**HOW DO I POST A FISHING REPORT?

Our system for posting a fishing report has changed a bit from the old site. Reports are now posted in our forums rather than in the Guide Directory, but they will feed to the Guide Directory and to our site homepage, which gives your business great exposure and informs our readers about any fishing hot spots.

For best results, upload photos elsewhere (In our own Forum Photo Gallery or at a site like Photobucket) and use the [IMG] code to add photos to your reports. You can also embed YouTube videos in reports now, or add links back to your site. When posting your fishing reports, please include your location and the species you’ve been catching IN THE THREAD TITLE. Also, please watch your spelling and punctuation in these headlines, as they very well may appear in a prominent position on our home page. For optimal click-thrus, keep it punchy and clean!
