1. The first magazine is Shallow Water Angler, the December/January 2005 issue. Especially check out page 46 with photos of various types of kayaks rigged for fishing. Also page 50 for a review of skinny water boats suitable for cartopping and fishing. There is also an interesting article on gear for landing fish, including a review of an accessory that more and more yakfishers are using for catch and release: lip grippers (p. 12).

2. The other recent pub is the December, 2004 issue of Canoe and Kayak magazine. This is their annual Buyer’s Guide issue that I found really helpful when I was trying to decide on which kayak to buy. It covers just about every kayak and canoe manufacturer out there, as well as paddles, PFDs, and some apparel, as well.
