“Time and tide waits for no man” It’s so clearly understood by our contributors in the December issue of FishMonster Magazine. Many of them have used their final month of 2015 to express goodwill and convey affection towards their loved ones within their articles. We too are going to use this space to convey our affection and gratitude but in a different way, to our writers. With their help, FishMonster Magazine has become the most interactive fishing, diving and boating media venue in the state of Florida through our print magazine distribution,
social media and websites. No one has a more loyal daily following than FishMonster. The reason is pretty simple. Quality content provided by the most talented guides, charter captains and dive masters from Key Largo to Key West. We sincerely thank you!
They say quality attracts quality and this month Captain Jorge Pinera joins us to share his Bahamas perspective. Expanding to the Bahamas is a natural progression for us. The connection between many of our Florida Keys fans and the
Bahamas has already been in place for years but there is also a reverse interest. Our fans in the Bahamas wanted representation as well, so we agreed.
Thanks again for your interest in FishMonster Magazine, we especially couldn’t do it without YOU.
Happy Holidays!Captain Marlin & Dianne Scott
