Launch: Fish ‘n’ Tips

Fish ‘n’ Tips, a new monthly title from Blockhead Media, goes on sale on 17 March, cover priced £3.99.

According to distributors COMAG Specialist: “Guaranteed to make you smile, Fish ‘n’ Tips will engage, entertain, titillate and inform its readers like no other monthly fishing magazine ever has.

The average angler is simply not turned on by the existing monthly fishing titles, finding them too dry, too dull and too highly focused to attract the bulk of enthusiasts.

Combining Red Top angling-based humour, top quality features by some of the biggest names in coarse and sea fishing, comprehensive tackle news and venue reports, Fish ‘n’ Tips is aimed at the lucrative 18 – 45 male coarse and sea angler market, a sector to date not well served, despite the many specialist titles.

It is the diversity of the sport that fuels an angler’s interest, the fun and camaraderie that exists in fishing that brings enjoyment to anglers as well as the discovery of top tactics and locations for an array of species that drives their desire.

Fish ‘n’ Tips aims to cover all of this and more, becoming a must-buy for the target reader in the process, by engaging, entertaining and informing them every issue with distinct, well designed sections, covering a range of coarse and sea species, tactics and locations, some highly commercial, some off-the-wall and zany.

Features and images will be delivered by a team of top quality angling journalists, all of whom already write for some of the best known fishing magazines in the UK. 

The launch issue will have articles on the new spring carp fishing season, sites for urban fishing and the science of fish cloning. Regular features will include tackle tests and gear reviews, reader records as well as agony aunt, ‘Tackle Tart’ and a best pin-ups section called ‘Belle of the Bivvy’. The April issue will also feature the start of a fishing competition to win a new Ford Transit van.”
