There is simply no better tool at your disposal than the internet to find fish. Crazy, we know! But this is the world we live in. You can do everything from look at Google Maps to work out where best to drop a line, to full Navionics Charts for pinpoint underwater topography and navigation.

There are online fishing clubs to join, forums to read and write, species research to be done and all manner of internet phone-based apps to discover and use.
