Anyone seen this yet or know when to expect it? I went to there site and there was no info yet, and I cant remember when it came out last year.
They have great articles and excellent info on new equipment, I think that mag cost me more then anything else last season
-
I did a search on here and found some people were getting them(2006 issue) last year toward the end of October. Shouldn't be too much longer.

I ordered mine last week! 8)
The new 2007 issue is out! :)
Call 800-260-6397, it seems their website is goofed somehow.
They are advertising it toward the back of the Oct-Nov issue.
-
What is the cost for these
-
$6 CDN or less for you Americans
-
Thats not bad for some quality info
-
What is the cost for these
$5 US
-
I ordered mine last Friday 10/6. Website store is down so had to call it in. Cost $5.00.
-
why would you pay 5 dollars to be pitched advertisments for what in-fisherman has been paid to get you to buy ??? ??? ??? ???
but hey whatever i guess

That is the reason I buy that issue of In-fisherman, I want to see all the new gear that is available. There is also some valuable articles in the mag, but lots od adverts

thats the point...... the whole thing is an advertisment
your only seeing what they have been paid to show you
your on the internet...its ALL here if you look

-
The whole point of buying it is because it scratches a little itch that has been festering all summer.Sure ,you can probably find all the new stuff online,but how do you know what to do a search for if it is NEW?
-
What I like about the In-Fisherman ice mag is that I find it has way more unbiased articles in it. It seems to offer a greater rundown of types of lures, rods, shelters and whatnot to use as compared to many other mags which have articles all written by an iceteam member so all they use are FishTrap, StrikeMaster, Lindy, Vexilar, Ice Armour, Mr. Heater and so on and so forth like these are the "be all and end all" the market has to offer. The name-dropping is nauseating at best, but since there really are only a handful of ice edition mags I do buy them all and weed out the important information at my leisure.

There are some good articles in there, if you look
How does an advertiser influence an article on patterning fish behavior?
If it wasn't for advertisers, the publication wouldn't exist!
Has anyone else noticed that In-Fisherman's Magisine keeps getting skinnier? **censored**? it used to take me a few nights to read through it, now it takes a half hour. ??? :(
-
Believe it or not, I've never seen it in Alaska. That's OK, all if the info in it is aimed at Southern Canada and Northern U.S. We don't have bluegill, crappie, perch, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, rock bass, catfish, musky, brown trout, pickerel, walleye, sauger, saugeye, etc... I realize that reading this list can be pretty depressing. What we do have is rainbow trout, dolly varden, arctic char, pike, burbot, sheefish, whitefish, lake trout, and oh yeah...
SIX MONTHS OF ICE!!!!!!!
-
hey mike in n. maine we have the same except for the sheefish and dolly varden. i find that fishing is fishing no matter what your fishing for. try panfish techniques on whitefish or trout and you might learn something. ive used my lake trout techniques for muskie and it produced big time. i find every fish has its own specific behavior but they all have the basics in common. like pike and largemouths are 2 completly different fish but yet they share alot of common behavior. they are both agressive predators that prefer shallow water with weeds. therefore similiar tactics work for both. i have a guy ive fished with in s. maine that jigs for lakers with light tackle and panfish jigs and does just as well as the guy pounding the bottom with a 1/2 oz.pimple. i never turn down any fishing literature for that very reason. just my 2 cents.
-
It fulfills another start up of a hopefully long ice fishing season. It's a right of passage for me every year to order one and then I let the fellers enjoy it at work and when I'm done re reading it 3 or 4 times I put it with my collection since 1999. To me it's $5 well spent while pacing for the long awaited wait of walking on top. Yes they have definitely gotten thinner as far as substance but it's still a must have for us ice fishing junkies. ;D

Because you can't take your computer to the can man. :woot:
-
Hey that is a very good answer you can never have enough reading material
-
Icey Mike Your just mean 6 month of ice And the largest cabbages in the world you have it all
-
TonyMc: :o ;D That is a great answer indeed. :tipup:
It soothes the itch for a few weeks, reading an article here and there, like savoring the flavor, till you can get on ice itself. :D 8) :tipup: Fish On!
-
Because you can't take your computer to the can man. :woot:
thats a fact and welcome to the shanty
-
Aside from some imformative articles, there are always some awesome fish pictures. A couple of years ago I ordered online, but last year I noticed a local news agency carries it. Anyway, if you don't like the info you can always look at the pics. Like Penthouse, or Playboy, but you actually have a shot at bagging some of those huge fish. Dream on, and good luck to all!

Diddo here in Northern BC except no artic char, pike, or sheefish. But we got kokanee ;D. I find a few articles that I like to read prior to heading east to Alberta or Manitoba where the species are much broader. I also like the new gear section because I like my toys.
-
ordered mine today how long does it take to get it

-

If a person subscribes to in-fisherman, does the icefishing guide come with the subscription or does it have to be purchased separately? ???
WW
-
Water Wolf - You have to purchase it seperately.

Is this something that can be picked up at the local book store?

Yes. Last year I picked one up at a Border's. If you have a Gander Mountain near you, they usually carry them also.

