The site is still in beta, but anticipate a lot of great features over the next couple weeks. Be sure to send us any features you would like to see added, and we will work to incorporate! Also, native CT Fish Finder applications coming soon!

  • NOAA Charts - We have just added NOAA Charts to our Map tab as a new Background layer! We hope these charts will help all you saltwater anglers better plot and plan your next fishing trip. NOAA Disclaimer: CHARTS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. These charts can be used as a planning or analysis tool but may not be used as a navigational aid. Huge thanks to Marine GeoGarage for providing the map service for us to use!
January 26, 2011
  • Connecticut Fishing & Hunting Expo - Come visit us at the 2011 Fishing & Hunting Expo at the Connecticut Convention Center from February 18th-20th in Hartford, CT! We will be at booth #314 all weekend, so be sure to stop by to say hello. It should be a great event, so be sure to tell your friends and family to attend. It is only $10 per adult and $2 for children. Learn more at http://www.fishinghuntingexpo.com
January 19, 2011
  • Cabela's - We have just teamed up with Cabela's as well! Within the next few days, expect the Find Gear section to expand with gear from the Cabela's product catalog. This new addition not only makes it easy to purchase gear, but it will also help you find items you currently own and add them to your Tackle Box. We hope this new relationship makes CT Fish Finder your one-stop-shop for all your fishing needs!

    Shop Cabelas.com!
January 10, 2011
  • Spread the Word - Throughout the site, we have added icons to make it easy to share your trips, locations, and posts with your friends in other social networks. These links should really help promote the site, so take the extra few seconds to help spread the word!

December 20, 2010
  • Bass Pro Shops - Just in time for the holidays, we have teamed up with Bass Pro Shops to add a new Find Gear section to the site. Now you can search for and purchase gear at discounted prices from Bass Pro Shops, while at the same time supporting CT Fish Finder. We have also developed the ability to add items to your "Tackle Box", so you can keep track of and share your gear with fellow anglers.

September 22, 2010
  • Layar Mobile App - We have just learned that our fishing locations and hotspots have been approved and published to the new Layar application available on the IPhone and Android. If you have one of these devices, you can download the Layar application to find fishing locations and hotspots using your phone's camera! We are also continuing to develop our custom Android application, so stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy using the Layar application.
April 7, 2010
  • Map Enhancements - Completely reworked the Map tab on the site. New drop down menus for the map, a location list, cleaner popups, marker management, and various performance improvements.
  • Trip Wizard - Added a Trip Wizard to make it easier to create trips! Now you can create a trip in 3 simple steps. Also, you can now define other Fish Finder users who attended the trip with you. Make them contributers so they can add photos, hotspots, and details that you might have missed.
  • Encryption - We have added RSA encryption to all login and sign up forms. It adds a couple seconds to logins, but we feel you will appreciate the extra level of security!
September 18, 2009
  • Online Store - The CT Fish Finder T-Shirts are finally ready for order! We are offering a variety of sizes and colors. Order one today and help support CT Fish Finder!
