Fishin' You Can believe In! Greetings I hope everyone is having a great summer, one filled with lots of barbecues and fishy fun. We have been having our summer of summers here at Fishin247.com. There are some new offers and a brand new feature to tell about not to mention all the fabulous fish that have been posted since our last chat. So read on and "Have a Great Summer!"

The Member of the Week. We are accepting member slide shows to use on our cover page. The 247 Member of the Week feature is a voluntary effort, this week featuring a photo slideshow provided by esoxman. Create your slide show in PhotoBucket or whatever photohosting service you use. You can do a species theme, or a time period theme. Of course some fish are always nice, but feel free to use other stuff that makes it a slide show about you. Lets see what you all can come up with! Send your submissions to me, fishin_musician using the personal messaging system on the site. Remember you saw it here first! I expect that this will be copied by our groupies as soon as they can figure it out. LOL

The Newbie Special has been such an overwhelming success that I have decided to extend the offer until the end of September. Just invite 4 of your friends to join the site using our Invite feature. When your 4 friends have signed up and made their first post in the Welcome Aboard board "you" will receive a Fishin247.com Ball Cap pictured below, your choice olive or khaki.
