The Right Tool for the Job:
In fishing, the real key to success often lies in choosing the right rods, reels, lures and baits for the task at hand; in short, it means choosing the right tool for the job. At the New Jersey Angler, we’ve adopted the same philosophy in order to deliver the most useful information to our region's fishing community. Our "brand" now spans the full range of outdoor media, and each of our products is specifically designed to leverage the benefits of its associated platform.

Print Magazine:
Our enormously popular print edition will always be the best source for in-depth learning. The glossy-covered, 100-plus-page magazine is chock full of information from New Jersey’s best charter captains, professional fishing guides, and some of the region’s best-known outdoor personalities, all willing to divulge their hard-earned secrets.

Television Show:
The Telly-Award winning New Jersey Angler Video Magazine fills a major void in the on-air marketplace by providing something that New Jersey anglers have been wanting for years – a national quality show all about New Jersey fishing! Hosted by two of the regions most respected anglers – Publisher Bill Donovan and Saltwater Editor Darren Dorris - the show not only entertains its viewers, but instructs and inspires them in a way only television can. If you think the fishing in New Jersey is anything less than outstanding, then tune in and we’ll change your mind.

Angler Online:
The internet has become the tool of choice for delivering time-critical information like fishing reports, late-breaking news, and weather information. If you are still relying on old-style revenue-influenced print reports to help determine what is happening on the water, then you’re already a step behind today’s more savvy anglers! Our internet Staff Reports are essentially a detailed, online logbook for our core staff, field editors, and writers. By checking these unique and near-real-time reports on a daily basis, viewers can keep track of what’s really happening on the water. Our website also contains links to other valuable (and trusted) sources of information, as well as an Events Calendar so you’ll always know what’s coming up. And, don’t forget to read Bill Donovan’s Publisher’s Blog for timely updates, happenings, and a liberal dose of commentary!

So who are we, then?
The New Jersey Angler is not just a print magazine, nor is it just a television show or website. Instead, it is a brand – undoubtedly one of the most popular, conspicuous, and influential outdoor brands in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. We hope you’ll take advantage of what we offer in order to improve your on-the-water experiences. After all, that’s why we’re here!

Action Alert!
Our summer flounder fishery - the region’s most socio-economically important fishery, is being attacked by misguided environmental groups that are attempting to shut down a fishery that is both healthy and growing. All anglers need to be aware of what is happening. Click here to read Bill Donovan’s article from our December, 2007 issue that provides background and a call to action on this most important issue. Also, make it a point to contact the Recreational Fishing Alliance to learn what they are doing about the problem, and the Save the Summer Flounder Fishery Fund to learn more about their very important efforts.
