This month marks a special milestone for BaitingTheSwim.co.uk. We’re officially one year old! On 13th April 2024, we went public with the site for the first time when we posted our welcome story.
Over the past twelve months, what began as a simple idea to share fishing news, fishing guides and tips, tackle reviews, and tales from the bank has grown into a site gaining 100s of daily visitors. To top it all off, Saturday saw us surpass 100,000 total page views – something we could hardly have imagined when we started.
A massive thank you goes out to every reader, social media follower, and fellow angler who has supported the site so far. Whether you’ve been with us from the start or have only recently discovered Baiting The Swim, we’re truly grateful for your time, feedback, and enthusiasm.
