Edge Big Game Fishing Journal

The magazine originally started targeting the New England audience, but quickly gained readership in other regions. To address this need, The Edge began to send out (I believe) four different editions, based on geography. They now lump all the regional articles into one magazine. This is tremendous, as it give you an insight into how anglers in other regions deal with issues.

Most of the articles focus on techniques and strategies. An example publication would contain an article on how to prepare for a multi-day trips from Southern California, reading temperature and current patterns off of New Jersey, trolling patterns for Texan Groupers, and how to rig a balihoo for Florida sailfish. They then will add what is going on in the political front, as well as an analysis of the latest two speed reel.

All too often, magazines in this genre are no more than slaves to the advertisers. The Edge keeps this to a minimum, so that you can buy in confidence.

In summary, this is the best fishing magazine to which I subscribe. I get three other fishing magazines, but this is the one that I almost always read cover to cover.
