    That’s too bad. I just bought my first Walleye In-Sider and was waiting for the next one to hit the shelves. Guess I don’t have to wait anymore.

    Maybe you should subscribe to White-Bass Insider. You could be their leading article contributor.

    This is really disappointing to me. I looked forward to each issue coming in the mail and learned a lot when I first started walleye fishing by reading their magazine. I wonder if everyone will get reimbursed? I am fairly certain I still have a couple years left on my subscription!

    That stinks. I have had a subscription forever. It is my favorite fishing magazine since it targets what I fish for most and can’t wait for it to arrive. I will miss it. Is there a carp monthly?

    Quite honestly guys…look into the FLW Outdoors Magazine! More and more of the articles are written by the “Old” Linder crew. The articles are fantastic and timely. I used to think there was nothing in a magazine that I could read that could improve my fishing. This magazine has proved me wrong. You can go to their website and sign up to become a member, and that qualifies you to fish tournaments and receive the magazine monthly. For my money, it is well worth it!

    I believe if you liked the Walleye Insider, you will love the FLW Mags. You can also get it in….dare I say it…a BASS edition as well.

    I’m not surprised. When the Lindners sold it to Primedia, it began its downhill trend. Primedia was a trade journal publisher at least. Then they sold it to Intermedia which is a bottom line publisher–if it doesn’t make money, it doesn’t get published. I watched my subscription get thinner on good, informative articles and thinner physically. I quit buying it. Then they dropped the PWT. There was no more passion for the sport or the news about the sport. I picked up the Walleye Edition of the FLW and it was ho-hum–Glossy, but ho-hum. I find that I get my best info from Mid West Outdoors and my North American Fisherman.

    Jimmy, Jami Ritter and I are fishing the Full Throttle events this year. We liked that schedule and locations a bit better.

    IN-FISHERMAN DISCONTINUES WALLEYE IN-SIDER MAGAZINE

    Baxter, MN, May 5, 2009—In-Fisherman, a division of InterMedia Outdoors, Inc., announced today that it would cease publishing Walleye In-Sider magazine after the May-June 2009 issue.

    “Economic challenges aside, our commitment to the walleye market hasn’t wavered,” said Jeff Paro, President and CEO of InterMedia Outdoors. “We will continue to produce and distribute the world’s finest walleye content through our extensive print, television, and online media platforms.”

    Walleye In-Sider, published six times per year to an audience of over 60,000 avid walleye anglers, was the first and last word in walleye fishing. Since 1989, it chronicled the sport’s fast-breaking news and innovations in tackle and techniques.

    Steve Hoffman, Vice President and Group Publisher of InterMedia Outdoors fishing titles said, “Walleyes are part of the foundation of In-Fisherman, and that’s not going to change. We will continue to teach readers and viewers how to catch more and bigger walleyes—and help our advertisers sell more product.”

    In-Fisherman will continue to publish the highly successful Walleye Guide, which has detailed the ongoing development of walleye fishing tactics for 25 years. More than 100,000 copies are distributed each year to major newsstands across the United States and Canada, making it the world’s largest walleye publication.

    InterMedia Outdoors also will continue to cover cutting-edge walleye techniques online at the newly redesigned In-Fisherman Web site (http://in-fisherman.com) as well as tournament and industry news at WalleyeFan (http://walleyefan.com). Hardcore walleye anglers also will continue to find an in-depth walleye feature in every issue of In-Fisherman magazine, and frequent walleye segments on In-Fisherman and Critical Concepts television series.

    I get both the Walleye Insider and the FLW Walleye Magazine. I prefer the FLW magazine. The Walleye Insider has become a 80 page advertisement with recycled articles.

    I miss the old Insider that was bursting with info, but that’s been 5 or 6 years now. Oh well, I guess I only have to pay one subscription now.
