FISHTALK's Update

What are you looking here for! August 7 1999:..... Man the season is just flying by. I wish I could tell you a bunch of fish storys but I can't. Just havent been fishing. Too much work, and bad timing have conspired to keep me off the water. Kieths picking up some Mako's as well as Randall and Skip.The Albies are STILL!!! going off down at S.D. I've said it before, but "it's time to get out there and catch some fish!!!

Thanks again to all the guys who have been posting on my board. Though I've received a number of sites, no new message boards to speak of. Theres some changes. I really like what Monty's doing over at Fish-N-Net. Lots of great boards. In fact it looks like I'll soon have a page there of my own."Soon" is a realitive term here. I've been really busy, It'll happen !!

I've updated a few of the Bad links! The Allcoast boards should all work now. Questions or comments post them!! On average I get a few fishing E-mails a day. I'd rather see them on the board. No no I'm not complaining keep those cards and letters coming. As always I love getting new fishing sites in the mail. If you got something to post, and I bet you do here’s the board.!

If you've come across some fishing sites while surfing, send them in and I'll put them up! I love getting emails with new fishing links! You'll get full credit for the links that you submit to be posted.

Note: These are all direct links to message boards unless I say otherwise!

Sharking Online | Rating: 4/5 |
The message board for Mark’s original Southern California Shark fishing site, recently re-opened by Stan from SCMO. An emphasis on tag and release shark fishing for mako’s and threshers but gets input from around the web. Great site, don't miss it!

So.Cal. Marlin Online. | Rating: 4/5 |
The Message board for Stan’s main site: Southern California Marlin Online. This board gives great Tuna And Marlin info during the season. I would not have caught my Big Eye last year if it wasn’t for this board, the info got me in the right spot at the right time. A good group of guys willing to go all out to get their shot at a Billfish.

Sharktagger | Rating: 4/5 |
Kieth Poes message board for his Tag and release oriented shark site. Another Great Southern California Site, with a heavy emphasis on conservation. Lots of local regulars, this board always has a lot of activity. Kieths back on the water so things have picked up around here!!

Charkbait | Rating: 4/5 |
Charks main message board for his Southern California fishing site. General saltwater info with a west coast flavor. Good info especially on tackle. One bitch, Chark edited a post of mine where I mentioned Tuna reports at Allcoast. Like "Dude" whats that about!!??

Charkbait | Rating: 4.5/5 |
Another board like the one above, But this time it’s his tackle board. This board has really taken off, lots of activity! I once made the mistake in saying I can do stainless work, and must of got a dozen E-mails (I'm to busy right now to take the work) Looking for some used gear check this out. Want to sell your penn internationals (E-mail me...just joking) post it on the tackle board.

All Coast Sportfishing | Rating:4/5 |
Allcoasts main message board...Was “The Springer show of fishing boards” This board has moved to a password only format. It's better.. The structure is a little weird, I'll admit it's hard to get used to. Hey and why the Netscape Graphics? These things aside it's much improved. Good for you Don And Mel!

All coast Tuna Board Rating: 4.5/5 |

Saltfish Surf fishing | Rating: 3.6/5 |
Surf fishing board: This is just one of many boards on this sight, It has a weird format that makes it a little difficult to use, but there's a lot of info exchanged here. Primarily an east coast board but people post from all over. I've met some cool Australians here.

Coastal Shark Fishing:| Rating: 4/5 /5 |
This used to be Beach Bum's Shark Taggers Association's board, but he's connected it to Fish N Net in order to reach a larger audience. A great board. Southern and East Coast shark fishing, with posts from all over. Lots of information about pier and surf sharking. Jim Morris says: "Beach Bums board is the best sharkboard" Who am I to disagree with that.

Fish N Net's Main Board | Rating: 4.95/5 |
Fish N Nets main board. This is the main board of Monty's Fish N Net empire. What a great board!!

X-LOBSTERMANS MESSAGE BOARD | Rating: 3.5/5 |
The X- board Randall Hollmans main board. The black hole of cyberspace. A smallish board connected to Randall page. Randall is one unique individual and his board shows it. there's a no holds barred attitude here. Say what you want Randall believes in freedom of speech.

Randall's slam board | Rating: 3.75/5 |
