5.0 out of 5 stars The Exception Proves the Rule, June 4, 2000

This review is from: Bonefishing (Hardcover)

I tend to side with Charley Waterman: the world does NOT seem to need yet another book about bonefish angling. However, this book is exceptional and is indeed accretive to the otherwise mostly redundant library. The photos alone are worth the price tag: It will get you through landlocked months away from the flats. Kaufmann is not a new comer trying to prove himself..he's a salty veteran who, like McGuane or Kreh, would be welcome on a flats outing in our boat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Coffee Table Book, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bonefishing (Hardcover)

Truly beautiful book with many terrific photos. It is worth owning just for the pictures. I did not read his earlier now out of print bonefishing book, but imagine most of the technique section is a repeat. After a while, all of these fishing books are the same. You can only describe fishing for bones to a certain level, then you just have to go do it! The travel section was extremely thorough, although one might assume it is a plug for Kaufmann travel.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I beg to differ!" Pete Carlson, March 9, 2007

Good grief, how good does a book on bonefishing have to be? Those who reviewed this book, either did not read it or do not recognize quality when they see it. No book in the realm of fishing equals this one for acuuracy of information, interesting anectdotes, bredth of coverage, and spectacular photography. I have fished one half dozen times for bones in Florida, Mexico and Belize and can eagerly confirm everything included in Kaufmann's book. I am no expert, but I can tell you it's the best book on the suject written. It does contain fly patterns, but I did not expect tying instuctions for the flies and the leaders. Those subjects are well covered in much more mundane books and video tapes.
