Coastal Angler Magazine expands to Hawaii

Oct. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Ben Martin, director of franchise development/editor/COO of Coastal Angler Magazine, the nation’s second largest monthly outdoors magazine, announced today the publication will publish an Oahu, Hawaii edition beginning November 2010.

Founded in 1996 by Captain Rodney Smith, a noted fishing guide, conservationist and author, Coastal Angler Magazine is a free monthly publication, which has become a primary resource for anglers, boaters and conservationists. In addition to educating and informing its readership on the protection of marine resources, content includes a mix of regional fishing forecasts, fishing tips, guest columns, product reviews, and tidal charts.

Smith published the first edition of Coastal Angler Magazine on Florida’s east coast from Brevard County in 1996. By January 2010, the publication had grown to 19 regional publications throughout Florida and the Bahamas, with a combined circulation of 190,000. Despite a sluggish economy, Smith and Martin launched an aggressive expansion campaign in the first quarter of 2010 to take the magazine beyond Florida. In ten short months, the magazine has grown to 35 regional magazines, which now include Hawaii, Alaska, California, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and the country of the Bahamas, for a combined circulation of 390,000.
