Mega Bites as RAM go into Overdrive!

The Sensational Launch Issue of Northern Angling Today

The North’s first-ever full colour, glossy angling magazine is just weeks away from hitting the shops on May 15th and the team at Regional Angling Magazines are pulling out all the stops to make it an issue to remember.

Primarily aimed at the club and pleasure angler from North Notts in the South to Newcastle in the North, the magazine will deliver quality features combined with in depth form guides on hundreds of fisheries throughout the region.

With an initial print run of 21,000 copies NAT will be available in all leading newsagents’ chains and independents as are its sister titles Midland Angler and Southern Angler.

“When you consider the popularity of the sport in the area it’s hard to believe that Yorkshire and the North East of England have never had a quality angling magazine of its own” said publisher Keith Higginbottom.

Northern Angling Today will be a quality product in every sense of the word but will also ensure that it delivers masses of grass-roots information which would never see the light of day in national magazines.

“We know that today’s coarse angler is only travelling 45-60 minutes maximum for his fishing these days and we are going to make sure he has a magazine that reflects that,” said Keith.
