March Page #1
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! 
With this March 2018 issue, we begin our SEVENTH year of publication. In March 2015, we added Dixie, Levy and Citrus Counties to our market, and this addition resulted in substantial growth; adding new writers, new advertising partners, new distribution locations and many new readers. We distribute 11,000 magazines each month in eight counties. We know that we are doing it right, because we are consistently in the TOP FIVE of our thirty-plus markets. See the “masthead” in front of this publication for these markets. You can visit our website, www.CoastalAnglerMagazine.com to access all of these magazines and read what is happening in the fishing world all over the US, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Costa Rica. At our website, you can also enter to win the monthly give-away and sign up to receive Coastal Angler’s very informative monthly newsletter. See KISS YOUR CATCH. Tell them that I sent you! Speaking of websites, we have our own NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA/NATURE COAST website. Visit us at www.CoastalAnglerMag.com/nc-florida. Contact us for advertising opportunities on our website. Send me photos of your catch and you just might see yourself on our website.
New advertising partner this month, Premier Pole Barns, located in Old Town. They are a brand-new business and are very anxious to talk to you about your new pole barn. See their ad on page 5. See page 6 for Suwannee River Bend RV Park. See page 2 for the FLY-IN, CRUISE-IN and BUSINESS EXPO info at the airport in Cross City, Saturday March 24th. Cary and I will be there. Look for us. We would love to meet you! Also mark your calendar for Horseshoe Beach Spring Festival April 7th.
Recipe this month, Lemon Garlic Shrimp Scampi on page 2. It is very easy (Came together in less than 30 minutes.) and very good.
As we begin our seventh year, we want to first thank the folks at our Coastal Angler Corporate office for their ongoing support and assistance, especially as we embrace digital! We send a REALLY, REALLY, big thank you to our family of franchise owners across the country, for their generous sharing of advice, photos, articles, and sometimes just an understanding sympathetic ear. Thank you to our advertisers and distribution locations. Thank you to our writers for their great forecasts and articles. Thank you to Kathleen, our graphic artist. You see her work on every page. Thank you to Rosa, our distribution assistant. Last, but certainly not least, thank you to YOU, our reader. If you stop picking up our FREE magazine, we will be out of business in a hurry.
