For Immediate Release June 18, 2006 THE FINAL WORD FOR THE AFFLUENT SPORTFISHING ENTHUSIAST Miami Beach, FL - The creators of television's hit reality big game fishing show "The Bite" (TheBite.tv) are pleased to announce the July 2006 debut of Worldwide Angler - a quarterly glossy magazine geared toward the high-end sports fisherman and saltwater enthusiast. Co-Publishers Scott W. Shane and Peter Wolfson said that the catalyst for the magazine was to give readers input from "true working sportfishing captains" rather than to rely on simply the reportage by non-professional fisherman as with other magazines. Wolfson has had a varied career in television production as well as publishing custom print media for clients such as Park Place Entertainment, MGM Resorts, and Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. He also launched South Florida's first dance music television channel. Shane balances the act with his experience as a world traveling fisherman. World class fishing Captain Matt Tambor, Shane and Wolfson created "The Bite" television show. It began airing in January 2003 and currently reaches 22 million American households via SunSports and The Water Channel. Sensing the potential, Luis Bacardi, an avid fisherman for the past 18 years, became an investor in "The Bite" and Worldwide Angler. The producers of the television show have forged strong ties with some of the world's best captains like Tambor, "Bouncer" Smith, Ray Rosher, Ronnie Schatman, Bart Miller and others. Wolfson and Shane will incorporate those relationships into the magazine. "The television show is the 'extreme reality' of sport fishing," Wolfson said. "We wanted a magazine just like that - told from a professional fishing captain's perspective. Almost everybody we deal with wanted to write for the magazine to 'tell it like it is.'" Tambor, one of South Florida's most prominent captains, is most recently the winner of the first leg of The Libertad Challenge Tournament and the 2004 Yamaha Contender Miami Billfish Tournament and the host of "The Bite" television show and holds the South Florida record for the most catch-releases in one day. As contributors to the magazine, every captain will present his own special fishing techniques and offer advice and instruction for both amateur and professional fisherman. Worldwide Angler will also highlight the best places in the world to fish and offer a discriminating eye on the latest technology in top-end fishing gear, boats, and related products needed to achieve maximum effectiveness whether fishing for marlin, sailfish, bonefish, snook or tarpon. The magazine will also devote editorial space to the tournament circuit and specialty events like the Bermuda Triangle Series, Bahamas Billfish Championship, Miami Billfish Tournament and the White Marlin Tournaments. Circulation is slated to begin at 25,000 copies and increase by 5,000 copies per issue. Distribution will be through substantial Florida boating product outlets such as West Marine, Boat Owner's Warehouse, Boater's World, as well as at most major marinas and marine resorts on the East Coast of the United States, the Bahamas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Costa Rica. The number of distribution points is targeted at 150 as well as the subscription base of "The Bite." Worldwide Angler will showcase the nuts and bolts of sportfishing while capturing the essence of the saltwater angler as the world's most famous captains tell it like it is.
