May/June was the last issue they put out in 2008. Several changes happened since. The editor left the book, the art director was gone also and the magazine was in limbo until I came on board.

Jan/Feb began mailing the first week of January and that process goes on for sometime, as any magazine publisher can tell you. Might take up to a month to get the book and that's out of the hands of the publisher and all that work on the book and is strictly in the hands of the postal service.

The Mar/Apr book is in production now and should begin mailing the final week of February. Folks wanting more information can always contact me and get real answers to sometimes hard but honest questions.

Thanks to all,

Bass West is the only magazine I can read front to back so hopefully this never changes. That's more important to me than getting a mag in my mailbox on time.

Pretty sure I already answered you in PM but here ya go in public; if you subscribed for a three year subscription you will receive 18 issues. The Jan/Feb issue is mailing, the pace its mailing is currently out of our control. The Mar/Apr issue is in production. The May/Jun issue is in editorial now.

The current staff of the magazine has only been around since late November '08. We'll keep working to get a timely book out, not much we can do to undo the past. Readers can decide if they want to give us a chance or not - it's their right to do so.

Thanks,

PM me your postal mailing address and I'll send you a copy of the Jan/Feb issue. When you get the subscription issue in the mail please let me know via PM so I can get an idea of how long it's taking to reach you.

Once you've got both copies, if you don't mind, I would ask that you take one of the copies and give it to a fishing buddy or perhaps a kid that fishes but doesn't get the book.

As soon as I have copies of Mar/Feb I'll do the same thing and mail you out a copy if you'll pass the second copy along to someone else.

This is a one time offer just to you. It's my way of thanking you for your patience.

Now that is good business ......
