FISHING ONLINE – 1000 BEST WEBSITES by Craig Buddo Softcover, 416 pages, illustrated with over 300 screen shots Published by Stoeger Publishing Company, Maryland USA. Available in the UK from: Coch-Y-Bonddu Books Craig Buddo: FISHING ONLINE – 1,000 BEST WEBSITES Introduced as a jargon-free guide to getting the most from search engines, fishing mailing lists, chat rooms, newsgroups and forums, Fishing Online: 1,000 Best Web Sites is equally divided between freshwater and saltwater fishing, bass fishing and fly fishing, and has dozens of subsections pointing to the best sites for trip planning, fishing reports and online communities for every state, tackle and boat buying, kids’ fishing resources, and much more. Although predominately American there is a wealth of information on web sites from all over the world. Author Craig Buddo, a native Brit who has lived in the States for many years, spent two years weeding through tens of thousands of web sites to pick out the most useful, up-to-date and entertaining sites for every type of fishing interest. This clearly organised guide ends the frustration involved in finding quality, content-rich fishing sites. There are three appendices at the back of the book that list the Top Rated Websites and the Better Forums. Fishingmagic features in both. Of the Top Rated web sites Craig says: “There are things of value in every one of these sites but the ones that really stand out in terms of design and content have been given a TOP RATED designation. Each of the more than 310 sites that made the cut is listed for quick reference in Appendix I.” Craig contributed to FM back in July 2001 with this feature about the Columbia River. He has long been a fan of FM so it’s no wonder we are rated very highly in the book. | ||||||
