"The owner and publisher of Pacific Fishing magazine is retiring," the company announced today. "We are actively pursuing a new owner to carry on the publication."
The monthly magazine's December 2023 issue was its last.
The daily Fish Wrap news service also will be suspended, the announcement said.
Pacific Fishing magazine published for 44 years, offering news and features for predominantly commercial fishermen readers engaged in a dangerous and often economically tumultuous industry.
The magazine's owner and publisher is Mike Daigle, of Seattle. The editor is Wesley Loy, who also produces the Deckboss blog.
Hope someone takes this over, I have always enjoyed Pacific Fishing magazine and Fish Wrap.
ReplyDeleteSame here.
DeleteI'm going to miss Fish Wrap. They have done an outstanding job! Hope someone steps up to fill in the big boots! And rain gear.
ReplyDeleteSuper sad announcement. I sure hope they find someone to carry on.
ReplyDeleteOver the years, many of us have enjoyed and benefited from not only Pacific Fishing magazine, but also this Deckboss blog. Appreciate all your work, Wesley.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the money I paid for a two-year subscription? I only got one issue of the monthly print (December). Usually before an owner retires, they put the business up for sale, not just halt the publication. Something smells fishy to me.
