Unless you plan on making it a short career, ....you hit the nail on the head. It's really hard to offer something like that when the magazine comes out weekly. Don't make a weekly or monthly commitment like that, keep it spontaneous and surprising.... tossing one in from time to time. Everyone likes short stories, true or not....throw some of them in there, we all know you can tell some
stories 
..and with all the internet heroes wanting to be published, you're sure to fill a Gig with that alone.
I did notice a "cartoon" in last months issue, is that something new that's here to stay? That takes up space and can be comical -
For the most part, I never expect too much from a weekly fishing publication, I enjoy it....whether the articles are interesting or not. It's just big enough for a couple of flushes....and every once and awhile, I clip some pages. It's a very inexpensive publication for a weekly mag, so I would think if the shipping got corrected, that alone would inspire people to come back.
Maybe they should offer a "Best of the Year" issue in full color on better quality paper for SUBSCRIBERS ONLY. An incentive for people to join, not something you can buy at the newstand. Something like OTW has at the shows. Don't wear yourself out, there's only so much you can put in a weekly fishing mag -
Best of luck to ya -
