09.17.20 Process + Process + Process

What the process am I talking about? Sorry, I couldn\’t help myself.

Process, organization and logistics is creamy center within Fish Village. These processes are what creates smooth customer experiences and experiences of a lifetime. Without our processes, we have very little to offer.

Trip providers rely on us to be organized, invoice, collect payments and disburse funds in a timely manner. None of this is possible if we didn\’t have our ducks in a row. The same goes for customers… we cannot provide a seamless experience for the customer without having our processes down.

Our educational and professional backgrounds vary from finance, operations, logistics, advanced analytics and of course technology. This blend of skillsets makes for a powerful team. This team combines our technology platform, processes and commitment to rigor as a means to provide the best fishing experiences out there.

Why mention this? Because this is the Fish Village advantage!

08.05.20 Getting real about the impacts of COVID

\"\"

I write this with respect to everyone out there dealing with the impacts of COVID. As many of you already know, 2020 has been a rough year so far and we don\’t anticipate that it will get much better for quite some time.

What does that mean to Fish Village?

We have dealt with huge financial losses, major opportunities lost, disappointed customers, over 50+ refunds and nearly 100 trip cancellations. None of this compares to our friends and families that are struggling to put food on the table. Knowing people are suffering makes it hard to focus on our business.

Is Fish Village throwing in the towel? NO FREAKING WAY!

Our business is adapting to the changes and preparing for what could be a record breaking 2021 season. COVID has created opportunities to strengthen our internal processes, our technology and our internal team bonds. Though we may have had tremendous losses, we did not lose everything during the COVID pandemic, instead we took the opportunity to get better.

Fish Village will be back with the same great locations as before PLUS new domestic locations that are a road trip or short plane ride away.

Thank you for your support over the years and especially during this pandemic.

04.03.20 Our initial response to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic is something that has affected us all, and while it is certain we have some difficult days ahead of us we would like to reaffirm our commitment to you, our loyal and trusted customer. There are current travel restrictions throughout the world in response to this public health emergency we are currently facing, however, there are no current impacts to the Fish Village trips schedule for the summer of 2020. We are continuously monitoring the situation and will immediately communicate any emergent issue that could affect the status of any out trip.

01.16.20 Our village has grown

We wanted to make a big splash this year and show the industry that we mean business. We wanted to provide opportunities for some that are just getting started in the industry and we wanted to pair up with some leaders as well. Well… I kinda think we nailed it!

We were absolutely blown away with the 70 + applications submitted. After heavy deliberation we landed on 18 fishing team members. Isn\’t that nuts?

Our team grew from a handful to a proper village sized fishing team. We have people from all over the United States and internationally with a few blokes from Australia and New Zealand. And to top it off… we have members of our US military on our team. So much to look forward to in 2020.
