fishing magazines

Featured Replies

I was just wondering what fishing magazines you subscribe to or read regularly.  Thanks in advance

Bassmasters only ,have been for 20+ years. You can learn a lot from it I know I did.

Bassmaster, In-fisherman, Field and Stream. In-fisherman is my fav.

I read Bassmasters, Bassin and Infisherman,  I find that Infisherman generaly the best even though its multi species they seem not to be a big advertisement for the pros and there sponsers.

Bassmaster, Bassin, and Gary Yamamoto's Inside Line.  All three very good reading and informative.  All three worth the subscription price.  In-Fisherman is enjoyable reading but is not dedicated to just bass fishing.  ADDED:  If you are a boat owner, you can not go wrong investing in subscriptions to "Bass & Walleye Boats" and "Trailer Boats" (more for run abouts and larger pleasure boats but has some good general articles on boating).  These have some excellent articles to keep you "out of trouble".  lol

In-Fisherman, Inside Line and Bassmaster

Bassmaster, In-Fisherman, Field and Stream, and Virginia Game and Fish. IMO the best one is Bassmaster, but for local info the best would be VA Game and Fish.

Bassin' is my favorite.  It's the only one that I subcribe to.  I don't really follow the pro tours all that much and I like to learn something from the magazines and Bassin' is pretty much geared towards educating the angler and I like that.

I read Bassmaster sometimes too.  Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's okay.  Eventually I'm going to get around the subcribing to it.

Bassmaster and Bass and Walleye Boats.... I look forward the B&WB more so than Bassmaster because it has alot of informative articles and how too's.

#1 Bassmaster #2 Texas Fish and Game (for all of you that read or get this my picture is in the june 2006 issue. it is in the photo album section near the back. oh yeah it's a picture of a deer so don't look for a bass. the name is isaac stephens)

#3 Journal of the Texas Trophy Hunters Association (hunting magizine)

I subscribe to all of those. but i would like to try Bassin magizine.

MS Woods & Waters, Bassin, & MS Game & Fish

hey.... does MS mean Mississippi? (did i spell it right? i doubt it! ;D)

in-fisherman and soon bassmaster, My wife got me a 2 year sub. with in-fisherman, I only read one of their Magz, and i was really impressed. I like the fact that it covers every species.

I also like NAFC Magz.

Uh..field & Stream sometimes...but usually don't read fishing magazines...if I need some help I come on here or my bait shop and I learn something new everytime I am on here or at my baitshop. It is a lot cheaper to do it my way.

RoLo is the only one mentioning Fishing Facts,a magazine that  tywenty years ago gave me more kniowledge of crankbait fishing than anything Ive ever seen in print.Excellent choice.

Bassmaster only. It has definitely made me a better fisherman. I look forward to reading it each month and find it hard waiting for the next issue to come in the mail.

Tennsopher, I remember when Al and Ron Lindner left Fishing Facts to start their own publication

which of course was the "In-Fisherman" (1975). I still have handwritten letters from Al Lindner,

when he & I corresponded back-and-forth. Then of course he got too busy and too famous

to bother with some fisherman about 1000 miles away >:(

Roger,

 My first issues of Bass master were given to me by a guy named John Therell whom fished the early tournament trail .I dated his daughter.This was about 68 or 69 I believe.Bill Dance was king and Bobby Murray was atwo time classic champ.I believe Spence Petros might have been a contributor to the mag at that time.Too bad many northern fishermen never read night crawler secrets a classic,and I believe one of his works.Im a southerner and Al and Ron Linder I give all the respect in the world as bass fishermen whether up North or down South.Ive been priveledged to share the boat with the great Billy Wetmoreland when I wasyoung(he was my best friends cousin)and hes kin to my mom.Still,I dont think he had much on Al and Ron though he was the best light tackle fisherman Ive ever seen.

Roger,

That's really amazing!

Bill Dance was king and Bobby Murray was a two time classic champ.

Bobby Murray had a short but brilliant career, his stats were almost in the same league as KVD.

I'm sure very few fellows today even heard of Ray Murski or Ricky Green.

Yes, I read the softback "Nightcrawler Secrets" too, a book that gets into worm beddings

and air-injected worms. I also read Buck Perry's book on "Spoon Plugging"

Ive been priveledged to share the boat with the great Billy Wetmoreland when I wasyoung (he was my best friends cousin) and hes kin to my mom. Still,I dont think he had much on Al and Ron

though he was the best light tackle fisherman Ive ever seen.

Wow, that certainly was a privilege!

Billy wrote "Them Ole Brown Fish", he caught (two) 8 lb smallies on 4 lb test. When he was still alive

I vacationed in Celina and picked up his Hoss Flies (and some Pedigo Spinrites).

Truthfully though, I did better in Dale Hollow with my own hair jig & trailer.

So many great memories, the only sad thing is how fast those years slide away :(

I can't believe how many people are missing out on Bass West and Yamamoto's Inside Line!!  Those 2 are the best of the best.  Both of these articles in these magazines are written by serious anglers who are outdoor writers.  I highy reccomend them both.  All of  the articles appeal to pretty much all areas in the US.
