OutdoorHub 02.25.13
Fishidy.com, a map-based fishing social network and mobile app, is now an official sponsor of Mike Iaconelli – BASS Elite Series angler, 2003 Bassmaster Classic champion, and one of the most successful and well-known pro anglers in the country. The partnership includes multiple elements such as an exclusive “Ike Fishing Log”, available only to Fishidy.com users, which shows some of Iaconelli’s favorite fishing spots and fishing tips.
The partnership also includes a new fishing photo contest that distributes weekly prizes with one lucky winner receiving an all-expense paid trip to fish with Iaconelli on the famed Lake Conroe in Texas. Users can submit their best fishing photos via the Fishidy.com website, mobile apps, or the Fishidy.com Bragging Board.
“I’ve utilized fishing maps since I first started fishing and they continue to be a critical aspect of my tournament pre-planning,” says Iaconelli. “I completely understand the importance of knowing exactly where to fish and how critical understanding potential locations are when you get out on the water. Fishidy.com is the coolest, most effective tool I’ve used to locate fish and track my experiences. I’m excited to be working with them – I want to make sure everyone knows this is a valuable resource for anglers of all kinds!”
Fishidy.com includes a mobile app available, free, for iPhone and Android along with a more comprehensive website where users can create personal profiles and connect with other anglers. Fishidy.com combines interactive fishing maps and social connections to make finding fish easier than ever. It gives users access to thousands of waterway maps, from coast-to-coast, filled with detailed information and tips. The interactive maps include depth contours and boat ramps, fishery data and species information.
“Being a huge fan of fishing maps, I appreciate how Fishidy.com gives anglers the option to keep detailed, private logs of their own hot spots while locating new spots on unknown waterways,” adds Iaconelli. “They’ve really figured out what anglers want, but more importantly, what they need. Fishidy solves the age-old question we’re all trying to answer…where are the fish!?!”
Fishidy.com is free to join but users can choose to upgrade their membership to Premium for additional information including Fishing Hot Spots marked fishing areas and structures.
