The first Coastal Angler Magazine was published in the spring of 1995 for Brevard County, FL. From 1995-2008 the magazine established itself as a localized and highly respected monthly publication.

In 2008, Coastal Angler Magazine Franchising Inc. adopted this successful business model and began franchising. Over the next few years, the elevated standards promoted by Coastal Angler Magazine and
its franchisee group have enabled the publication to be considered an industry leader. In 2011, Coastal Angler Magazine introduced The Angler Magazine to meet the demand for freshwater interior markets. These
freshwater markets have been as successful as the coastal markets.
