Madison, WI- Fishidy, a map-based
social network for anglers, will begin its first in a series of online chats
hosted on Fishidy where the general public will be
able to chat online, in real-time with BASS Elite Series angler and 2003
Bassmaster Classic champion, Mike Iaconelli. Amateur tournament anglers and
weekend warriors alike will have the chance to pick the brain of one of the
most successful and well-known pro anglers in the country. The first event held
by Fishidy will be a free- for-all format where
topics may include Ike's start to the tournament fishing season, how he uses Fishidy to help prepare for events, and what's new for
anglers in 2013. The event will be held live at live.fishidy.com on Sunday, April 7th from
8pm-9pm ET.
"Fishidy's series of live chats with Ike will
give anglers across the country a unique opportunity for Q&A in an online
format that is free to access and shared in real-time," says Brian Jensen,
President of Fishidy. "It's a great way to gain
firsthand insight from a renowned bass fishing pro and at the same time learn a
little bit more about how Fishidy can help the
everyday angler. We're pumped to kick-off the series this weekend and we hope
our community is just as excited!"
In an effort to showcase the features of its mobile app available on iTunes and
Android, Fishidy has created the Braggin'
Board fishing contest where contestants post photos of their best catches with
the chance to win a prize pack from Fishidy each
week. On top of that, all entrants into the competition are automatically
entered into a national sweepstakes to win a VIP, all-expenses paid trip to the
Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Conroe, TX, with an opportunity to spend the
day fishing with Mike Iaconelli!
Iaconelli's partnership with Fishidy gives members
access to Ike's personal fishing log of hot spots on lakes he's fished across
the country. "I've utilized fishing maps since I first started fishing and
they continue to be a critical aspect of my tournament pre-planning," says
Iaconelli. "I completely understand the importance of knowing exactly
where to fish and how critical understanding locations are when you get out on
the water. Fishidy is the coolest, most effective
tool I've used to locate fish and track my experiences. I'm excited to be
working with them - I want to make sure everyone knows about this. Fishidy's database of interactive fishing maps is
comprehensive and valuable for anglers of all kinds!"
