BigFishTackle.Com goes mobile! Check out these forums from your mobile phone at BigFishTackle.Mobi! Up to the minute Fish Reports on the go!
Now, you can check for up to date fish reports while you're on your way to the fishing hole! You can also post up a fishing report while still on the water!
Thanks for adding this, Mike!

Hello Guys,
We are still fine tuning the mobile site as it stands now you can not reply to posts only view (this is being worked on now and will be live before the end of the month).
Some of other the items in the works now that should also be done are:
Forum listings displayed 15 at time with a next and previous link at the bottom of the page. (this should solve page size problems for phones effected by this)
A automated "text message" request from this site (i.e. you will be able to enter your cell number and recieve a text message with a hyperlink that will automatically open bigfishtackle.mobi) further this message will provide instructions on adding bft.mobi to your "favorites" for ease of access in the future.
A new layout that will be a bit more appealing but still load quickly.
Thank you guys for the feedback, because this technology is so new we are up against a learning curve and appreciate all feedback.
If you have any problems if you list your phone model it will help a lot.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE FEEDBACK!!!!!

Sounds like a cool idea! I have the Motorola V325 with Verizon service. The mobile internet used is VZW. I mainly use the feature on my phone to check sports scores while in meetings or in class. Plus I check weather from time to time. I think it would be cool to give play by play fishing updates!
Keep me updated on future updates!

I tried it and it worked! I was able to fully navigate all boards including the Utah General board from my phone. I am amazed it worked at all though. Most cellular internet sites wont work on my little phone except mainstream like Weather.com and ESPN, CNN ect. Many of the other sites are more designed for the Trio or Blackberry.
