I love the magazine, not a subscriber but I get it when I see it, and lately I've really enjoyed it. I especially liked "The Ballerina" article, great read. I will be a subscriber now that I know a fellow s-b member has taken over. Keep up the good work!

Dave, love your articles. I especially like the last one on plug building. It had my MOASS Danny, Dk blue pink stripe prominently displayed in the middle of the photo.

Good stuff :lama:

Looks fine to me. I had a small problem with no show issues but Kat took care of that ans mailed them to me. After about 3 weeks my regular issues started showing up but Kat's were here a day earlier.

What you need is more photos of physically fit, dark haired, young guys holding up schoolies. :laugha:

Chiola the scum still has many molds..I hear he occsionally sells stuff of flea bay..
A friend of mine and I did acquire quite a few When John Byrnes passed...Probably 20-30 different ones.U'll never see these on any auction site.Thats the way he would have wanted it..

Nice fish Paul..Hopefully I can read something like that agian from u in the future..:musc:

While I keep saying that I’m going to subscribe but still haven’t gotten around to it yet, I’ve enjoyed the issues that I picked up since you’ve taken over. It’s a tough job putting together a weekly magazine, especially a fishing magazine where the same things tend to get written about over and over by the same handful of guys, with a lot of the more valuable information held back. I think what you’ve done very well is getting new perspectives (new writers) on old topics and breathing some new life into the magazine. Sure, some are going to complain when new writers come along (the whole “who is he to give advice” or “what has he done” attitude) but at least its fresh, and just because someone doesn’t have 30 years in the surf or boat, doesn’t mean they can’t provide valuable information. Keep it up. Oh, and you have good taste in cover “models” :hihi:

Keep up the good work Bud.

Oh yeah ;)

Thanks for all the input everyone. It's really been a help. I may bump this thread mid-season to see if I'm still doing okay :laughs:

Thanks,
-Dave

If I can get my copy every week by thursday between now and May 15th
. I will personally take you out fishing on my boat

Dave, I will be visiting you at the RISAA show in April. I've been reading my friends lately since we last PM'd. I have found the plug building tutorials of great help. As far as what I'd like to see, I like the idea of S-Bers writing for the mag.

I used to get Field & Stream a long time ago and the section I used to look forward to more than anything else was "Tap's Tips" I believe it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but a page like this every issue would be a great benefit.

Keep up the great work.

i forgot about the old field and stream tips and tapd that would be great also the plug building peces i have found to be tremendously helpful hope those are here to stay.the hotspots were cool to but spot burning stinks could go eiher way on that one,no prblems with delivery to date all is good with me keep it up

Oh Paul - I forgot to mention - SWEEEEEET FISH :btu:

Any chance of setting up a website that contained feature articles from back issues that was open to subscribers?
