Bass Angler is open for pitches

They want articles that teach anglers something. They publish articles covering trends, products (no advertorials type pieces) and people in the bass fishing industry. Of interest are in-depth techniques, seasonal tactics, how-to, marketing, sports-health and destination pieces. Their focus is exclusively bass fishing. For the Spring issue, their guidelines say: “The spring issue includes a mix of how-to and seasonally adjusted technique articles designed to help bass anglers catch larger bass before during and after the spawn.   You can expect to see articles on: sight fishing, swimbaits, shallow crankbaits, large plastics, flipping, pitching, shallow structure, rising water, muddy water, trophy bass and various other spring time strategies.” They will also have tournament articles, springtime destination, and lifestyle pieces. Full-length features are 1,200 words; they run shorter pieces also, of 400-500 words. They ask writers to query them. Article submission deadline is 1 December for the Spring issue.
