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?

Tuesday national + 1st-of-month From the Notebook long-form by default — that’s about 5 emails per month. If you opt into Friday regionals, add 1 email per region per week. Most anglers pick 1-2 regions, landing them around 8-10 emails per month total.

Can I unsubscribe?

Every email has an unsubscribe link. Or you can adjust which regions you receive without unsubscribing entirely. 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 newsletters and on the site, with full angler credit.
