Experienced fishermen don't need it, but for newcomers, it's got useful information. That's how I sorta got started on and learned from reading those articles.
In-Fisherman is a waste of money. Almost every magazine out there these days are a waste. Nothing but repeat topics and advertisements, written by writers who are paid to push product.
A few years ago my Granddaughter was selling magazines for school. I subscribed to a couple. One was Field and Stream. It turned out to be a really good magazine. Stories just like the old days. I saved them to read in deer camp. Then they went quarterly. That was okay I guess. Then they went digital. Didn't do me much good in deer camp with no electricity, or computer. I contacted them. They said I was S**t out of luck. Didn't get a refund either.
I always thought what few stories there were in the guie. All were the same exact script only the names changed to protect the paid for " opinion ".See if the rest of you read it the same way I do. The " writer " will assume the identity of HERO. Here we go. HERO meets up with his usual gang of buds for some hot ice action. But unfortunately the fish are tight lipped for one reason or another. This part at least has some variety. HERO is having bad luck just like the rest of his crew.Then HERO remembers he has some new this year lure. No one else in the crew has it. The HERO was the only farsighted person to actually purchase this new " killer lure ". Even though millions was spent advertising the thing.As our HERO pulls it from his tackle storage. It is suspect or even laughed at by the rest of the crew. But their lack of confidence is soon replaced by astonishment. The HERO starts slamming the fish just like years past. Guess the fish aren't feeding at all until they see something NEW. Luckily the HERO was far sighted enough to buy several of these wonder lures. HERO passes out some to his cohorts.The fish so eagerly attack the thing. They all have to turn their back to their holes so the fish quit leaping on the ice to get at the thing. ( Slightly exaggerating here ). So everyone goes home happy with buckets of fish.But yeah I will probably buy one too LOL
I’m pretty experienced and I still pick up some tips or new gear ideas. Last year I bought some new micro soft plastics based on an article and in two different occasions it helped me when nothing else seemed to work. I enjoy all of the “advertisements”. P3 plastics crawzi:
