Striped bass - in fresh and salt water - are one of the world's greatest gamefish, and The Complete Book of Striped Bass Fishing is the fullest, most authoritative, most helpful book ever written on the species. Nick Karas, one of the world's great experts on the striped bass, offers proven techniques for more successful fishing. He details fishing from the surf; from boats; from bank, pier, jetty, and bridge - with all kinds of tackle and methods. And he takes an especially careful look at the growing popularity of fly rodding for stripers, fishing at night, and even how to catch striped bass in fresh water. An entire section of the book is devoted to tackle - where he takes a thorough look at the best rods, reels, lines, hooks, live and natural baits, artificial lures, accessory equipment of all kinds, bass boats, and the most innovative and practical beach vehicles. The Complete Book of Striped Bass Fishing offers a comprehensive look at every aspect of the striped bass, making it a book that no one who fishes for this great gamefish will want to be without, and the essential book for all striped-bass enthusiasts.

This review is from: The Complete Book of Striped Bass Fishing (Paperback)

For those fishermen who think you know everything you need to know to catch the lunker we all dream about, you're wrong.

This book delivers useful, real, and interesting information for the beginner to the so called expert.

Karas makes you think about your technique and offers suggestions to improve your fishing and to make it more enjoyable.

If you are serious about your Stripers, buy this book. You will not be disappointed.

This review is from: The Complete Book of Striped Bass Fishing (Paperback)

Very seldom will you find "how to" books with this much REAL information. The kind of info that even casual fishermen will find not only do-able but successful. I highly recommend it for the beginner and experienced Striper-getter. MC

Not a bad book and for anyone who's new to fishing and new to stripers as it's a good book. Little to much content regarding boats and other items that I just really didn't need info on being an average experienced fisherman. Chapters about the actual striped bass are very helpful in understanding the fish and trying to target it for fishing.
