Well done, full coverage book on ice fishing. If you thought ice fishing was slow paced, and a book about ice fishing even slower... your wrong. The writter's love of the sport show through in this excellent book. From safety and cold weather clothing to hooks, lines and sinkers, this is THE book for beginners. The author covers the spiritual side of fishing and the outdoors, then goes into the nuts and bolts. After reading it, I only hoped winter lasted longer. Well done.

2.0 out of 5 stars Corporate image shone through, but informative, November 27, 2002

This review is from: Hooked on Ice Fishing: Secrets to Catching Winter Fish-Beginner to Expert (Paperback)

The author was fairly comprehensive in this book, covering everything that beginning and intermediate-level ice anglers NEED to know for safety, comfort and fishing success. However, after reading half the book I had to put it down due to the overwhelming support the author gives to his obvious sponsor, HT Enterprises. HT does make good equipment, but this book is blatently biased toward their products and the reader is literally pummelled with free advertising for their products. I almost liken this to some TV fishing shows that are obviously paid advertisements cloaked in the veil of good ol' boy entertainment. Consequently, after forcing myself to read the rest of this book, this angler had a bad taste left in his mouth and is wishing he had purchased a different title.

This book had tons of great tips ranging from the "getting started" basics, to the advanced discussions of thermoclines, etc. Is also a nice book to read on those warm summer days, to hope and dream for a good cold winter !!
