Book Description

January 1, 2009
Whether you fish for stripers with a fly, plug, or bait, this comprehensive resource for catching trophy fish in shallow water will become an indispensable guide.

Captain Jim White shares his wisdom from over forty years of chasing and fishing for striped bass with the best in the business, including Shaw Grigsby, Lefty Kreh, Dan Blanton, Nick Curcione, and Bob Popovics. This book includes chapters on rigging and presentation, the best lures and flies, fishing the flates and estuaries, finding and targeting large fish, and boat electronics written by a master angler who has, so far in his career, helped anglers "land 1 fish of 60 pounds; 14 fish between 50 and 58 pounds; 216 fish between 40 and 49 pounds; and 336 fish between 30 and 39 pounds." If you are looking to catch a fish of a lifetime-whether you target stripers in the Northeast or on the West Coast, or fish stillwaters across the country for hybrids--this book is essential reading.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Reading Jim White's manuscript for Monster Shallow-Water Stripers was enjoyable and educational. White has an unconventional way of fishing, pulling trophy fish from places other anglers pass by. His descriptions of unusual rigs were fascinating....


The photos and illustrations, and the single-sentence tips sprinkled through the book, add new dimensions to the already terrific book. The illustrations are especially helpful in the chapters on rigging soft-plastic lures and live baits.



White's rigs for snagging menhaden and catching squid will produce twice the catch in half the time. Neither of the rigs is new--hot shots have been using them for a long time but White s book is the first to illustrate them....


Because his previous book focused on soft-plastic baits, many fishermen assume that they are White's favorite lures. Perhaps, but the man fishes whatever, wherever and whenever it takes to catch stripers, including flies. His chapter on fly fishing is excellent.



A lot of Rhode Islanders regard White as a Bay boat fisherman, but he has also earned his chops as a surf caster and a flats wader, and the book has pictures to prove it along with solid advice on how to fish the suds and the flats.

As Lefty Kreh says in a cover blurb, "Capt. Jim White really knows his stuff. Read, study and absorb the information in this book and you will catch bigger bass." --Tom Meade, Providence Journal, February 7, 2009

This review is from: Monster Shallow-Water Stripers: How to Catch the Largest Bass of Your Life (Perfect Paperback)
First off...listed as a hardcover, well, the paper cover probably takes a picture better than a real hard cover.

OK

Fish the seams

Fish at night on structure

Tides and Moon phase

Now you've got 90% of the contents.

Ordered it to combat winter cabin fever...looks like the book's introduction was aimed right at me.
