Webster's Words Web Site Reviews

by Charles Munger

American Fisheries Society http://www.fisheries.org

This web page contains a lot of information about the American Fisheries Society, its mission and activities, and a lot of fisheries related links. The site has sections on annual meeting news, current events, publications, basic society information, links to other AFS sections and chapters, job links, position and policy statements, legislative briefing statements, and a hot list of servers.

Under current events you can find out about both AFS sponsored meetings and meetings of other groups that may have information related to fisheries. The hot list of servers has subsections on Academia with college and university links, Fisheries and Natural Resources with mostly nonprofit organization links, Government with state and federal links, Internet resources and Other Useful Sites. The links here should lead you to the information you want or at least keep you occupied for quite a while.

Anyone interested in finding out more about the parent Society should visit this site. The site is well organized but the main page may load a little slow since there are quite a few option buttons.

All American Anglers www.texs.com/all.htm

Texas based web page that includes online magazines, links, and lots of fishing though most of the information is commercially oriented. Some of the commercial links include things like boat information and sales, fishing electronics, fishing vacations, photo galleries, tackle shop links, lake information, and tournament information for TBBU Angler's Choice Tournament Circuit and Southern Bass Tournament Trail.

Texas Sportsguide Magazine - As the name indicates, the magazine features articles about the Texas outdoors with stories on both hunting and fishing.

Bass Adventures - Features articles and information about fishing in Mexico. The magazine includes feature articles about lakes and fishing resorts and guides if you are interested in fishing south of the border.

Adventures in Mexico - This magazine also features fishing in Mexico, but the scope is much greater. There are articles on fresh and saltwater fishing, hunting, diving, birding, and ecotours. Although there is information on the better known Mexican vacation spots, most of the articles are about the lesser known, high quality vacation sites.

Internet Bass Magazine - This magazine includes the Japanese Bass Pages for team Onochan. When I visited, the page was having trouble with images and you had to search for English text. It is interesting to see another viewpoint.

The site is well organized with relatively few graphics so pages will load fast. The magazines do contain a number of photos that may be slow to load during high traffic periods.
