hoosierbass07 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Most people including me know about Bass Master magazine and In-Fisherman magazine. I know there are other bass and fishing magazines out there too. But I recently stumbled upon another magazine and fishing club that I never hear about until a few weeks ago. I was looking on the iTunes app site and found an app for the North American Fisherman club/magazine. I looked them up and started reading their online magazines. I am sort of impressed with their writing style. Their articles, at least to me, are easy to understand and simple and not too wordy. Have any of you out there ever read the magazine and if so what did you think of it? Did you join their organization? I believe it's $12.00 a year. I was thinking of sending them a money order for one year but wanted to get opinions first. From their online magazine articles, I really like their writing style. Any opinions of this magazine and organization?
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted December 22, 2013 Super User Posted December 22, 2013 I was a member for a few years. If you like the magazine and think it is worth $12 a year for the magazine, I say you should join. But don't be enticed by all of the other gimmicks they offer like field testing gear, free gifts, etc. You will most likely rarely be chosen to field test anything (I think I got to field test 2 things in the several years I was a member) and the stuff they send you is usually junk (I think I got a sample size bottle of sunscreen that claimed not to repel fish... they sent me this both times I field tested anything), yet they advertise that they send members kayaks and rod/reel combos to field test. Also be prepared for them to pester you about becoming a life member and all of the "benefits" you will receive. They kept sending me stuff for a good year or two after I stopped paying for my membership, asking me to renew my subscription and become a life member, etc. Bottom line: If you like the magazine and can put up with the gimmicky/annoying stuff they pull, then I think it would be worth $12 a year... seems reasonable for a subscription to a magazine that you will enjoy. 1
