Kid’s Catches and Fish Forum now on IGFA web site

The IGFA (International Game Fish Association) has added two new special features to its web site. 
One is called “Kid’s Catches,” a photo page just for young anglers who want to share their fishing pictures and stories with the rest of the Junior Anglers around the world.
The photos don’t have to be of a world record fish, just clear and sharp with a short piece of information on the youngster and his or her catch. The IGFA will pick some favorite pictures for the web page and some of them will also be included in upcoming issues of the International Junior Angler.
To see what’s already been posted of some kids and their catches please go to http://www.igfa.org/kidscatches.asp. If you have a photo you’d like to submit simply e-mail your pictures and stories to Peter Gaube at pgaube@igfa.org  in the Junior Angler Department.
 Fish forum also now on IGFA web site   
The IGFA has also introduced a new fish forum to its web site.  Also known as a forum board, the brand new IGFA “talk fish forum” offers technology that’s user friendly with contributors sharing pictures, questions and comments.
The new web site features four main areas of forum topics.
• “General discussion” is open for everyone who is interested in fishing, conservation, and the many activities in which the IGFA is involved.
• “Certified Observers Program” is open for discussions by Certified Observers only. You must login as a COP member to proceed.
• “Ask Finny!” is dedicated to Junior Anglers!
• “International Representatives” gives an arena for discussions by the IGFA’s International Representatives only. You must login as a Rep to proceed.
“It’s a great step towards creating an avid online community of fishermen related to the IGFA and fishing issues,” said Gustavo Rivera, the IGFA’s IT coordinator and webmaster.  “Please check it out and join into the discussions.”
The site can be found at http://www.igfa.org/forum/default.asp
