The BTBFF Software Update is Done!

Jan 22, 2012 - The BTBFF.com software upgrade is finally done. Things took a bit longer than expected, mostly due to having to put together our own photo gallery (be sure to check out the new format!).

We hopefully won't have to do that again for a while! There is some fallout from the upgrade, however, and we will be launching a contest shortly for everyone who helps us do a little post-migration cleanup.

After we're done tying up loose ends, we'll be rolling out some new look-and-feel changes, plus adding more content (at last!).

THANKS again for your continued support!

BTB Seminars at the Pasadena FF Show

Calico Bass

Beyond The Breakwater will be doing two seminars ("Nearshore and Offshore Opportunities") at the Pasadena FF Show, Feb 19-20.

We are scheduled for 11:00a on Saturday, and 10:00a on Sunday, both in Destination Theater Room B. Plus I'll be hanging out at the show, most likely in the FFF booth.

This is a high-level intro overview of what you can expect when fishing the kelp beds and offshore: what you'll catch, equipment needs, resources like guides, etc., and is meant for the fly-fisherman who doesn't know exactly where to start.

I know there are a lot of other great seminars going on, but to tempt you into attending this one, I am having the following giveaways:

Hope to see you there!
