I paid for a life membership twenty some years ago .. I've been a member since 02/89 ... Paid annually for the first couple years .. then purchased the Life Membersip ... Everything was fine until some fifteen years ago when the magazine subscription (included in the life membership) stopped arriving !
Been trying to contact them to no avail .. I think they should reimburse my Membersip Fee or send me 15 years of back issues of the magazine

I paid for a life time North American fishing club membership 25 years ago and I haven’t heard from them in years! What’s up with that?

Looks like i also joined this "Loser Life Time Membership" as well back in 2/1999 .
The only good thing i got from this Lifetime Membership was a rod and reel with my name on the rod. Expensive personal fishing rod!
Live and learn - just happened to clean out an old wallet and found my Life Member Card...

I was also a life member starting in 1989, for the first bunch of years things were great. Got a couple of free gear-give-aways, nice Shimano Fishing Rod, did some field testing and enjoyed the magazines. but all that stopped about 10 or 12 years ago. I feel for the more recent people who have been taken by this new Scout group. what is most concerning is that it appears to be some how involved with CBS sports and that they are allowing it to go on. The web site is a bunch of junk like shooting pumpkins with shot gun. But hey for $36/year you can get the really good crap from them.

I purchased my life membership 01/03 and received about 9 or 10 copies of the north american fisherman, and then everything stopped dead. I would like to know what happened. A lifetime member with no, I repeat no benefits. Life Member #[protected].

I'm in the same boat I was a long tine member of North American Fishing Club, and became a Life Member and paid my membership in monthly payments and at that time I think it cost $ 400.00+ . it wasn't until this morning I tried to login and found these complaints. I feel bad for what ever happen to the company, but I feel as Life Members of this amazing magazine should be compensated for the fee of the membership in which we paid for.

Thank You,
Gregory L. Pea

Same here been a life member since 1998, Haven't had any contact with NAFC in a very long time. Yes I agree we should all be refunded. But if the club went bust, there is nothing refund. I am sticking with BASSMATERS, I get my mags every month.

I came here because I was also wondering what happened to NAFC after using the personalized rod & reel in summer. I found this video which sheds some light on the subject. https://youtu.be/6vngAlAFWis
