If i knew anything about computer code i'd offer to do it myself, but i can't imagine it'd be that hard. anyway they pretty much wrote me off on the whole thought. reminds me of the KDC website that looks to me like a website made when the internet was first invented haha...pretty sad waste of potential fishing data, but oh well. maybe if we all start emailing them about it haha.

You don't need to be an html wiz to write a basic page. All you need is Wordpress. It's as intuitive as a smart phone. All you'd need is a basic pkg and they're free. Seems like it's more of a man power thing as these types of projects take time. Build, format, linking, re-directs and testing before go-live.

Ken--

Unfortunately applications must be submitted within 30 days. All of the info is in the freshwater digest published by the state, you should check it out. There are different categories for adult, junior, and catch and release and they just expanded some of the bonus categories last year. Any fish above a certain size is recognized, but info on the biggest fish of each species gets published every year.

I work in IT and there are thousands of college kids looking for "internships" every semester that would do this for free. If you didn't know, many internships are unpaid these days especially in the scientific and environmental fields. I know as my kid is in the environmental consulting field. Companies want experience as well as education these days and kids need it. A kid would love the chance to actually do something like this...rather than sit in a cubical running QA on some BS conglomerates service center software! It would be great if NJF&G were able to utilize that kind of resource.

That's funny right there! And sadly accurate.
