In SJ world, this is a crunch time. It’s the time we close down the hatch and throw ourselves into working on a new issue of the Surfcaster’s Journal Magazine. I am still amazed that we are already to issue #13! Where did the time go ?
It’s been a great ride, we got to met so many wonderful people. We managed to get some very interesting characters on the camera. And I still smile every time I see a SJ sticker on someone’s truck.

And yet more from Al at Lemire’s Plugworks. This showed up at my doorstep last night. No, this mother load is not destined for Z’s surf bag but instead you will have a chance to win most of these lures in the future. Thank you Al!
We are sorry we ran out of XL size on Night Crew shirt the same day. Tommy will make some this week in that size, look for them to be back in stock by this weekend. Everything else is still in stock although in very limited quantities. Sizes like S,M and 3XL will not be reordered when they run out so we suggest you grab it now if you want one.
And lastly , a word of thanks. I know we don’t do this enough so let me try to make this right. Please don’t ever assume that we don’t know who you are. Yeah, you know who we are talking about. The same two dozen guys who buy t-shirts, send in an occasional donation, stop by our table at the show and pick up a hat. We know you don’t need a shirt, or hat..or anything. What you need is a great surfcasting magazine which we try to bring to you. We know you do this because you want to support what we are doing. And we appreciate it . With full time jobs, and young families, this blog/mag project has often left me wondering if we should just pull the plug. I mean, it’s not like we put out a few page newsletter. We are talking two hundred page magazine and a blog. That cost zero… we know economy sucks. In fact, one of us has learned this week that after next few months, the times are going to get very, very lean. And we are sure many of you have been trough similar challenges. So thank you again, from the bottom of my heart and everyone here at SJ..thank you for your donation, thank you for your purchase of SJ gear and thank you for stopping our table at shows and shaking hand. We appreciate .,.,all of it.

I love what you’ve accomplished and what you deliver. We pay taxes, union dues, tuition, mortgage, transportation costs, tolls, and then more taxes but how much do we voluntarily pay to the things we are passionate about and to the things we really, really love? My guess is that it’s just a fraction of what we want to. I don’t know what drives you, but whatever it is please bottle it and put it on your online store.
↓I do not buy shirts because they are too hard to get to Costa Rica but I do donate because I am thankfull for what you guys do. Glad to hear you get a kick out of SJ bumper stickers, There is now one in CR.

↓You guys are the greatest.

↓Just wanted to drop you guys at SJ a line and say that the fishing community needs a magazine like Surfcasters Journal. Thank you guys for keeping us informed,for making us laugh and for sharing with us great stories. Thanks for taking the time to put great interviews of film for us to enjoy. I have loved the magazine from the first time I heard of SJ. Keep up the great work guys.we look forward to the future SJ issues of the best mag on the East Coast. Tight lines and calm seas.

↓Hey Z,
I recently joined the Connecticut Surfcaster’s Association and never being in a club like it before decided to don my SJ hoodie at our March monthly meeting. At least ten members saw the hoodie and used it as a way to talk to me, one member asked me if you were my friend, and I laughed and said no, but I just know Zeno is doing a great service for fishermen like us. Another member asked if I wrote for SJ and I said I wish. And lastly, on my walk out after the meeting there was a father & son walking next to me and they were talking to me about the mag. The son turned to his father and said, this is the magazine I was telling you about, he turned to me and said it’s huge right? I said yes, it’s two hundred pages of eye candy!
↓Thanks guys.
↓Think how many negative people said you get past a year!
Keep up the good work guys.
↓Awesome, love this blog/mag, I have shared with many, Keep it up Z and SJ Crew
