I just bought another subscription to in - fisherman in the first part of sept. and my first issue was the june-july issue (which i already bought off the shelf) and I called them and they said, "we are sorry it counts as your first issue." i jsut had to vent to someone.

I cancelled my subscription a few years ago when they did a two issue article on gps units. They advertised it as a tell all article and I bought into it. In the end they said one unit outperformed all the others, but didn't say which one!!! They said to get a few from diff. manufacturers and go try them. I thought that was what I bought the magazine for. I'd like to see someone go into a store and ask to borrow a couple gps units for a few days. That was the end of my subscription.

Most publications, including In Fish, are designed to provide entertainment and some usefull information at the same time. Any articles written for the magazine by Staff or guest authors are meant to be alittle of both. I frequently disagree with assumptions and claims made in articles in Esox Angler, Muskie Hunter, In Fish, and others, and find some articles to be less than what I hoped for.

That doesn't mean the publication doesn't have merit. Whether one wants to keep a subscription or not is a personal issue, depending on the value of that publication to that individual. I have read articles in magazines that were, in my opinion, total fabrications, and others in the same issue that were very interesting and had strong personal value.

In Fish is still one of the largest fishing related publications in the world. I expect with the staff they have, the writers they publish, and the multi-media approach the company employs, that will be true for some time to come.

WVM - you'll get just as much muskie info if you join Muskies, Inc. The West Virginia Chapter is very active and the International has a great monthly magazine. You can contact folks at this link for more information. The annual meetings are during the winter in Vienna. m

It's still a good read, but it has really changed since the Linders sold out.
