5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best fishing books I've ever read., January 9, 1998

Let me tell you folks, I've read a lot of fishing books in my time, and I've been fishing all my life. Mike Gardner and the Galt publishing group have hit a home run with this one. It's so full of valuable information on technique, tackle, lures, and where to find trophy fish in bays and estuaries. Mr. Gardner explains in detail all of the above in an easy to read, off the cuff style. It's simply a great book. What's also great is that all of the contact info. on the tackle companies mentioned in the book, and even Mr. Gardner himself is in the back of the book. Don't hesitate to give Mike a call, and set up a guide trip with him...He'll demonstrate all the techniques in the book, and will definitely get you into some fish....

4.0 out of 5 stars How to do the bay right, February 24, 2000

This review is from: Mike Gardner's Fish Have No Hands: Catching Tons of Fish in Bays and Estuaries (Paperback)

Mike's book is very thorough--perfect for novices with little prior knowledge. Good for more accomplished anglers, too. I've fished Newport bay a lot and found numerous tips and pieces of advice to help me be even more productive there. Even after several readings, I continued to find new bits of important info about targeting bay bass. There are still a few questions I have but I'm sure I'll get those answered in person at Fred Hall or if I book a trip with him. I did find a few sections a little long on subjects that I feel didn't need that much attention. Overall, a very comprehesive, easy read.

For Southern California Bay fishing, the book is a wealth of information. I found his instruction easy to follow. Even better is to buy his DVD so you can see and read in detail his instructions. One major problem is that the book is dated so his opinions on fishing gear, line, bait, etc. are all out of date, but the concept he provides works even better with our newer tackle. I recommend the book and the DVD.
