This review is from: Fishing for Tuna and Marlin (Paperback)

I own several books on Deep Sea Fishing and rate this as one of the best. It is very informative and will prove to be a great help. It does not have too many flashy pictures so if that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. But if you want to improve your chances at Marlin and Tuna pick this book up.

As soon as you start reading it, you will realise that the author knows what he is talking about and has a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

Cuando hice la compra de este libro lo considere como un libro que me hiba a mostrar muchas imagenes de tuna y marlin, pero que no iba a ser educativo. Caso error, el libro es educativo...y debo considerar que todo pescador offshore debe tenerlo. Puntos importantes son los que se refieren a los tipos de señuelos artificiales y el armado del aparejo terminal.
Para aquellos que están interesados en hacerse de una embarcación o que deseen desarrollar una empresa de charter de pesca deportiva es un libro que te inicia en la valoración del bote adecuado y sus accesorios.
El libro muestra las estrategias y lo más importante el por qué de emplearlas. Ahora bien, la única carencia que observo es que no aplica el uso de anzuelos circulares...creo que ello se debe exclusivamente a una comportamiento cultural (los estadounidenses) y no con una visión de la conservación del recurso
