Flap -
If you're saying the place is populated by people whom you don't really care for on a personal level, and who's philosophy runs counter to your own, then dealing with them should not be a problem for you. That exuse won't fly here at SRI central.
Look at the facts: Stories revolving around inshore boating within the striper fishery are their favorites. And, they are running the occasional surf story once again. You're a good fit. Forget that other stuff, and get to scribbling. Don't try and span the gap in one piece, just a story that steps outside the box. (Not that you need to be told.)
You have to put aside the things you don't like and look at the big picture. Otherwise, you're just another bitter voice in the wilderness. If you did an outstanding article, one that resulted in a flood of (positive) letters and emails from the readership - believe me, it would set the stage for similar content and change.
