1.0 out of 5 stars The book is way too general, it offers no real fishing help, October 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Florida Fishing: Florida's Complete Saltwater Fishing Guide (Paperback)

This book is far too general for any fisherman who knows what he is doing.It discusses the different saltwater fish of florida, but tells very little about how to catch them. It contains fishing facts,laws,regulations,pictures,and baits of choice, but gives very little or no info on specifics on different fish such as what hook size, line#, techniques, or other essential pieces of information found in most other fishing books.This book was very unhelpful to me, and would only be useful to a first-time angler.

There are so many opportunities for fishing in Florida, and so many different types of fish, bait, tackle, and techniques (not to mention laws) that it can be overwhelming for both the novice and experienced fisherperson. "Florida Fishing: Florida's Complete Saltwater Fishing Guide" gives the information necessary to have a wonderful experience even the first time out. It provides comprehensive information on fish species, their value (good to eat or throw 'em back", as well as how to find the fish in the first place and what to do when you finally do! Answers to questions that always crop up (like is it legal to fish this species this time of year, when do I need a license, how do I filet this thing anyway and then how do I cook it?) are covered clearly and in a logical format. The book itself is handy to carry in the tackle box in order to identify your catch, and its easy reading style makes it ideal for fishing enthusiasts of all ages. This book is a MUST for the Florida fishing enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Florida Fishing" is a work of art!, July 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Florida Fishing: Florida's Complete Saltwater Fishing Guide (Paperback)

If one were to distill the essence of Florida West Coast fishing in a well written, well organized collection of information, photos and diagrams, the results would be Allen Applegarth's "Florida Fishing."

Fun and easy to read, Applegarth's book can greatly assist any angler -- from novice to expert -- in their pursuit of the many fascinating Florida Suncoast species.

Allen Applegarth's "Florida Fishing," is a book that I will always enthusiastically recommended.
