Wanna talk to other anglers in your geographical area or perhaps for an upcoming trip somewhere else? Get info, share stories, pictures, meet fishing buddies or get the low-down on guides? Check out GoFISHn...

GoFISHn is "where anglers connect,". It's a place where anglers can easily share stories and information, and small businesses who serve anglers can discover new customers and stay in touch with existing ones.

GoFISHn is distinctive in this realm (at least I think so) by bringing in a very clean and open design that's easy to use, and it makes the creation of new content -- whether it's a quick status update or a photo gallery or a custom map -- easy to create and publish.

They've created a way to review gear and ask/answer questions, both of which are integrated...

 ...in the "feed" of the member who participates. GoFISHn will also be linked to Facebook and Twitter so members can push anything they create on GoFISHn into their feeds at those social sites.

A beta test of the site continues until Dec. 1, and any small business that signs up between now and then will get the service free for six months, with no obligation after that. Individuals are invited to give the site a whirl as well.

To get a beta invitation, enter your name and email address in the fields in the lower left of the www.gofishn.com home page, and they'll send an invite along.

Thanks to internet, the world is getting a smaller place and what better than a site like gofishn to prove that.

Share fishing info, isn't that what this blog is for? ;)
If anything, I'd want to scare anglers away from my waters. Maybe they'll make an episode of scooby doo about me.

Now Tim, you need to be careful.....Chad over at Field Notes is blogging on this very same topic, well sort of. Read that last paragraph, I don't think you want Chad coming down on you with THAT kind of wordsmithing!!!

Wags,

Yeah, in a word by word smackdown Chad would KO me in about a half second... He's got some years on me though, so I'm thinking my age might give me a bit of endurance advantage. ;) Oh, not to mention a far different perspective. I pretty much agree with everything he said, but the kiddos might not. If you want to engage kids these days, just telling them to get off the couch isn't going to work. You're going to have to go to them. Know what I mean?

I think if you're interested in this kind of thing, by default - you are already a avid angler who gets out a lot.

We'll see...

You could take me, Tim. I'm good for a paragraph or two, three tops.

After that my vocabulary runs out of obscure polysyllabic words and I'm forced to just stutter, stammer and blurt out something like "Oh yeah? Well you suck worse!"

Yep, it's truly something to behold when I unleash my awesome wit on an unsuspecting world...
