As I read Greg Goddards book, King Salmon: A Guide to Salmon Fishing in California, On a flight from San Francisco to Baja, California, I was so engrossed that I could hear the call of the murre sea birds as they fed on the anchovies 28,000 feet below me. -- Captain Perry Kerson, Charter Boat Sea Turtle
I just read the manuscript, it is excellent! This book is a fantastic resource for the California salmon fisherman. It is packed full of detailed information presented in a pleasant and entertaining fashion. -- Mike Watson, Bay Area Regional Fisherman

By White Bear (Napa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Salmon : A Guide To Salmon Fishing in California (Paperback)
I own most of the books in print on the subject of salmon fishing. This is the one to buy if you fish the California Coast for salmon. Very comprehensive.
4.0 out of 5 stars
catch salmon,
This review is from: King Salmon : A Guide To Salmon Fishing in California (Paperback)
Greg's book is a bit old, but still useful -- if the kings ever come back.
He covers NorCal well, especially the Bay area. Despite hard times for California salmon seekers, this is the book to own when the salmon come back. Wayne Heinz, author of, How to Catch Salmon, Sturgeon, Lingcod, Rockfish, and Halibut Along the Pacific Coast: Fish On!