Thanks! :tipup:
-
I got mine a lunch time. Almost every book store in town has them in stock. Ganders also have them.
-
I'm going to get me a copy as well,,,just to see what new gear is going to be available for this upcoming season. As for the articles.,,,, I could care less. I've been subscribing to the In-Fishermen and the Walleye Insider for years and I find that most of the published articles in the guide are reprints from previous issues of the regular magazine. Kind of annoying to read same stuff twice. Pictures are pretty though and it gets me exited about the new season, so I guess it's worth the money.
-
Got mine too. They had to put it in an envelope so all of Ice Team's crap didn't fall out. ;D
-
How long did it take you guys to get yours after ordering im still waiting. I staopped at My Mills Fleet Farm today and there sat a pile of them if only I new they were going to get some. They thought they just got them in this morning. 4.99 cover price and an extra 10% off of that.I should have waited but how can you just wait.
-
I stopped at Fleet yesterday and looked, NOTHING.....same story at the local book store. :'( >:( :'(
-
I ordered last Friday and received it yesterday in the mail. A lot of Lowrance stuff and a Nature Vision Aqua View DVD in there. I read the articles and threw it on top of my collection. Liked the ventilator Angel Eyes from JB and ordered a couple today along with about $40 worth of stuff I did not need. ::)
-
I think it took a week to get mine.

Got my issue today Don :) Thanks for the reference...A lot of Ice Team advertising...Sent them an email about a month ago with no reply?
Nice handlefull of helpfull info in the issue though...
Going to watch the DVD tonight, I am guessing it is all about Nature Visions products?
-
I have Nature Vision sending me their latest DVD in the mail right now, turns out it's probably the same one I just got in the mag, haven't watched it yet tho... if it's anything like anything else that is IceTeam related they'll be shoving everything from Vexilar to Arctic Cat to Lindy to Christian Brothers Brandy down your throat... oh yeah, StrikeMaster augers too >:(

I never really idolized Ice Team, but rather admired the way they have moderized ice fishing. :D Portable is the way to go ;)

You bet, thats where I got the "run and gun" mentality too. It is just depressing to know these people are not objective, its all about the $$$$$. I guess I cant blame Dave Genz though, if someone gave me fee gear and then paid me to fish with it I would not object. I guess he has to make a living, and it sure beats work. ;)
I just watched the Nature Vision DVD, its put together rather well. It is admirable of them to put there stuff out there for all to see. It is nice to see products in use, instead of a sales pitch in a magazine.

is there much more we can learn ???i agree throneroom library needs to be constantly restocked ;D mofish

I just stopped by B & N and they didn't have any at the one that I stopped at. >:(
-
Got mine in the mail 15 mins ago.....I am debating when I want to read it cuz once I start I will not stop
-
I checked Border's in Clifton Park and no dice there either >:(
I was there last night. :'(
-
Maybe Wally World has them ??? If not I'm just going to order the darn thing from the IF website :-\
I was thinking the same. >:(
-
I got mine at Walmart last night (in ND).
-
I got mine yesterday in some random town in central Wisconsin.
-
slipbob,camo don't know if you guys have a wegmans around you but that is where i found one, had no luck at wally-world.
-
It's been a week and no show of mine. I have never been so excited to go to the mail box each day. After it does show up I'll be b***hen about the bills again
-
I picked up a copy at the Gander Mtn. in lockport off of the 290. The rack was totally full, I must have gotten the first one!! ;D ;D
-
I just picked one up at wal mart here in cny :tipup:
-
Finally, the local stores now have the Guide....and a nice little DVD with it as well, cant wait to dig in
-
Decoying Big Crappies by Cory Schmidt on pg.54......Amazing article :)
-
Barnes and Noble in Wilton has the In-fisherman and F&W icefishing guides. :thumbsup: I picked them up today. :clap: Along with my Dec. issue of Infisherman the other day too. Lots of good icefishing reading to maybe last me a month so the ice can form. ;)2 :thumbsup:
:tipup: Fish On!
-
I love both these mags and for differnt reasons, as stated above I like that In-fisherman is full of ads on new gear, so I can see what is on the market, and F&W is full or great information and articles....both mags are great ice reading
-
Going to Mags and Fags 2morrow to grab the f&w 2007 guide :) Can't wait to start flipping through it ;)
-
Got mine today. It had two merchandise guides and a pretty informative dvd on new products coming this year
but the magazine was the same ol' same ol'.
-
I was traveling last week and picked them both up for the plane ride. Really gets me pumped up for the upcoming season and the F+W mag had a decent article on PA's Lake Wallenpaupack.
Not a bad "intro offer" in the In-fisherman mag if you're really in need of some visual fishing stimulation... you can pick a "how to" DVD for FREE (well, kind of free... $6.00 for S+H) and yes, there are a few ice fishing titles.
-
I got it at Meijer a few days ago. I liked it. The decoying for crappie article was my favorite. Makes me want a chubby darter. I also liked the DVD. Advertising aside, its fun to watch people icefishing if you ask me. Especially when theyre actually catching fish.
