Welcome to the first installment of the member Spotlight Interview. This is the place where each month readers can come and learn a little something about our members, who they are, what they do, what they think about topics of interest, and the like. The idea came about from Mike, Laurie, and myself while a discussion of interviews of angling pro’s was on-going. Pro-angler interviews are prevalent on most web-sites, television, radio, and newspapers. However, UltimateBass is a web-site for anglers by anglers, so why not interview our own anglers. From our most sponsored angler, to our sponsors, right on to our weekend anglers, Everyone has a story. This month we meet Fishforfree, Scott Rauber. Scott became a member of UltimateBass back on February 13, 2005. He has been an active posting member, web-site sponsor, UltimateBass Club Shootout sponsor, and a creative member with great ideas for the site. Being in a small business, Scott can tell you from experience that it isn’t easy at times, but with hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude, success is achievable. Dave: Scott, first of all I want to thank you for this opportunity to ask a few questions and have some interaction with you, and I would also like to thank you for your support of UltimateBass. Dave: How old are you (if you want to give it that is) Dave: What state are you originally from? Dave: What one most influential person would you like to meet and fish with? Dave: When did you start fishing for bass as a tournament angler? Dave: What is your greatest weakness and how do you plan on improving this (fishing related)? Dave: whats your favorite fishing technique? i.e.: bait/presentation, equipment, time of year, depth, etc.. Dave: tell us about your family. Dave: What professional organizations do you belong to? Dave: What is your formal educational background? Do you have any degrees or specialty education? Dave: What is one ideal job you would like to have, other than the one you have now? Dave: what is a long term goal and what are you doing to achieve it? Dave: How long have you been in the Marketing Promotion business? Dave: I take it that your business isn’t limited to fishing or fishing related fields..what other businesses can you service? Dave: Did you have a business plan at the start, and if so, do you feel it was an important part of your success? Dave: How much has the internet impacted your business? Dave: As far as book HOW TO GET SPONSORED FOR FISHING TOURNAMENTS, Dave: Besides the book, what other services do you (or your company) offer? Dave: How can someone obtain your book? Dave: How important are promotional items such as pens, caps, cups, etc., for a business, and would this be a good idea for a new business? Dave: Who has helped you succeed in your endeavors the most? Dave: How do you like the UltimateBass web-site so far? Dave: What have you gained from being a member? Dave: If a movie about your life was made, who would you most want to play the part of you? Dave: I heard through the grapevine that you may be coming to the UltimateBass Club Shootout in June, is this true? Dave: if your were to make it and fish the tournament, What team would you like to be associated with? (You don’t have to answer if you would rather not) I want to thank Scott for the opportunity again to be able to talk with him (via the internet). I enjoyed the questioning and looked forward to the replies each time. I have to apologize up front, this took a few more weeks than I had anticipated, and I am at fault for this. Scott was a good subject and was very easy going on some of the questions. If you have any ideas or questions that you would like to have asked, send me a message or an e-mail at any time. You can reach me by looking at my member profile. Thank you for reading and until next month.....Fair winds and Following seas.... Dave the Dope Man |
