Fishing Mags

[sightfisher]

Okay, now that many of us have vented on aspects of North American Fishing Club, what are the recommendations that everyone has for good fishing/outdoor publications ?

Bassmaster and In-Fisherman

[Lunker]

In-fishermen is a great all around fishing mag. I like field & stream for all around outdoors.

I've also at times had subscriptions to:

Bassin(was a good bass mag then, don't know about now)

NAFC(which i already vented on)

Outdoor Life(basically the same as field and stream but not as good)

MN Sportsmen(good, but a lot of the same stuff every year)

Bassmaster(decent, but too many product endorsement when i had it)

Infishermen- I have years worth and I just cycle them through the bathroom reading rack

Just got my first In-Fisherman mag last month and have to say that I am impressed with the articles but still too many ads. However with the cost of everything today I guess it's an evitable part of the magazine industry.

I agree InFisherman has too many adds and is not as good as it use to be but it still is probably the best out there. I have been a subscriber since the first magazine came out in the 1970s. They started the magazine with no ads at all but quickly learned they couldn't make it on subscription price along. The early magazines were like gold full of information on where fish will be based on time of year, specific locations on structure, best presentation for any given situation. Information that was inpossible to get anywhere else at the time. Whenever I go back and read them I learn something about location or presentation that I have not tried or forgotton.

I don't mind the ads as long as I care about what they're writing about. My buddy gave me a subscription to IF I like it. I would like to see a mag focussed on Smallmouth. Sometimes the bass mags don'e seem to be geared toward fishing noth of Arkansas.

T-water, I couldn't agree more about your comment on a lack of good smallmouth publications. And what little is out there is geared to resevoirs, stump fields, shad, and bluff banks, etc. Although, I do enjoy the articles by Matt Straw and Steve Quinn at In-fisherman, I just wish there were more of them. And Anglers Edge video series is darn good too.
