A Handbook for Sucessful Angling,
By Michael Chang (Franklin Park, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Saltwater Fishing (Paperback)
This book is full of information that will help put you and your friends into some good fishing. The information ranges from fishing on rental boats in a small saltwater bay to offshore trips for big gamefish and even provides recipes for your catch from Milt's lifelong fishing companion and wife, June. One of the highlights of the book is the use of photography chronicling his tactics as a "jetty jock" in order to land the coveted lunker Striped Bass that cruise the Northeast coast every April to December from the Cheasapeake bay, Virginia to New England. There are even some photos revealing his commitment to teaching and imparting his fishing "know how" to his grandaughters on small skiffs. Rosko has been fishing for more than 60 years and he has culled the best of his knowledge gained over six decades into this 288 page handbook for successful angling! He covers all the coasts but is especially strong in his homegrown territory, the Northeast coast. It makes a great gift for someone who has a passion for fishing or a budding gift for fishing. I bought one for me and one for my newest fishing disciples.

This review is from: Complete Book of Saltwater Fishing (Paperback)
I have checked out at least 30 books from our city and county library systems on saltwater fishing from all over the country on inter-library loan. None were as good as this one! This is the only book that has the hooks, rigs, lures and knots associated with a particular type of fishing in their own section. This is extremely helpful compared to pages of unassociated graphics. The photographs (and there are plenty of them) are all in color and the paper is a high quality gloss matte. There are pencil graphics of techniques. The sections on cleaning and cooking your fish are outstanding with a few recipes thrown in. Each type of fish is identified with the bait to use, method of catch, where to catch them and what equiipment to use. Good water-resistant cover. Can't go wrong with this one.

Useless,
By Skunked "Skunked" (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Saltwater Fishing (Paperback)
This book was a primer for people that have had no exposure to Saltwater fishing. Having had some experience with saltwater fishing I found this book useless. There was no coverage on the proper tackle to be used and the techniques to deploy.
