Hello Everyone,

The updated site is now live and on a computer near you. Take some time and check it out. Some of the highlights:

* Fully Searchable database. All reports can be search so if you have a distinct name you can pull up old reports on one search. If you've been posting under a common name you should consider using your last name or finding a unique name. You'll be glad you did when your doing a search five years from now!

* One click reports - you can read a current front page report with one click, then check all reports for that specific lake. Still available is the hyperlinked map and the lake/saltwater Index.

* Top Rated Lakes - you can rate your fishing trip. It will then go into the database and be tabulated. Top 12 lakes go on the list. Move your mouse over the boxes to get the exact rating. All lakes have a basic 1-5 rating in the Lake Index and County pages.

* Picture Corner - your picture can now go into front page rotation!

*Articles and Stories - all old articles/stories are archived and can be searched for as well.

* Writers Corner - need I say more?

I hope you enjoy and PLEASE send us BUG reports for any problems you run into. Use the Bug Report form in the upper left hand corner of the site. We also welcome comments, good or bad. Give Aaron a big thank you while you're at it. You can't imagine how many hours of work it took us. Let's just say we've been at it since last fall. Also, I still have about 3,000 old reports left to transfer so if you can't find an old favorite report it is probably waiting on my computer.

Have fun!
