Greetings,

I'm looking to create a pitch for a potential sponsor that is not currently involved in the fishing industry.  I'd like to be able to talk to the size, health, and $$ opportunities of the bass fishing market in general, to give the potential sponsor an idea of the opportunities for thier products.

I'm struggling with putting together information on the above because most information that is considered unbiased costs big $$.  There are lots of quotes I could pull off of the internet that could paint a picture, but i'm not sure how accurate they are.  If any of you have put something together about the size of the bass fishing industry and are willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks...gjarman

Welcome to the forum.        You might try the Resume section for some excellant tips, located just under the tournament section I do believe.

good luck and again, Welcome to the best information site on the Web.

Thanks,  I just found this forum today.  I usually frequent texasfishingforum.com, but this looks like a great forum to participate in.  I'll see if I can figure out how to move it to the resume section.

I've got to think that BASS and FLW could at least give you some general info regarding their reach and demographics.  Have you tried contacting either?

I haven't tried to ask FLW and BASS yet, but I may have to.  I went to the Library yesterday and there is just not much consolidated information on this market.  You can find info on boat manufacturers, and some tackle manufacturers, though many are private.  I could not find any reference material that gives decent information on the health and size of the market as a whole.  Thanks for the reply!
