Few voices in the marine and recreational fishing industry carry the respect of John Brownlee. A former editor-in-chief of Salt Water Sportsman, Marlin, and InTheBite, as well as holding senior-level positions at other fishing publications, Brownlee has long been at the forefront of telling the stories that shape sport fishing culture.
Now, after recently stepping down from his role of Editor-in-Chief of InTheBite, Brownlee now turns his attention to one of the most dynamic segments in boating with the launch of Center Console Angler (CCA)—a new digital platform dedicated entirely to the boats that have redefined how we fish, travel, and live on the water.
CCA will dive deep into the full spectrum of center-console life—from cutting-edge, 50-plus-foot offshore machines to classic builds and refits, alongside profiles of builders, guides, and owners pushing the envelope.
In addition, Brownlee will remain a familiar voice across The Marlin Group, contributing regularly to Marlin’s Small Craft Advisory and InTheBite’s Center Focus departments, where his insight into center consoles and their expanding role in sportfishing will continue to inform and inspire.
