About Dennis Suler
Thirty years writing about fishing. Started with a weekly newspaper column. Bylines at Field & Stream, The Fisherman, and other national outdoor magazines. Member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. I’ve covered everything from Northeast surf striper migrations to Florida tarpon to Bristol Bay sockeye. I launched fishing.digital in 2025 as a modern, digital-first publication built for the way anglers actually plan trips today.
fishing.digital Weekly is what I’d want to read if I weren’t writing it. Straight intel, written in my column voice, no fluff, no upsells. Yes there are affiliate links on the website itself; the newsletter is editorial.
FAQ
How much does it cost?
Free. The newsletter exists to drive readers to fishing.digital, where affiliate links to gear retailers (Amazon, eBay, and a growing list of fishing brands) keep the lights on. The newsletter itself is editorial — no ads, no sponsored content, no upsells in the email.
How often will I hear from you?
Once a week — the “What’s hitting” weekend roundup lands every Friday morning. That’s 4-5 emails per month. The 1st-of-month From the Notebook long-form column publishes on the site. When dedicated Friday regional editions launch, they’ll be opt-in only.
Can I unsubscribe?
Every email has an unsubscribe link. Your data isn’t shared or sold.
What’s the difference between the website reports and the newsletter?
The website has 600+ weekly reports archived by location. The newsletter is the curation layer — Dennis-picked highlights, what’s worth knowing this week, plus reader reports and editorial pieces that don’t appear elsewhere. If the website is the encyclopedia, the newsletter is the column.
Can I submit a fishing report?
Yes — submit one here or email reports@fishing.digital. Selected reports get featured in the weekly newsletter and on the site, with full angler credit.
