Andros FIBFest 2011

Andros FIBFest 2011
Typical blogger's office - this week, at least.

It’s time for FIBFest!

This week at Andros South we’re hosting a great lineup of folks who write about fishing online.  Here’s the plan: we’re all going to go fishing, and write about it online.  FIB stands for Fishing Industry Bloggers, and is in no way a reflection of the tendency of anglers to get creative with the truth.

Following Along

We’ll keep this page updated during the week with updates on the action on South Andros.  We’ll maintain a section down below with links to all the FIBFest content that our attendees post.

We’ll have lots of updates on our Facebook page.

If you really want the blow-by-blog you can see Twitter updates from all of at the FIBFest Twitter List.

The Lineup

Please help us welcome this star-studded lineup to Andros South.

  • Rebecca Garlock – The Outdooress and The Outdoor Blogger Network
  • Michael Gracie – michaelgracie.com
  • Tom Larimer – Larimer Outfitters
  • Kyle Perkins – Compleat Thought
  • Eric Rathbun – Moldy Chum
  • Bjorn Stromsness – Bonefish on the Brain
