Passionate anglers launch Fishbook.com – a website seeking to give fishermen worldwide a community to share knowledge, catches, venues and much more…

Lingfield, Surrey, July 30, 2010 (PressReleasePoint) -- 2 years ago, Steve Forehead, a committed fisherman, noticed that there was a void on the internet for dedicated angling ‘community’ websites. Together with his business partner, another fisherman, they brainstormed ideas and came up with the concept that has now become Fishbook.com.

The aim of the project is to provide a dedicated community which is designed by anglers, for anglers. The website is organic and will evolve as the needs and wishes of its members change.

There are many websites on the internet that are for anglers, but these tend to be forum-driven whereas Fishbook.com is based around a community concept. Anglers can sign up for free, display their past and present catches, record their fishing trips, analyse them, share experiences and invite their friends on future sessions.

Global Angling Community

Although primarily for the UK, the website has been designed so it can be joined and utilised anywhere in the world. Future expansion of the site will take in specific regional requirements to cater for those anglers based in other countries.

One innovative feature of the website is that each individual venue listed becomes a micro site within the main site, all the details are recorded and once members start fishing there, a catch report for that specific venue is recorded for all other members to see.

Whispers from the bank

Another feature of the site coming soon will be the ability for members to upload their catches live from the bank (whispers from the bank) using their mobile phone. In this way, their session can be followed by their friends, wherever they are.

Fishing Competitions

There will be many competitions running with various prizes to be won. From trophies to respected brands of fishing tackle. All of the registered members on the website will be entered automatically once they land an eligible verified catch.

“We’re reaching out to all anglers, everywhere - come and join the revolution that is Fishbook.com!” says Steve Forehead.
