| The Inaugural Issue of the Chesapeake Angler Magazine was May 1997. In that first issue was an article that describes the process that began over "a couple of pots of coffee" and culminated in that first issue. We have reproduced it here, titled "A Concept, A Magazine, A Work in Progress." Eight years later we cover four states: Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and the Outer Banks. We publish 40,000 magazines monthly, deliver to four states and mail subscriptions to many more.
