Fun With Vintage Fishing Magazines

Larry, thats a great thread. as a young surf want a be in the early 60's I subscribed to SWS mag. I saved everyone. When I restarted this obsession 6 yrs. ago I went to my parents house to see if any were still around. Unfortunatly they were gone. I remember 1 issue probably 63-64 with a cover picture of a large surf bass caught on a red/white jointed plug. I was in awe at the picture and went down the cellar an made a crude version of one w/broomstick and screweyes. Ah, early days of plug building. I still try to find that issue. They have archived covers 4/sale but that one wasn't available. Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for posting these...they are fantastic. I especially like the cover with the guy smoking his pipe after landing a cow. Really cool stuff.

Good stuff Larry. As a kid, I would read my Dad and grandfather's mags cover to cover. I wouldn't miss a single article or ad. Loved those mags.
