Hawai'i's Mike Sakamoto Presents 101 Fishing Tips is an amiable and expert advice book with heavy emphasis upon the practical. Written for anglers of all experience levels, this outstanding "how to" manual has instructions, suggestions, and ideas ranging from "just keep the fish on your line for the first minute of the strike, rather than fighting it", to "to keep your leader from tangling, tie a section of heavy line to the wire leader arm and splice on the 20- or 30-pound-test leader with either a surgeon's or a unisplice knot". A great deal of the tips are bait-specific for fishermen who are unsure of which bait to use or how to best apply it. Black-and-white photographs and sporting narration round out this excellent and highly recommended supplement to ocean fishing reference shelves.

My father gave this book to me a few years ago but some how I lost it. I recall it showing you how to properly tie knots and hook up your line with the sinker, hook, etc.

I received the book today and found that it does not show any of this. This book is more geared towards someone who already knows what they're doing.

I borrowed Fishing Hawaii Style by Jim Ruzzo from the library. The first edition shows you how to make the proper knots used in most fishing rigs.

I was sorely disappointed by Mike Sakamoto's book. Perhaps I get a new revision that took out all the good stuff. I would stay away.
