Putting the gallery together for the January issue is always a bit of a scramble. With holiday obligations and the first truly cold days of the young winter bearing down on our readership, we see a true hodgepodge of photo submissions coming in. In my opinion, that’s totally awesome, we like to tout ourselves as “the region’s #1 source for multi-species anglers” and this gallery really drives that point home; with tog, scup, striped bass, fluke, cod and even a dorado on the board this month, it’s easy to see that our readers know how to get it done!
