This is the first and if it work will be produced quarterly if I can keep up tell me what you think.

Looks good to me.
A little wonky trying to read it in the landing pane, but it presents well.

Jeff,
I like it, but maybe a direct .doc download for us? Easier on my old eyes.

I'm new here and would like to say everyone is friendly, helpful, and above all quite courteous, which can be hard to find.

Thanks to all who post here

Thanks I will be working on this newsletter and tyry to make it better for all this is my first attempt. But I do want this to be something that members will see more often.

Looks great, I like the simple layout, especially the newest sponsor(s) right on top!
It would be nice to have a short about the new sponsor (maybe they can write it themselves introducing their product to us? followed with one or two short reviews by members?)
Also, since it's quarterly, how about a section focusing on a couple of fishing techniques/ideas that are successful for that quarter?
How about a small section of body of water highlights where one body of water can be showcased to everyone else by those that tube there? Honey holes and the likes aren't needed, just describing the fish, structure and pointers of fishing there.

This is great Idea Jeff Thanks....

Great ideas. The quarterly fishing thing is a good'un.

Maybe something about alternate uses for float tubes-and-toons might interest the readers.
Or some pieces on essential gear.
Maybe clubs and users in different parts of the country could be included.

Nice thanks for the information bro. I will start looking into some of these ideas for the next one. I also have made a separate but simpler one for our sponsors that will also receive a newsletter. It will be geared to there needs. Forum stat's and high lights, on word and up word.

May I also suggest... since it's quarterly maybe we can have FTFF quarterly group fishing event?

When I was with the Turner's rod and reel club we had monthly tournament outings (different locations) with a point system for angler of the year maybe we can do something like that but with it being quarterly?

It doesn't even have to be a tourney it can just be a gathering to fish a location. Kind of like a meet and greet.

Cool maybe we can make that work.

Convert it to a PDF so everyone can read it at the size that is most comfortable for them but you don't loose the formatting.
If that's a problem for you send it to me and I will do it for you, verify that it kept the correct formatting and send it back to you to post and send.

I have not figured out how to post a PDF maybe I will make it into a jpeg that might work.

Maybe think more along the lines of hosting the PDF on your server via a link instead of posting it directly into a forum topic like you would a picture.
