Takemefishing.org - Amateur fishing and boating

This site is devoted to fishing, boating and outdoor family fun. Unlike similar thematic pages, it does not encourage competition or non environmentally friendly activities; rather it capitalizes the potential of nature and boating for fun, family and healthy leisure, while providing an extensive guide to the US top locations through an interactive map, where you can choose which state you want to visit, and the site will lead you directly to the best destinations, offering useful information on lodging and equipment rental, in case you don't have yours, and very specific information on national and federal fishing regulations. On top of that, the site offers a thorough listing of fish species, in case you are interested in catching one specific kind of animal.



The site also works as an online directory of fishing facilities and similar websites, on where to buy fishing apparel, the most important fishing events to how to license your boat and what are the most important safety tips worth taking into account when setting off sail.

With so many opportunities for boating fun available today, there's no reason why anyone can't take advantage of the benefits that recreational boating has to offer. In case you need convincing, check out this list of reasons why boating is such a great activity:

Though some environmentalists ferociously oppose fishing as a needlessly cruel activity that endangers natural ecosystems, this site is very welcome to educational programs, including massive advertising on the importance of thorough cleansing of boats and fishing apparel in order to avoid aquatic hitchhikers, that is, parasitic animals that travel from one body of water to the next and modify the natural balance of each water flow. In short, the openness and educational approach of this site make it particularly interesting and appealing to its targeted audience.

The information on endangered species is nowhere to be found, at least not easily, which is a real slip in the knowledgeable and educational outlook this site has. For instance, it would seem like a good idea to have a visual aid to recognizing the kind of animals that should not be caught. Will they think of this and have it patched any time soon?
