Joe Cermele

Joe Cermele started his career in outdoor journalism in 2004 covering fishing tournaments for a local magazine in his home state of New Jersey. In 2005 while attending Rider University, he became an intern at "Salt Water Sportsman" magazine, joining the editorial staff full time that same year after graduation. In 2008, he moved to sister publication "Field & Stream," where he was named Fishing Editor in 2011. His writing appears monthly in the magazine, he writes for one of Field & Stream's blogs “ The Lateral Line” , and also hosts and produces Field & Stream's "Hook Shots," an award winning web-based fishing show with a punk rock edge. Cermele has fished all over the country and abroad, but when he's not traveling on assignment, you can find him on his boat chasing tuna and striped bass off the Jersey coast, pitching tubes to smallmouth bass on the Delaware River, or flyfishing for trout in New York's Catskill Mountains.
