Our Top Instagram Posts of 2024

With constant support and engagement from the Northeast fishing community, On The Water Magazine reached 100,000 Instagram followers in 2024. No secret here, but our readers and followers clearly have a penchant for content pertaining to striped bass, bluefin tuna, and aggressively camera-shy fluke. Our top nine IG posts since January demonstrate that fondness.

Merry Christmas from the entire On The Water team!
