bronson Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 any thoughts on this site and air bnb potential? air is growing and we may all benefit ....I haven't thought this thru but consider air as a bst area or something. I'm a host of a simple bnb folks can walk to the beach ....and I know others on this site are in similar situations. an example of a possibility is swapping or trading tackle for nights...the one on my mind is oct nov here on obx great fishing and lots of empty rooms....imo b pretty cool if sol members could bst or even just post what they got so other members could support them and know there going to a fishing friendly environment. air also has these experiences ....ie folks pay for like guided things.....so if say it was set up a noob to beach driving could b set up w an experience of orv trip....or a noob wants to try a heaver .... folks could have a lot of fun with this.

bronson Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm already laughing about a tavern air bnb edition. DZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I also run an Airbnb listing in Newport. I like the potential. Maybe Tim will chime in. I've had very few fishermen stay with me but those that did loved it. I'm 5 minutes from the open surf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronPA Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm not on air bnb yet, but plan to be next year. Got a little guest house on the Susquehanna river, and figure maybe I can generate some extra income.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishless Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I love this idea. I use VRBO and have a reservation up in the finger lakes set for a week from this Thur but would switch over to keep within the SOL community.

TimS Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Someone is gonna need to walk me through this - what tie would there be between SOL and AirBnB? TimS Show someone how to catch striped bass and they'll be ready to fish anywhere. Show someone where to go striped bass fishing and you'll have a desperate report chaser with loose lips.

TimS Tim - something like a SOL offering a referral to places to stay owned and run by fellow SOL members. I think fishermen would feel more comfortable staying with other fishermen - members like me who are Airbnb hosts can give advice on where to go and offer Sol members discounted rates. Probably have it’s own page. Gooch88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydraman Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Cool idea I would def choose someone from here over someone that’s not. I don’t know many members but would trust many of the people here. Gooch88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcbmx112 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yea this would be cool- It would be nice to see listings of people on the site you could support rather than renting from joe schmoe. DZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Could be on a page like Commercial BST or Regional Forums. Listed as “Places To Stay in... “list state here”. Then approved members can provide a description of their listing - if no links are permitted then the interested Sol members would PM the member who posted the listing to find availability and more info. Tim if you PM me your number I can text you my listing as a sample. Willing to help you work this if it’s something you think is worthwhile. redfish12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronson Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I had a thought of having rods around to...ie say a couple century rods to b able to demo that were area specific for members.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronson Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Tim. thx for everything and consideration here......a board here could help members like say I wanna go on a trip to susquahana and Byron pa wants to check out obx..... we as sol members could swap a week...like one that my bnb isn't gonna b rented in the fall but the fishing here would b great... the tourist seasons and the fishing seasons can differ to our advantage. or just paying knowing ur helping out the sol community and would prob get to meet other members....
