For IBASSIN.com we also had a lot of good meetings with the right kind of people. Hopefully, this will help the blog go to the next step and continue to develop even stronger media for you bass heads.

Here is what is in store for the rest of July:

  • videos
  • ICAST News and Views
  • editorial on new products
  • tournament news
  • "A Day on the Water" in video format 

plus a lot more.

Remember to give us a "thumbs up" on Facebook and keep up with our Youtube channel.
