a great 2024! I hope your next 365 days are filled with fishing trips that'll make excellent stories for years to come, and also good times with friends, family and plenty of beautiful big fish.

Get your last picks in for the 2023 Winter Giveaway today.  We'll be meeting next week to pick winners and will announce them here in my blog soon thereafter.  Winners will also be notified by email, so keep an eye out! I hope you win something!

2024 will be a good one here at FishExplorer as plenty is in the works to revamp the platform a bit. Someday in the not-too-distant future we'll roll out changes designed to make the site better on phones and will include some new features. Basically cleaning up shop.

That's keeping me pretty busy and I haven't been getting a lot of time fishing, but hoping to get a bit of ice fishing in soon. It seems to have been a busy year for most people I know.  I hope it lets up and we can all get a bit more recreation and relaxation in.  A little window of good ice closer to home would sure be nice and make it easier to get out!

Please post some good ice fishing pics to the gallery so I, and all the others who are tied up with non-fishing things, can live vicariously through you!  And while you're at it go flip through the photos from this past year, review forum posts and reports, and give a "fins-up" for ones you enjoy or find helpful.

Again I want to thank you for your support of FishExplorer. As we approach our 18th anniversary this spring I am excited for what's to come. It wouldn't be possible without you, the reports, the stories, the photos, the research, and all else that makes FishExplorer go around. 

Get out fishing, stay safe, and celebrate the ball drop wisely tonight!

An advocate of alternative fly fishing and fisheries preservation, Matt is an avid wiper and muskie fisherman traveling with boat in tow in pursuit of these hard-to-find fish. If a fish is willing to eat something, his bet is that it will eat a fly...
