MTFC's New Commercial

We have finally completed our TV commercial which will be airing on Comcast channels in Northern Florida. I wanted to personally thank our good friend Captain Ed Dwyer from Ticket Charters for taking the time to be our spokesperson and for Mark Lewis from Tightline Productions for holding our hand through the process. Here is the new commercial, let us know what you think.

Custom Fish Replicas Versus Standard Fish Replicas

For many businesses the goal is to get the job in and out quick. The faster you can finish the job the quicker you can get paid right? I guess thats true but there's something to be said about creating custom fish replicas for the customer.

When a customer orders a fish replica off our website we always contact the customer asking them if they would like to send in a picture for us to reference when replicating. The standard paint customers are the quickest to create for we do nothing extra and paint our standard way of painting.

However the reward of seeing a customers reaction when we create a replica just as they remember it is truly special.

Dennis Bass caught his biggest sailfish out of Port Canaveral and asked us to do a replica. He asked that we paint it similar to the picture and cut the tears in the dorsal sail. When finished he was completely stoked and truly satisfied with his new replica. While the job took longer than the standard 84" Sailfish mount it sure was nice to feel the excitement he was feeling as he left the shop.

I guess the moral to the story is that standard can be more profitable but not necessarily as fulfilling.

Sometimes Its Good To Give, Especially To Local Fishing Events

Quite often we receive calls from tournament directors asking us to support their events. I can relate since I have been tournament director for many offshore tournaments over the past decade. However, it's impossible to give support to all of them. We do however try to support our local tournaments. We realize that without tournament sponsors the tournaments will have less to give, which will draw less anglers which in turn is less money spent throughout the marine community.

Two representatives of the TREASURE COAST FLATS CIRCUIT picked up a truck full of replicas that will be awarded to winners this upcoming weekend.

Congrats to Jeff Brauer and his team for another successful year.

Wahoo, Tuna & Sailfish In Bulgaria?

Well, not real ones. We recently shipped a large order of fish replicas to a hotel in Bulgeria. The owner is an avid fisherman and invites all fisherman to visit his hotel if in the area.

The following is a email we received from the hotel manager.

Hi, Mr. Denson,

The hotel is situated at the exit of our city – Sliven . It is meant to be something like motel or a small hotel along the highway which is directed to Black sea .
The building is not new and our company is renovating it. My boss is absolute fan of see accessories, fish, and boats. That’s why he owns a fish processing and commercial company.
I am sending a map where I marked out our city – Sliven and the hotel. The name is “Saint Nikola”. In Bulgarian religion, St Nikola is protector of seaman and boats.

That is our story in a few words.

Diana

Mr Denson,

We’ve got Replicas at Friday last week. My boss is happy to have them!

Thank you very much!
