Sea Angler Magazine.

[wingnut55]

Yes, i know this magazine is not the most popular amongst us anglers, but i have read it from the very first one published, its something to read i suppose. But i may not be buying it anymore, since the now editor took over, it has been slowly having more and more Boat fishing articles, of no interest to me at all, its got to the point that its about 70% of the bloody mag......

So, today whilst in Asda where i normally buy it, the latest copy was on the shelfs, big Yellow envelope, feck me its got a copy of the boat angler inside as well, and £6.50 ta boot, so i have the Sea Angler which is nearly all boat angling, but bugger me i also have a mag dedicated to it. So i wont be purchasing it any more.

No offence is meant to our Boat Angling fraternity....

Rant over.

Give up buying Sea Angler 10 years ago after buying it for about 5years.

Only ever bought it on monthly subscription when free reel with it.

Got tedious around that time with repeated stuff.

And they "gave" a page to The AT

I read this months mag, well about 35% of it, I just flick past the boat angler section too

I like picking up a mag every now and then , thinking back though it's probably 2 years since I have. Might get next months and leave a review on here lol.

Similar here. They were giving away a rod with subscription. When I phoned up,they couldn't guarantee that I would get a rod. So bye bye to subscription. Haven't bought it for years.

Think I've skimmed through one or two copies in my lifetime - can't remember if I bought them or was given them. Haven't looked at a copy for years.
They seemed to be more adverts than articles, and with so much available on the Hinterweb now, don't need it.

The only magazine I've ever subscribed to was PC Pro, when I did my Computer HND and was trying to get into the industry for work back in the 90's. Think there's about 120 copies boxed up in a cupboard!

My son buys me a subscription as part of his Christmas presents for me, I wouldn't buy it for myself due the declining standard of content even though I do a fair bit of boat fishing.

I gave up with all magazines a good few years ago. I appreciate advertising pays for the content but found most mags style are huge photos, lots adverts and very little text. A secondhand book seems a far better purchase in my view.

Mike millman has done some good articles on old school fishing down here recently! Otherwise not interested in going abroad after marlin or lrfing for blennys,leakyboots is a good bass angler though!

its bollox

Same twenty articles re-written time after time after time.
Pick up half a dozen second hand copies and keep reading them. Just as informative as getting it each month.

I gave up reading it years ago ,for the same reason as you wingnut55

If you buy a subscription for six months, you only pay £24.99, saving you £2.01, feck me ill pass.
