4.0 out of 5 stars A modern fishing classic, July 28, 2006

This review is from: All about surf fishing: A complete guide to fishing the ocean's edges, including bridges, jetties, flats, creeks, and the high surf (Stoeger sportsman's library) (Paperback)

In a time when most fishing books and sport shows seem to cater only to the "boat crowd".This book is dedicated to those who pursue the denizens of the sea from the stability of dry land.
"Stability of dry land" is a little misleading, as anyone who has taken to the surf for fish will tell you,and this book certainly does.
It's primary focus is surf fishing,but the lessons and logic easily apply to other land born assaults on sea life.
All about surf fishing is also is a very fun read.The chapters offer important information while at the same time telling of various exciting, and always entertaining, real life experiences.
Not a bunch of "we went there and did this" but rather,"Heres what to do,and heres what happened when I didnt".
As weird as it sounds,this book is really a page turner.I found myself making mental notes and looking foreword to the next chapter.
When all is said and done, this book is excellent for anyone fishing from dryland.In looking at this book and its style of writing, one gets the feeling that this is a true, modern classic of sport fishing.
