Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Weiss is an outdoors writer of more than a dozen hunting and fishing books, including last year's counterpart, The Whitetail Deer Hunter's Almanac. Readers who like their prose packaged as numbered paragraphs of thematically organized facts and recommendations will appreciate this quick-read arrangement. There are useful tips and tactics on every page, but many segments were obviously culled from scientific press releases that only a biologist will care about. Since the 18 chapters aren't meant to be read in sequence, the same information often gets repeated two or more times; for example, the first two sections deal with the biology of largemouth and smallmouth bass, respectively, so several points, like how to tell them apart, get rehashed in both places. Other sections range from habitats to spawning behavior to the wide variety of modern tackle. Recommended for public libraries where bass fishing is popular. Will Hepfer, SUNY at Buffalo Libs.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative easy read!, January 23, 2005
This review is from: The Bass Angler's Almanac: More than 650 Tips and Tactics (Hardcover)
In my opinion, this is a very under-rated book. Weiss does a nice job of integrating biology, tactics, weather and technology in a concise informative format that is easy to read and digest. The three main black bass species are covered; Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spotted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book Loaded With Info, October 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book was an excellent read. it is loaded with tips for the beginner as well as advanced fisherman. the book discusses habits of bass on different bodies of water, which i found to be interesting and would be good for the fisherman who is used to fishing lakes and was going to fish rivers for the first time. weiss did a great job, as usual.
