Fishing magazines

[vaparrothead]

If you want to get info on strictly bass fishing plus alot of info on tournments then BassMaster mag is the one for you.  If you want more general freshwater fishing info (bass, catfish, bream, etc) then In Fisherman.

[BASS fisherman]

I would suggest In fisherman.  If you decide to subscribe, goto the In fisherman website, and you can get a 1 year sub. for $12.00.  And they will send you adds were you can order some of their books.  I have 1 called Largemouth Bass, The In-Fisherman book of Stratagies.  It is a very good, and detailed book.  Even a top pro could learn stuff from reading their books.

I like bassmaster, and if you want something more than a monthly publication...there is plenty of info on this site to keep you reading for a while.

The one or two bass articles in one issue of In-Fisherman is generally better than a whole issue of say, Bassmaster.

The new bass edition of FLW is pretty good, Al Linder is on board, you might check it out muddy man.

When my subscription to Bass Times expires, I will not renew it. I'm sick and tired of reading the editor Matt Vincent injecting his politics into everything he writes. He no doubt is a puppet of ESPN but he can still make points without his subtle, and sometimes blatant remarks. I subscribe to a fishing magazine for fishing information, not some fool's agenda-based political opinions.

I've been getting In-Fisherman for for at least 20 years. It's still the best in my opinion. Been getting Bassin' for about ten years, and will keep doing so. I screwed up and subscribed to Bassmaster after about a five year layoff. A friend of mine told me that it was better than it used to be. BS. If anything, it's worse. I will not be renewing that one. It's not worth it for the two or three good articles per year, and I could care less about what some tournament "pro" is doing. What they call fishing bears only a superficial resemblance to what I call fishing.

I like Bassin and advanced bass tactics . Advanced Bass tactics cost $15.00 But I think it is the best ,very detailed and tons of illustrations a new copy should be out now going to the bookstore tonight  ;D

In Fisherman is a very good read. I don't care for Bassin. BassMaster has degraded somewhat. Inside Line is a great mag but it is also one giant infomercial for GY bait. Anybody know if Fishin Facts or Honey Hole is still around. Not the XXX Honey Hole....the one from Texas.

[RoLo]

Yes, "Fishing Facts" is still around, and still superior to most bassing magazines.

Spence Petros is no longer the editor, but still writes articles for the magazine.

PS: Fishing Facts was the springboard for Al Lindner, who is now retired.

Inside line and I can't believe not one person mentioned BASS WEST.

If it wasn't for alot of the west influence of bassin, alot of those other magazines would have never had nothing to say.

Although not originated in the US, most came by way of the west.

Drop shotting, split shotting, lite line tactics, swim baits, not too mention alot of plastic designs came from the west first.    Zipper worms, 4" weenie worms, which now are just finese worms, swims, slugo's which started a whole new phase of plastics.

It may be a reach, but I'd be willing to bet that guys like Triton Mike and others alike, hardly ever get a new bait or technique that they didn't know about already, and this is predicated on your experience level.    Most magazines articles are just written different, but say the same old thing over and over.

Depends on the species you want but I do like my Bassmaster magazine. Yes it has ads but I think the physical quality as well as the articles is good. I like Crappie and am thinking about getting In-fisherman. Bassin magazine seems to me to be more interested in promoting certain lures than teaching about catching bass.   JMO

I dont understand why anyone subrcscribes to magazines anymore. There is a practically unlimited resource that I use, "the internet" . JK I just like being able to find exactly what I want, when I want it, with less obtrusive advertising. Magazines seem like such a wate of money now.

[BucketmouthAngler13]

If glenn desides to make a BassResource.com Magazine, it will (by far) be the best.

other than that, what magazine is the cheapest?

[New Bass Man]

Go with Bassin and Bassmaster.  Between the two, you'll be hooked up!

You must have a computer in the bathroom  ;D ;D

Thats funny you should say that. I do. I'm serious. Sony PSP W/ Wifi. Its the only time I ever play/use that thing. It comes in pretty handy. You'll never know when I'm posting something while "at work" ha ha ha. I do have a book in there. but no magazines, only the PSP and a book. It only works sometime because it "borrows" my neighbors wifi. he knows, its all good.

[Fish Chris]

In-Fisherman is #1 ! Bass West is a very good mag, with lots of trophy bass stuff too.... But as the name implies, its almost nothing but Western related stuff.
