There’s little I dislike more than getting a text notification that our site is down. Our techs have determined that the site was experiencing a series of Denial Of Service attacks. The dreaded DOS? So we upgraded our firewall and made a few other tweaks. I’m not one that believes in coincidence, and I find it very strange that our particular server was chosen over all of their servers. Our host is convinced this was targeted. Hopefully we’re covered. ????

I figured out the issue George. Your "General" isn't at his best on Monday mornings so he just bolluxes things up until he has enough coffee to see straight!! ;) ;) ;)

I assure you that if it were up to the General we would have counter-attacked by now.

I have decided to move us to a new host. It's a huge undertaking as we have over 31-site there that I just paid to have migrated over, but I can't handle the stress of the sites going down. I moving my eggs to separate baskets.

I signed the hosting agreement this morning and I will have a schedule on the move soon. I was hoping before the usual Monday morning DOS attack, but I doubt that will happen.

I'm also excited about the new design. There will be some adjusting, very little actually, and you folks will have a preview before we go live with it.

I also want you to know that the local industry has been very supportive of us and they are the first point of contact with anglers.

I have also assembled a team of younger anglers that have heavy FB and Instagram followings, and they too will be joining the team in the near future.

Thanks again for your support and I look forward to our first meetup.
