Publisher’s Note

Tournament season is off with a bang, shout out to Jamestown Fish, catch and release, free ads and more…

The Pabst Blue Ribbon Tourney is off with a bang again in May, followed by Fluke Til You Puke and Snug Harbor tournaments in June. The Monster Shark Tourney is returning to Newport in July along with the Snug Harbor Shark Tournament and more – we’re ready! Check out our FaceBook page and website for details on these tournaments and more.

Sustainable fishing is on everyone’s mind, and these tournaments are going the extra mile to do all that they can to promote catch and release.

We’ll be supporting catch and release more in our own pages as well. Our writers assure me that posting pictures of successful anglers releasing their fish is more exciting than watching paint dry. It was a bit of a sell, but I’m convinced. Most importantly we’ll be sharing successful tactics for CAR which will dramatically increase the survival rate of the fish. Check it out and let us know what you think on our FaceBook page.

Big shout out to our friend Chef Matthew MacCartney at Jamestown Fish who was named Chef of the year for 2015, the second year in a row. We voted early and often for him, and hope you did too! Check out his mouthwatering recipe in this month’s Sea to Table!

Our special advertising incentives for season 2015 have been a hit with our small but growing band of local advertisers. Note that Six time (May – October) advertisers will receive free banner advertising for the whole season on our website, on Zach’s weekly fishing reports page which starts this month. This is the page folks download and take with them, the page avid anglers can’t do without. These banners are usually $100 a pop so it is a great deal! Call us with any questions or for a proposal today! This offer is limited to the first 10 advertisers who sign up so don’t miss the chance to grow your business this season!
