Celebrating Our Lifetime Members

by Ryan Collins

Last Black Friday, I did something I'd never done before in the 14-year history of My Fishing Cape Cod—I offered a Lifetime Membership option.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. Would anyone actually take the leap? Would people see the value in committing to this community for the long haul?

The answer blew me away.

Twenty-four incredible members stepped up and said "yes" to becoming Lifetime Members. Twenty-four people who believed in this community enough to make it their fishing home forever.

Today, I want to publicly thank each and every one of these members. You took a chance on me and on MFCC, and I want you to know how much that means. You're not just members—you're the foundation of something really special we're building here.

Why This Matters

When I created the Lifetime Membership option, it wasn't just about offering a deal. It was about finding the people who truly get what we're doing here at My Fishing Cape Cod. The folks who understand that this isn't just a website—it's a community of passionate anglers who support each other, share knowledge, and make memories together on the water.

These 24 Lifetime Members saw the vision. They know that the best fishing trips, the most helpful forum advice, and the friendships made are worth investing in for the long term. And honestly? Their faith in MFCC has inspired me more than they'll ever know.

Looking ahead, I'll be working harder than ever to make sure the MFCC experience lives up to what these Lifetime Members believed in. Every podcast, blog or video we produce, every fishing trip we organize, every event we plan—I'm thinking about how to make this community even better for all of you, but especially for the people who went all-in.

Looking Ahead

Here's what I want you to know: this Black Friday, I'm offering the Lifetime Membership option again.

Why? Because last year's response showed me there are more people out there who want to be part of MFCC for the long haul. And if you've been on the fence, wondering if you'll still be fishing Cape Cod in 6, 8, or 10 years from now—this is your chance to join this special group.

The math is simple: if you plan on being a member for the next 6 years or longer, the Lifetime Membership at $997 makes perfect financial sense. But beyond the numbers, it's about becoming part of something bigger—a community I'm committed to growing and improving for decades to come.

Thank You

To our 24 Lifetime Members from last year: thank you. Thank you for believing in this vision. Thank you for your enthusiasm. Thank you for being active participants in making MFCC the best fishing community on Cape Cod.

And to everyone else reading this: if you've been thinking about making MFCC your fishing home forever, stay tuned. Black Friday is coming, and I'd be honored to welcome you into this incredible lifetime group.

Tight lines! 🎣
