Fishing On Garmin

I just joined this forum although I've been exploring it as a guest for a while. My focus is fishing and I am starting a company selling Garmin GPI Custom POI's for fishermen in Pennsylvania with some success.
Does anyone know of any other fishing specific POI's anywhere in the US covering large areas?
I'm also curious since users here understand the Custom POI concept if you ever consider purchasing POI's. Free is great but I quit my job to (hopefully) make a living at this. I loved my Garmin so much, I wanted to make it a tool to explore my fishing pasion.
The product is called The GPS Fishing Guide to Pennsylvania. I have the better part of year in research and 10,000 points with tons of metadata into this and am trying to figure out my next steps. Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
Excellent Idea
Michael--I am part-time newspaper saltwater outdoor writer and full time photojournalist down in Florida.
This is an excellent idea. There are a quite a few fishing related POI collections on this site. I found one quite useful which lists all the saltwater boat ramps in Florida. I made my own Central Florida Bait and Tackle Shop list, but it is still a work in progress.
I am trying to figure out how to make my own custom POI files to upload to this site.
I think many outdoorsman would find such POI collections to be of use.
Feel free to contact me if you would like.

Michael - I hope you didn't use any of the POIs from this site to create your files. Because the terms of membership on this site state "The content and services on web site are provided for your personal, non-commercial use only.

I think it's a good idea
I think it's a good idea as well. I would consider having a classification for those that fish from the bank as a great many rec fishermen don't have boats.

Gadget Guy's Response
It was not my intention to support any business infraction of rules on this site. I just wanted to express my interest and support for more fishing and outdoors related POI files.
