Tony, some day there just might be a Mid-Atlantic version of On the Water and you could be the NJ guy. Don't laugh, you never know.

I got my monthly OTW yesterday...readit...today, and when i got home got a notice saying my OTW subs was exp.(please renew)

I find it funny cuz its the first time ive ever read it before most of you......... it seems...every other time..i was always behind the OTW MAG talk on here.

Honestly.....i think OTW has run out of spots, lures * tech-neechs, its become redundant...its all the same!!!!! just different styles of talk/type...........

i got OTW as a gift last year...in all honesty...iwont renew.....im tired of reading about the same spots %nd techs i already know or can learn or know tide, google map, free online depth charts....

OTW, i enjoyed looking at your pics.. and some reading, but im alset w/ my renewal.

sorry

I have to agree. I didn't renew my subscription to The Fisherman for the same reason. Same stuff over and over. I actually had 2 copies of The Fisherman, 2 years apart with the exact same article by Tim Coleman....word for word.

How true, Tony. I'm starting to believe I have become jadded.

Hey everbody gets info from different places.
The internet provides lots of info.
U don't get articles from seasoned writers like Joe Lyons,Tim Coleman.Carl Johansen,(Taught me lots on the ditch) on the internet.
For the short money the mag cost's per yr(less than some custom plugs). I enjoy sitting down with dinner or afterwards on the throne with a good article.U don't get stuff like Zeno's article on cullin Big fish on metal lips.On the internet.
I didn't know Al Bentsen only throws metal lips when he's not doing the rigged eel thing.Of course u have no Idea who Al Bentsen is.Or Donny Musso for that matter.Know for his plugmaking artistry,He is also one of the best pluggers out on Montauk..
Steve McKenna was chosin to write a very informative article on fishin after a storm.U got nothing out of that??
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s 50 came after a storm...I thought i read that here...
Not On the internet...
I have read ur post's u basically struggle in the surf.Try reading between the lines.The mag has so much more to offer besides spots....
I guess it's because I come from a time before there was the internet.I usta wait by the mailbox to get my fishing reading jones fullfilled.For 25 dollars a yr.if u get one thingt out of it that helps u get a decent fish then it's worth it...IMO.

NIB,

OTW was cool when I first started learning. (not saying I know everything)

I've just lost interest in OTW (seems like 75% the same old stuff),
& fishing in general.

I'm just not as into anymore...

(sorry didnt mean to jack your thread...I was inebriated last night when I posted)

Hey we all go thru phases.When I was younger I liked to drink on a tues.eve also.Decided i was spendin to much time hungover an lots of life was passing me by.I got back into fishing my as i needed something to do.Now I can't imagine my life without it.
Live life to the fullest wether its bikes,fishing or whatever.
Sure fishin is hard. No likes to tell about the bad nights they get conviently erased from our memory banks.Productive spots are harder,rocks,waves bad wether.U get out there an hookup with the one u came for an it all makes sense again.
There's no time to waste on booze..
Life just goes so fast.
It's hard enough to keep up straight.

it's the bottle talkin'. You should take a break. I get to the point where I loose "the eye of the tiger" too. We all do. When that happens, take a break. A few days off won't kill you.
