Neal,

I agree completely that your mag has more reading material (atricles/columns) than most or all of the competition. And OTW, in my opinion, is the best regional fishing mag there is for the inshore and offshore fisheries in new england. I also want to compliment you on a format option. I absolutely love that your articles are complete...and not (continued on page 98).

Where I think the complaints lie or at least my complaints lie in terms of advertising is the sheer volume an distribution of the advertising. I really doubt I could balence the volume and distribution any better, but I do find it distracting and takes away from the overall enjoyment of the magazine.

the other complaint I want to echo is the "rehashing of info" I do agree that I get a sense of De ja vue often reading OTW. I am part way through an article, and I start thinking I have already read it before, seems like a re-use of information. Who knows maybe I read the info here, which became the inspiration for the article.

Keep up the good work. I do like the magazine and will be renewing my subscription. But I do encourage some changes in advertising.

Keep lines wet and tight in the pacific
