Inside Angles
GUIDES TO BETTER
FISHING
by Doug Stange, Editor In Chief
IN-FISHERMAN magazine
has always been written to ride the cutting edge of what's happening
in freshwater fishing. We offer the "inside" scoop on the pursuit of
bass; walleyes; catfish; pike; muskies; crappies, perch, and various
other panfish; plus stripers; trout; and a variety of other
freshwater species, from a staff and friends who have more fishing
experience than any other group in freshwater fishing.
The
object is to teach you how to catch more fish, as we also immerse you
in the fishing scene--the hottest spots to fish, the most current
ideas in fishery science, the best art, the most reflective writing,
and even the best ways to prepare your catch.
While many of the ideas expressed in In-Fisherman are
timeless, each magazine is also timely. In-Fisherman arrives in your
home seven times a year during key fishing periods, in order to offer
seasonal perspectives. When we write, we like to think we're offering
a message just for you--your own seasonal seminar to enjoy in the
comfort of your home.
Most of you, though, are so hardcore that you'd like even more.
You fish for a variety of species, but also have favorites you'd like
to concentrate on, particularly during the preseason. This season we
offer even more about some of those favorite species with our annual
publications, the Walleye Guide, the Catfish Guide, and
the Bass Guide.
From its inception in 1986, the Walleye Guide has
consistently been the highest-selling newsstand fishing annual in
history, testimony to the interest level of walleye anglers, and to
the consistently fine quality of the information in the guide.
Meanwhile, introduced last year, the Catfish Guide quickly
became the most successful introduction in the history of
In-Fisherman. We plan to print even more copies this year, so the
thousands of folks who couldn't find a Catfish Guide last
season won't be disappointed this year.
But, at this point, we're curious. Will the Catfish Guide
outsell the Walleye Guide? Or will our newly introduced
Bass Guide outsell them both? The Bass Guide, by the
way, primarily covers fishing for largemouths and smallmouths,
although the other four black bass species (particularly the spotted
bass) receive coverage, too.
Each guide is a solid learning tool designed to help you
understand each respective fish species and how to find and catch
them. They're comfortable magazines you can sit with before the
hardcore portion of the season begins and then keep at your side as
the season unfolds--right alongside the seasonal seminars offered in
In-Fisherman magazine.
The Bass Guide arrives on newsstands January 14, the
Catfish Guide and Walleye Guide, February 4. Or you can
reserve copies that will be shipped directly to you just before the
newsstand date arrives, by writing In-Fisherman, P.O. Box 2676,
Brainerd, MN 56401, or phone 800/441-1740. Each guide is $5, which
includes postage and handling.
