FISH BEWARE! Maptech’s New Revolutionary
Saltwater Fishing Guides to Florida on CD-ROM
Jump to Website Here
Reveals More Than 14,000 GPS Hotspots with 47,000 Species Sites
Imagine this: You have tomorrow off, you want to catch a sailfish or perhaps a grouper over a
coral patch. But exactly where should you go? What’s the best technique to use? What are the
most productive baits and lures to use? And so on. Every fisherman wants to catch more fish.
Maptech’s Saltwater Fishing Guide to Florida tells you what you need to know, shows you where
to go and explains how to do it. Would you believe, more than 14,000 Florida’s best fishing
hotspots with more than 47,000 species sites- picked by local experts - are visually placed on
NOAA digital charts displayed side-by-side with aerial photographs. Extensive feature articles
and specie descriptions give users valuable "how to" information on more than 85 Florida fish
species.
"Now, for the first time, you can actually see where the fish are," says Vin Sparano, Content
Director/Editor of Maptech’s Saltwater Fishing Guide series. "You see charts and aerial photos
side by side. You see sandbars, deep holes, reefs, and cuts. Best of all, Florida fishing
experts have picked the best places to go fish for Florida’s most popular game fish."
Sparano is Editor Emeritus/Senior Field Editor for Outdoor Life Magazine, and a noted author
of various books, including The Complete Outdoor Encyclopedia, the Northeast Guides to
Saltwater Fishing & Boating, and Southeast Guides to Saltwater Fishing & Boating.
For Maptech’s Saltwater Fishing Guide to Florida, Sparano hauled in more than 14,000 of
Florida’s best fishing locations straight from the mouths of local fishing experts. Hotspots
are displayed right on the digital NOAA charts and aerial photographs. Simply right-click on a
hotspot, and you’ll find the location’s latitude and longitude, which you can download to your
GPS, as well as detailed information about species that you’ll find there. More than 20 "How
To" articles provide angling tips and tactics by Florida’s leading experts. Along with
detailed descriptions on more than 85 species, you’ll find a reference section that notes
Florida’s fishing regulations, records, recipes, and much more.
For the "do-it-yourselfer": the revealing color aerial photographs make pinpointing
shallow-water honey holes a breeze. Mark your own hotspots, send the positions to your GPS,
print out sections of the charts, and hit the water. "As a life-long fisherman, I can’t
imagine a better tool to catch more fish in Florida," Sparano says.
