Brad, I too am glad to hear that someone has finally got a steady hand on the controls at Crappie World. I have a question, after renewing a few times in search of that illusive Garcia reel , I've lost track of just when my paid subscription will end. If it states on the address label "Winter 15" I assume that means my subscription is good till the Winter issue of 2015. Is that correct?

Brad, I never subscribed to your mag before but, from what I see, I will now. I support anyone that puts up his own money and then the hours required to get a new company off the ground. Been there, done that and have the scars to prove it!
Guess I'll have to take up your generous offer on the lifetime membership but, keep the Bassin mag, I don't mess with trash fish!
I hope you are successful beyond your wildest dreams, then retire to CCL and come fishin with us poor folk!
Okie Bob

And, welcome to the Forum.

Welcome and thanks for coming forward and setting the facts on the table. It say's alot about you and your vision. I wish you lots of luck, and I know that the TFF family will be behind you. If I could make one suggestion. Since the lifetime membership has been confirmed, you may consider extending the deadline a bit. I am going to send mine in pronto.

Best of Luck

Brad, are you going to have an online version of the magazine? That would be great and would save you on printing charges if you decided to go fully online.

thanks for being a stand up guy good luck
i just paid for a year

Brad, I have subscribed to the magazine for several years and I must tell you that I had gotten pretty discouraged with the quality and dependability. Good luck and I hope you can get it turned around.

thx for all that u r doing to make the magazine better! i too look forward to being a lifetime member!

I also subscribed to Crappie World for several years and like many others I never knew when I would get the next issue so I just lost interest.
My biggest problem with the old magazine was that it seemed to be printed only for the "Yankee" fishermen and hardly anything at all for those of us who live down south.

I bought what I think was a three year subscription last year. So far I have received two issues. Guess I'm one of the 'lost subscribers'.

I have thought about this many times since my earlier post and came to this conclusion.
1. Will I renew for another year with the new promise-Yes. 1 year @ a time.
2. Will I invest in a lifetime membership-Heck NO.Not at this time. Once I receive "all" of the 1st year subscriptions then I might think about a longer subscription. Got to make good on a promise.
3. This publication has a history of bad publicity. Hope you can turn it around Brad.
4. My

Received my newest Bassin issue good improvements the best, center page survey How can I make this Mag. better,I'm impressed to say the least only a truly committed publisher would even consider this.Brad looking forward to all the new and great work you have planed.

Brad, you convinced me to give it another shot. All I would have said after reading your post has been said by others. I just subscribed on line, but just for a year to see if CW can improve its track record. Couldn't figure out how to get the "Free Tip" though. Good luck on your goals.
