Don't get me wrong. I have seemlessly subscribed to In Fisherman since the
mid 80's, and scattered newstand buys before that. I think they have the
best fishing magazine, shows etc out there, but when I want my favorite to
keep doing better, atleast in my opinion. That would be my answer to the
fish magazine question - keep doing what sells, but always look out for that
next angle that makes your product better than the next guys. These are
articles that children to grizzled veteran anglers can take something away
from. They also don't have to be fishing for the featured fish, the methods
work in many situtations. Combining that with an AC style with subscribers
contributing articles on top of the regular features.You would also have to
hire Chris as editor to make it work.
