And the new SJ website at http://www.surfcastersjournal.com/ is finally here. And new look for blog. We hope you like what we did.If anyone has any issues feel free to email me at zhromin@verizon.net
We worked so hard and so long, I don’t even know where to begin so let me make today’s blog really simple. If you want to skip over my crude childlike drawings, just go to https://www.surfcastersjournal.com/amember/signup and sign up. Tommy made a layout so simple…but here are some pointers
You will see that we have new website layout. The buttons are self explanatory. Except the magazine button, the main one, but we will get to that in a moment.
First, once you arrive at the http://www.surfcastersjournal.com/ you will find a current issue preview.
Notice that arrow on the left pointing to the Full Screen button ? That is to enlarge the magazine on the PC or Mac. On the opposite side you will see arrows with which you can turn the pages. You can also grab a corner of the page and it will flip too.
There are eight videos in the issue but unless you stop and look, you might skip right over it. The first page, after you flip over the spectacular cover shot by ZeeBaaS Ron DiCostanzo is a spread by Tackle Direct…notice the video circled in the picture? Yes, that is an interactive ad
When you come to the end of the preview , you will come to subscribe page. Clicking anywhere on that page will take you to subscribe section.
This will take you to the page where you will create your account. Pick a name and password.
Once you are done with that you need to subscribe to the mag. Just click “Next” .This is self-explanatory. No more PayPal, no more headaches. We are using authorize.net, the biggest credit card merchant in the universe. Enter your info and you are done.
Remember, you can always retrieve your info by going here and clicking on Lost Password
Now you are in the “current issue” section. You can view the whole 164 page magazine. On the top under Magazine heading there is an ARCHIVE button. This will take you to all the archived issues we did in landscape format. Yes, they are all waiting for you. And yes, you are automaticaly entered in “Win a CTS ROD OF YOUR CHOICE” giveaway when you subscribe
Ok, I am running out of time and LIRR awaits but then again, its 4 am and I am lucky to have a job..more stuff on mag coming up

Kudos to all at SJ! The new look is second to none. Well worth the membership. Thank you for all you do!
↓Money well spent! I was tired of paying for another magazine that featured surfcasting as an afterthought.
↓could not subscribe. had the same problem last year when I tried to donate.payment site will not recognize my Costa Rica address. I was able to trick paypal into accepting my card last year and then donated but now I do not know what to do….help ?
↓Mark , contact me at info@surfcastersjournal.com and I wil take care of it manually. They set up credit card to reject any payment were billing and credit card info do not match. This goes for everyone else that might have issue, that might want to pay via paypal of via check
↓Great job Z. I am happy o be a part of it. Gook luck
↓You guys should be proud of your work! Awesome job!
↓To all at SJ, did a quick run through last night, little reading, watched some videos, it was fantastic. Thanks for all you guys do and for truly doing something original in a niche that gets minimal coverage.
Thanks again
