A New Horizon National Fisherman goes digital

With a blend of nostalgia and excitement, we share some significant news. After 78 years of delivering the latest in commercial fishing through our printed pages, National Fisherman is taking a leap into the future by transitioning to an exclusively online platform.

Starting in Spring 2024, National Fisherman magazine will bid farewell to its print edition. This decision is rooted in our commitment to adapting to the evolving media landscape, ensuring that we can continue providing you with top-notch coverage of daily news and insights from the commercial fishing industry.

National Fisherman, traces its roots back to 1946 with the inception of Maine Coast Fishermen. In 1960, it merged with a New Hampshire publication, adopting its name. Subsequently, in 1966, the magazine absorbed Pacific Fisherman into its fold. Penobscot Marine Museum / National Fisherman collection photo.
