Thank you for your interest in advertising with TidalFish.com. Founded in 2001, with roots going back to 1996, we are one of the largest recreational fishing sites on the Internet. We are proud to report we have over 61,400 registered members, on average we receive over 260,000 visits a month, our visitors stay on the site over twelve (12) minutes per session and view over eight pages per visit. We truly have a "community" of dedicated Tidal Fish anglers who converse on our fishing forums posting fishing reports, fishing pictures, and sharing fishing tips and techniques. We also offer fishing articles covering saltwater, freshwater, fly fishing, and fisheries conservation. We feature fishing news, have a very active and full Calendar of Events as well as a Classified Ads section featuring used fishing boats, fishing tackle, electronics and other fishing and boating categories.
Tidal Fishers get together outside the website for Tidal Fish get-togethers, Tidal Fish fishing tournaments, crab feasts, lead pouring and tackle making parties and casual in-prompt-to meetings. This camaraderie among members develops dedicated Tidal Fishers which leads to supporting companies that support the site.
Our audience is mainly located on the East Coast of the United States with a very heavy concentration of anglers in the Mid-Atlantic Region (New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina). Though our concentration of anglers is in the Mid Atlantic, we expanded throughout the Northeast and have developed a strong viewing audience of light tackle and fly anglers from New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
On a state level our top viewing states are : Virginia, Maryland, DC, New York, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. On a larger view, we also have anglers visit us on a monthly basis from all 50 United States and from over 80 countries around the world. The top ten countries outside of the United States are: Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, Australia, Anguilla, South Africa, Italy, India, and Mexico.
