How to use this website

Please register or logon by clicking here: My Fishing Report.
Then follow these three simple steps: Maneuver, tag & brag!

1. Maneuver
Maneuver your way around the map. You can do this by using the arrow directions and the +/- buttons to zoom in and out. You may also enter in address information into the map search field. Just enter any information at all(Country, state, street, zip code, etc.), The map will then zoom in and center itself on the information provided.

2. Tag
With the map focused on your fishing area, simply double click and a new marker will appear. By holding down with your left mouse key, you can drag the marker over your exact fishing location. Several marker options exist:

Shared Spots ([picture of Blue fish]): Use these spots most of the time to show the everybody how you did on the water!

Frequently Used Spots ([picture of Yellow fish]): If a location is frequently used, you may add to an existing shared spot dialog by double clicking on the red square. This will prevent the map from being too cluttered in one particular area. If you would like to create a shared spot you may

Regional Spots ([picture of Green fish]): If instead of a specific location you would rather just comment on the regional fishing,you may add to an existing regional dialog by double clicking on the red square.

SECRET SPOTS ([picture of Red fish]): Yes, I have them too. Some spots are just that way and we understand. This website gives you an entirely confidential way to track and record your success in these secret places. They will become password protected and you can then elect to share them with friends by giving them the password. Once the password is entered, these spots will become visible.

3. Brag!
All right, you don’t have to if it’s not exactly your style. There are three main ways to upload information

• Text. You may use the site as an online fishing journal or to show the world your fish. Post whatever information you’d like about the fishing.
• Pictures. You may upload up to 12 pictures for any given day of fishing
• Video: You may even upload 6 videos for any given day of fishing. To do so, we partnered with Utube.com. Please visit www.utube.com Once you’ve uploaded a utube video, you’re given an opportunity to enter the video address into our website so everyone can see!

For example, one user may zoom-in to the bend of a river where his son caught a first fish, upload an image of that fish and proceed to talk about that day. Another user may just elect to talk more generally about trolling the Mexican coastline and boast about the size of his prized marlin. Other users will then be able to see these posts, share posts with friends and even filter posts based upon their unique interests by dozens of fishing methods and water types. Thus providing, for example, the ability to exclude discussion about fly fishing or to read only about bass fishing in freshwater ponds. The posts visible will correlate to the bounds of the map so as you zoom-in, the content shown becomes more specific
