The Fisherman Magazine Online

[scooter1010]

Hi all,
I wanted to ask everyone a question about The Fisherman Magazine. I recently subscribed to this publication and was grateful that they finally came into the 21st century by offering online access. I used to get this magazine years ago when IMHO it had more articles and information rather than the huge amount of ads they have now. I like NJ Fishing because it is nice to get up to the minute reports versus the week or so delay that happens with TFM, however I enjoy reading the articles the magazine has to offer. What I find rather annoying and find a little greedy is that you can only access the online information/articles for your particular area's edition. Wouldn't be nice if they charged you let's say ten dollars more for "premium access", that would unlock all the articles online? I mean let's face it. I don't think many subscribers sign up for multiple area editions. So if my premise is correct that means the mag doesn't take in anymore money. If they offered a premium access option I would think more people would pay ten dollars more for that online content. What are your thoughts??????

I've been reading The Fisherman since the early 1970's, (never subscribed but always bought it at a newstand since I was a kid-kinda like a tradition every Wednesday) IMHO the quality of the articles as gone seriously down hill over the past 4 or so years.

Not only were they light years behind the times in getting online but you have to be a subscriber to view most of the material.
