The Tangler Type of Site: Personal Website

The Tangler is a site for fishing in and around the South East of England,mainly focusing on Kent.

This site is stuffed full of content, and is one of the best personal sites I have seen on the net in terms of the content on the site. It has a good selection of photos from various people in the fishing galleries pages,loads of interesting and fun articles (I personally thought the Mad Cows one was great), and a reguarly updated diary showing the fishing that the author has done.

The site also contains lots of venues in the area - some just listed alphabetically, and others have more in depth details about the venue ( including a few with ratings).

If your not sure of the fish you are likely to catch, there s a section on know your fish containing useful fishing and factual information on coarse, sea and game fish, some of which have pictures to help id that unknown fish you caught last week.

A nice touch, is the reviews part. This is reviews of products/services used by the author and contains useful info on several products that have been tried out, it s always nice to know how other people have found using fishing equipment and companies. I was personally interested in the performance of the night float that is reviewed here and might give it a go having read the review.

A section on books ( when I looked there were two full books ) includes the transcript of The Complete Angler by Izaak Walton. Whilst the writing style may not be everyones cup of tea, it contains an interesting insight into the fishing and life in the 15-1600 s.

If that was not enough the Tanler also has pages on Tips, Rig setups, links to other sites and a website award section.

The only down point to the site, in my opinion is the host of the sites pop up banner. These can be annoying, but a tip is to minimise the popup and this should then allow uninterrupted viewing of this great site.

OVERALL 9/10 verdict: Cracking content rich site aimed at the South East of England.
