Guest SuperThahn Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Still SA Angler for me. I thought it was a bit of a childs go. Dont get me wrong good on him for having a go but you dont call good fish in the send in section. "HELL FISH" That is one of the gayest things i have ever seen...

brenton 637 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Any SA fishing mag is great imo , i just read WC for the first time and enjoyed it but i thought that month old fishing reports in the regional sections was a dud.I would rather see an actual trip summary.Old fishing reports have no value past the week that they are written. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Ciaravolo 34 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yep... Its actually HellFish, and that logo means you win a HellFish T-shirt... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishnfreak 0 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 That is a good point Brenton, but as CK said, there is a mountain of good knowledge in the report sections, especially for beginning anglers who like and need to be shown what species can and should be targeted in specific areas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mick013 2 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 some good points. personally i read both and have found wild coast more informative and sometimes more interesting. i thought the last issue of SA Angler wasnt worth buying but i did anyway...to those involved in wild coast, keep doin what your doin! its a great mag.cheers michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fullysikwog 6 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 i think that wildcoast is better bcaz SA angler has to many stories on people catching massive samson fish over and wedge island and stuff like that wen most of just want to no wats been caught on our local waters so thts myview Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb4me 1 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I read and enjoy both but was a bit disappointed with both this issue. wen most of just want to no wats been caught on our local watersWhat do you class as local? To me local is upper spencer gulf for others it is metro waters. So where should they base their local reports. It is a state mag after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Good point VB,but I can see sort of where fsw is coming from.Seen quite a few aricles on some expert holding up big Sampsons or Kings, and how he is a genius at catching them,when the truth is he has bought a 1000 dollar outfit ,payed someone 1500 dollars to take him out to some ongo bongo reef 80ks off Streaky Bay or similar and been put on top of the fish.Thats great and can see that its a good way of advertising,but for the average punter...... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzEspecially in the case of one of those mags the author has vested interests in the operation he writes articles about.He used to write an article about exploits on a certain vessel,that fell through ,and bugger me dead articles start appearing about the new venture that he became part owner ofBut thats the way it goes I guess,everyone has to line their pockets somehow. B)But on the flip side I guess it also showcases the mindblowing fishing we do have here,as weve always played second fiddle to the Eastern States.And by advertising it may bring people over to sample it and dollars into our state.As long as there is a balance everyone can find something in the mags that they find interesting.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is wrong and blatant advertising and should be noted in the story as well so that readers do know that there is a vested interest involved. Nothing wrong with plugging a good product but when it reality it is an advertorial then the reader should be made aware of that fact Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yes they did have ads in the mag,sometimes on the same page as the articles .But the articles themselves are ads to in a way.I wonder if a competitor put a similar writeup in would it be published?

vb4me 1 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I wonder if a competitor put a similar writeup in would it be published?Only if they paid the advertising fee. Generally there is a special deal with an advertorial where you pay so much and get good positioning for the ad as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I really appreciate all south australian fishing magazines. It awesome to pick up a magazine and see places i've fished or that I could easily travel to for a fishing trip. I used to buy other fishing magazines but they are FULL of interstate fishing spots/advertisements and most of all fish we don't see.I used to like southern fisheries when it was published as I'm interested in marine biology/aquaculture and it was quite a good read and contained some local fishing stuff too. I now buy SA angler and WILDCOAST religiously, I was stoked to find wild coast when it first came out as I hadn't heard anything about it and I think its a fantastic magazine.Its cool to pick up a magazine like WILDCOAST and see shops that you know you can visit, products that you know will be in stock, places you fish or would like to know more about, photos of fish people have caught it our waters and stories of south australians that have gone fishing and are sharing their experiences.Awesome mag, a pleasure to read, keep up the good workCheersTom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SandyWhiting 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I dont mind both maggs, although I lean toward SA Angler, I really enjoyed the write up Davenport creek, good memories from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest undertaker Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I just generally browse at all the mags at the newsagents,and if there is an article that catches my eye,I generally buy the mag.So,no real "loyal" purchases from me.4WD mags are different for me though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
