Like BigFish, I learned a real lot about the area I now fish and had been fishing all my life from all the writers at On The Water magazine. I knew how to catch some fish from the shores and bridges that I'd fish with with my Dad, however, once we got a boat and knew how to run it, On The Water taught me the techniques and all the general areas that I now fish. The incredible thing is that I've only been able to fish about 10-20% of all the possible areas in the roughly 30 mile radius that I can run to.
So for me, the people I learned from are all the writers from On The Water. When that magazine came out in 1996/1997, I would read it cover to cover until 98 and I still pick it up from time to time as it still reminds me about a trick or thing or two, not like I know it all because I surely don't, but for someone who was just starting out, there was, and I still think, no better publication for a fisherman. Of course this site and many others satisfy the free-ask all you want information that so many seem to want without putting in the time.
