Captain Morgan and Co.....Dude, seriously you are speaking out of turn mate! Firstly, MNET do not pay us for shows, as with virtually every other sports show out there...We pay the broadcaster!! Secondly, the majority of our tackle is not free of charge, and has built in values etc with sponsors. Yamaha does supply us with our boat and we do have sponsored vehicles but take a second to consider the running costs of a fleet of vehicles travelling back and forth over long distances!!!!! Personally driving a large 4L vehicle and a boat for fishing trip after fishing trip adds up very quickly!!!!
Regarding magazine....We would love to not have had a hiccup with our publication, but we did have some issues with our previous publishers, and trust me, it is a hell of a mission to get going again with new publishers. You would be shocked to hear the actual costs assosciated with running a magazine such as ours...In fact what may shock you even more is the fact that the magazine (although it has potential to do so) often runs at a loss, covered by the business!!!! We had an option to cut such a loss, but we believe in what we are doing and continued to find a way forward!!
It shocks me to even have to write this explanation....We visit sealine regularly to contribute in a positive manner and ask questions so we can all learn together and reading a comment like yours is tough not to take to heart man! Yes, we arent scared to admit our failiures and im sure more will follow but i suppose in such a virgin industry, its the only way to learn and grow as individuals, anglers and a business!
Thanks again to all the guys out there for all the support!!!
