I guess this post is a little self serving.  Of course posting about ones life even if it for the interest of others is at best an exercise in restrained ego.  Nonetheless, I've just launched a side project I've been working on for quite some time - BookACharter.com - a website that lists fishing guides and saltwater charters.

Sadly, its not going to change the world or turn stone to bacon, but its my sincerest hope that it will help make fishing a little more popular and a little easier to do when traveling around.  The idea is a simple one.  Punch in where you want to fish and what you want to fish for.  The site will then tell you who can take you fishing and give you details about all the guides and charters.  A simple concept to be sure, but it took me nearly 3 years to get the code right and the design in order.

I haven't been working on this alone either.  The idea actually originated from my business partner Marc who has helped bring this site into being and kept pushing us forward when I really just wanted to quit and do something simpler.  My hats off to him and my best hopes that his marketing chops bring the site into fruition (and make us a few extra bucks in the process).

It will be a little while before we have enough guides and charters on the site to really make it shine, but next time your planning a vacation or just get the bug to catch that fish of a lifetime give bookacharter.com a look.  After all, unless you've caught a car-sized marlin in Cabo, seen a Tarpon take flight Florida or landed a barn-door halibut in Alaska - you haven't really lived.

So check out the site if you get a chance.  I'd love to see some comments on what people think of it, and if you're really feeling generous you can toss a link on your blog/homepage/website/cat/dog/whatever - that would help a lot!
