Help with mags:The Fisherman and TRUE

[colby sorrells]

I need a little help locating a couple of tournament casting articles.

First, THE FISHERMAN magazine 1957 or 1958. Not sure which issue

Second,
TRUE magazine 1954 or 1955.

Looking for tournament casting articles during these years for these two magazines. I could use a copy, scan or I'll buy the issue out right if that is what you prefer. If you happen to have the correct issue please let me know which issue includes these articles.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Found one. I found the issue of True magazine, April 1953. Got it.

Still looking for the issue of THE FISHERMAN magazine, 1957 or 1958, that includes an article on tournament casting. Anyone got a complete set of THE FISHERMAN for 1957 and 1958? Just need to know which issue but would really appreciate a scan or copy of the article. Thanks.

That’s great, Colby. I can’t wait to read the final product.

OK, got the last one. The Fisherman April 1957. Article author is shown as Dale Shaw but that may very well be a ghost name for Ted Trueblood because the article is very similar to the True article from 1953 and includes a photo of the exact same tackle box full of tournament casting items.

Anyone know of any other tournament casting articles or books between 1932 and 1972?

Keepin' It Fun!

Thanks Steve. The Major book is part of the reference group. Great book and wonderful chapter on surf casting tournaments. Colby

By coincidence I'm reading the Major book now! It is a great reference.
