Your On The Hook With Dave Mercer of Facts Of Fishing

 

Once again the generosity never ceases to amaze me. I contacted Dave Mercer who is the host of television’s Facts of Fishing through Twitter where I follow him. The massage read, “Hey Dave, I started new Blog interviewing fishing personalities, could I have five min of your time when you are at Bass Pro Calgary. Thx” Not too long after Dave replied to my message saying, “Sure did you want to meet me at 12:30 up stairs at the BPS offices. That should give us time before my 1 pm seminar”.

A few messages back and forth and we were all set for the interview. I arrived at Bass Pro Shops Calgary, with camera and tri-pod in hand eager to sit and chat with Dave about fishing and his television show. In the interview I stated that “your never to big to give back to the people that follow you” refering to our messages we exchanged and all the messages I see him respond to on his Facebook page and his Blog page. Dave pointed out that it’s “not him giving back, it’s just common courtesy”. I fully agree watching the interview back. I know I respond to all my comments and e-mails on my sites and that is an important part of keeping people interested and coming back year after year. Common courtesy indeed!

I am truly grateful for Dave taking the time out of his busy schedule and talking with me. I’m sure I will get to chat with Dave again sometime in the near future. Please watch as Dave Mercer talks with us about fishing and his television show.

Your On The Hook With Jim Hoey

Jim Hoey of the Dimestore Fisherman

I was up at Bass Pro Shop today to seek out my first interview for the website. A few major fishing personalities were on hand to provide demo’s and do some meet and greets with the customers of Bass Pro Shops. For those who don’t now Bass Pro has their Spring Fishing Classic on now so please go up and check it out.

I was very fortunate to meet with a local Calgary television fishing personality named Jim Hoey. Jim runs his own television show called “The Dimestore Fisherman”. I approached Jim and filled him in on what our new site was about and its purpose. I must say Jim was very accommodating and gladly offered to be interviewed for “Your on the Hook”. We made our way over to the cafeteria where I sat down with Jim and asked him a few fishing related questions.

I want to thank Jim for taking the time out of his busy day to be with us here on “Your On The Hook”. Please listen in to our interview as Jim Hoey is now on the hook.
