Just as Facebook and Twitter bring people with common interests together, websites like GetReeled.com and Fishidy.com do the same for those who love to fish. There are a number of quality sites that anglers can visit to connect with other lovers of the sport, learn more about hot spots around North America, or simply learn more about catching their favorite fish. The sites listed below are active communities of anglers that are sharing stories and information every day. Some are even map based and you can actually look over maps with hot spots marked by other anglers. The best part about joining one of these networks is you can find local information, which is often much more useful than the information you find in a magazine that is distributed nationally.
