Sport Fishing Flashback: Covers of the 1980s

spfcovers_1980s3bottom.png
A magazine’s cover should holler, “Look at me!!” and when it’s gotten your attention and you’ve read the blurbs, make you want to read the issue. Understandably, a lot of time and thought go into each Sport Fishing cover. We present here a decade’s worth of SF covers. Ultimately, over a three-week period, you’ll get to all SF covers, going back to our first year, 1986. After that, stand by: We’ll be asking you to vote for your favorite SF covers.
