I have been a subscriber to the Fisherman since 86 or 87 and OTW since a couple of issues of it's inception in 96 and I like both of them.
I believe that the Fisherman's ability to put out a weekly publication gives it a unique niche that no other magazine has ever filled. With the flip of a few pages in the report section you can get a feel for everything that's going on from Lake Ontario to Quabbin, Wachusett, Cod Reports, Surf Reports, Tuna Reports etc.. and lots of times mentioning people you know. Do I really care if the reports are a week old. Nope not in the least. I prefer to see that some dude I haven't seen in five years weighed in two six pound smallmouths last week at Wachusett, or what DZ or Tim Coleman did in the surf. It's all part of what makes fishing in New England great.
And the Fisherman gives you weekly articles by the likes of Coleman, Sampson, Lyons, Daignault, White, Teehan, Soares and other good writers who have been around for a long time. Zach I give you two thumbs up for a great job.
