NEW JERSEY FISHERMAN Magazine Cover – 1976 Remember when we used to catch lots of those tasty winter fish called Whiting (Silver Hake)? In December 1976, the NEW JERSEY FISHERMAN dedicated an entire issue on this popular and very abundant fish. Today, you would get your name mentioned in the local fishing column just for catching a single fish! The FISHERMAN magazine started in 1973 and with editions in New England, Long Island, New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic Region, still publishes fifty issues each year.
