The Finatic Life Blog succeeds the Fishing the Americas Blog with this new itineration of the FTA web site. Going forward, the blog will focus on more things fishing-related in addition to fishing and industry news and reports. Blogging has been sporadic at best, and I do hope to correct that. You can still find the Fishing the Americas Blog Archives going back to 2009 here.
Thank you for checking in.
