Our goal is to continue to provide th best b t context t t for f you to t accomplish this. the We are the North Pacific fleet’s favorite publication. Why? Everything in each issue is relevant and interesting to them, because we focus exclusively on this region, producing top-quality content. The West Coast industry, from the Baja to the Aleutian Chain, has a very fluid workforce: a California fisherman fishes in Bristol Bay while an Alaskan fisherman heads to California in the winter to fish squid or to Oregon for Dungeness crab. We reach and are read by a targeted audience of serious participants, who pay for their subscriptions. Our circulation represents quality versus quantity. We connect you to your most valuable customers, all decision-makers in the North Pacific commercial fishing industry, including the processors.* We are dedicated to your most attractive market. We’re dedicated and they know it. Your ads show the same about you. Be seen where it counts: If your budget is unlimited, advertise everywhere. If your budget is average, place in the top two. If your budget is tight, choose Pacific Fishing! We have the attention of the North Pacific commercial fishing industry: share it with us in 2011! I look forward to working with you to create an advertising schedule that meets your needs. Thank you! Diane Sandvik, Advertising Sales Manager *Link to recent processor survey: http://www.pacificfishing.com/ProcessorSurvey.html P.S. Keep in mind these other advantages for advertisers: • Suggest vessel names for our “Boat of the Month” feature • Ask about our “What’s New” section • Submit ideas for articles • Be consulted for article content
P c Fishing Pacifi m magazine is the jewel oof the Northwest PPublishing Center ggroup, and no wonder — the publication is th the hands-down leader in its market sector, the N North Pacific.
W We’re growing. EEven as other printed ppublications withered dduring the recession, PPacific Fishing thrived. H Here’s why: We know fishing fishing in the North Pacific Pacific aand we know its fishermen. Want proof? Just ask any commercial fisherman who subscribes to Pacific Fishing. Most likely, he’ll tell you he reads each word in each issue. You won’t find such acceptance anywhere else because no one else is serious about covering the North Pacific. We walk the walk. We have paid correspondents scattered from Dutch Harbor to Eureka in Northern California. Pricey, but it’s the only way — and we’re the only publication doing it.

Testimonials: Response to our October ’10 issue: “All of the guys are glad to see the ‘rest of the story’ in the morning coffee clatch here at Mallott’s General Store. Lots of fishermen here in Yaktutat, as you can imagine. PACIFIC FISHING is the most popular magazine in this group.” – Larry Powell, owner “UFA provides Pacific Fishing magazine to our members to help keep them informed of the important fishing issues in Alaska and the North Pacific.” – Mark Vinsel, Executive Director, United Fishermen of Alaska
“Pacific Fishing: the only magazine for West Coast and Alaska fishermen! Among the pack, I find it the most informative — it’s nice to open up the magazine to see what’s going on in a particular area. I get updates on electronics and other equipment. It’s always great to see familiar faces (Faces of the Fleet) as well.” – Harley Ethelbah, skipper F/V Jean C. (blackcod, halibut, herring, salmon) “Our ads in Pacific Fishing magazine allow Baier to effectively promote our hatch products to all levels of the Pacific fishing industry. We recommend it.” – Alex Smith, General Manager, Baier Marine
“Pacific Fishing reaches our markets along the Pacific Coast and we have been particularly pleased with the expanded coverage in Alaska. Most importantly, Diane Sandvik does an outstanding job of serving us.” – Glenda Blakey, WESMAR Sales Manager “Our monthly ads in Pacific Fishing ensure that our customers and future customers can always find our contact information. It makes it convenient for them. We choose Pacific Fishing because it’s so popular with the fleet.” – Patrick Ellis, Wrangell Boatshop, owner
No editorial calendar? 2011 is our third year without pre-determined monthly features. Our continued growth since then bears out our position: It’s a benefit to advertise on a regular basis, rather than place infrequent ads based on arbitrary decisions of a magazine’s editorial board. You decide when to get your message to your customers! Your ad schedule with us can be adjusted to ensure that you do appear in the issue/s containing content related to your products/services. How will you know about these articles? A monthly promo is mailed, listing the content of the upcoming issue.
Member Association Statement The Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission is our newest member association. They join the United Fishermen of Alaska, the Western Fishboat Owners' Association, Cordova District Fishermen United and the Washington Dungeness Crab Fishermen’s Association in endorsing us as their preferred publication!
