Bassmaster is still good, you just have to learn how to make what they say work for you. Most of their articles are based on the waters back east.
Yamamoto... :-( Unless you fish nothing but his baits, and don't mind adds about his baits on every other page...stay away.
Bass West...The only way to go! Very informative. They cover traditional and new techniques. They also cater to the West Coast, but don't leave out techniques that will work anywhere.
Bassin' Magazine is another add filled rag. Strike King this and Strike King that. Phooey :P
I also receive WON (week old news) :+
I just like to know what's going on around California and see the big fish pics. They cover everything...salt, trout, cats, bass even hunting.

SLM thanks for the info.
It's been a long time since I have been a subscriber to either Inside Line or Bass West. It sounds like they have both kinda done a 180? Not that that's a bad thing, but different then when I used to read them on a regular basis.
I did receive a free Bass West from TW recently and I see what you mean about the Anglers Choice. And on the other side, when I used to read Inside Line, they only had like 4 or 5 writers and they almost always covered different techniques relating to Yammies baits and what their tour pros were doing.

the one beef i have with won ,was that when my subscription expired and i didnt re-up . all of a sudden i start recieving junk mail from loreto,b.c. ,and most recently a mailing from washinton d.c. based conservation dealy, stating they basically got my info from that magazine and wants me to send them x amount.it discouraged me from wanting to want to reorder.which i was planning to do @the ventura fred hall tackle show. thanks my 2 cents ,peace out, brian Catch Alot,Photograph a few,Release them all...

yeah, but Roland still owns 9 AOY titles on B.A.S.S., son! Guy is making money doing what he loves, just let the Barn's pad his wallet with the crap that he peddles (as I look at the tube of Mega Strike on my desk with his signature on it, DOH!), he still rips at fishing- He is the Babe Ruth of product whores, but it seems to work out pretty well for him. Oh yeah, I like Bass West (or my postman does, it never gets to my house!) and Inside Line; the Green Liar isn't worth the paper it's printed on, although I read it religiously as a grom (Dude, Irvine Lake is going OFF!). I can't believe the people at B.A.S.S. still print that Harry and Charlie cartoon, it was stupid when I was 12 and I can't imagine it has gotten better, pretty much sums up that mag.
