Editorial Reviews

Review

Cat Call: Catfish are among the most popular game fish in North America, and any whiskerfish aficionado's summer reading list should include "Catfishing: Beyond the Basics." Keith "Catfish" Sutton has pursued catfish throughout North America, Mexico and the Amazon, and "Beyond the Basics" is written for the advanced catfish angler who wants to improve upon his success. Subjects include fishing techniques for channel cats, blues, flatheads and bullheads; beyond-the-basics baits; catching monsters; alternative tactics; and catfish conservation. -- Lone Star Outdoor News, June 10, 2005

In his new book, "Catfishing: Beyond the Basics," author Keith "Catfish" Sutton shows why he's known as a god of catfish fishing in the East and Midwest. The book is a well-detailed, informative and easy-to-comprehend guide for serious catfish anglers. The 157-page guide is geared toward anglers living east of the Rockies but can be a valuable tool for catfish anglers in Southern California looking to learn techniques that are foreign to the region - but could be highly effective if practiced in Southern California waters. Sutton's colorful guide utilizes fun reading to detail methods to catch trophy cats in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, rivers and mountain streams. This book is designed for the hardcore catfish angler, rather than a weekend warrior. It reveals effective techniques that would seem unorthodox to the West's top catfish anglers, including the controversial art of "snagging" and the technique known as "noodling," in which anglers stick their hands in dark holes and try to grab catfish. There are few catfish-specific guides on the market that are as extensive as this one, which is a must for any catfish fanatic looking to learn new tricks, catch more fish and become more informed on how anglers across the United States are employing techniques to land trophy fish. Sutton's guide is a welcome sight for any angler who doesn't mind getting muddy or dirty or sticking their fingers into smelly baits. -- Chris Shaffer, The Daily News (Woodland Hills, CA), January 13, 2005

Make no mistake about it, the number of new people showing an interest in catfishing is growing. Now comes along one of North America's most renowned catfishermen to reveal his secrets to being a consistently successful cat angler in his latest book, Catfishing: Beyond the Basics. This new 160-page hardcover book, provides readers with a step-by-step guide to advanced techniques and secrets of catfishing, detailed information on the latest tackle and equipment, and insight into catching some of America's "cats." The book is the ultimate handbook for both novice and veteran catfishermen. -- Palos Citizen (Palos Heights, IL), November 4, 2004

Not only is Sutton a certifiable catfish catching machine, he's also the finest outdoor writer in the country today, and his books do the two things that all outdoor books worth their retail price try to do, but too often fail at: educate and inspire.

His latest effort, "Catfishing: Beyond the Basics," is a perfect example. Not only will it fire you up about getting on the water and catching some catfish, but it actually gives you the know-how to do it. Few books on any subject deliver so completely on both those fronts. Make no mistake, though. This book wasn't written for new anglers or those with little catfishing experience. If you want that kind of coverage, you want Sutton's first catfishing book.

As Sutton puts it, "Catfishing: Beyond the Basics" is the first catfishing book "written with advanced anglers in mind. Readers aren't bogged down with info like how to distinguish a channel cat from a blue cat, or how to tie simple rigs. I've assumed they know such things already and filled the book with info they may not have had access to until now, including innovative ideas from today's experts, and tried-and-proven techniques that work as well today as they did 100 years ago."

The result is an easy read that will take your catfishing to the next level. -- Ken Duke, GainesvilleTimes.com, September 24, 2004

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Catfishing (Beyond the Basics) (Hardcover)
Do NOT buy both of the books I have listed below here! They are so close to the same books with the same information, it isn't even funny.

I don't know how to rate this book, so I put 3 stars, because I'm sure not happy to be paying 'double the price' for the same book. The book is FINE, with good information, but you only need one of them!
