I loved it. This is a great book for learning salt water fishing inside and out. The text is written to accomodate all levels of fishermen/women, and it is an interesting read. The how-to stuff is fantastic. It's filled with good pictures. It's an excellent gift for anyone who wants to learn more about the sport, but you'll want to read it before giving it away!

This book has some really great how-to information which will help me improve my technigues and my catch. All of the big names in salt water fishing have a chapter, like George Poveromo, Lefty Kreh and even Mark Sosin. The information has already helped me. I say, "Go for it!"

Overall, this is a pretty good book. It covers a lot of basic as well as more advanced techniques. The information is up to date, well written, with good photos and illustrations. The only thing that can be improved is more detail on more species. The book covers about 20 specific species and everyone will find something of value. Included are inshore, surf, pier, jetties, blue water, bottom, and shallow water species. Unfortunately, each species is limited to about 3-4 pages of information. A bigger book with more information on each species would make this a great book!

Alot of hype about this book, personnaly its alot of common sense, you would better of subscribing to the magazines and gathering information from there as opposed to getting it all doucmented in one book.

My advice check it out first before you purchase it.

If you have been out on a charter fishing trip or just watched fisherman on the pier and have asked yourself, "What in the heck are they doing?" this book is for you. This book answers the most basic questions on saltwater fishing tactics. After reading this book and understanding its content, you will cover about 80% of what you need to know. The other 20% is just plain experience. This is a GREAT book for your kids who just discovered that fishing bug. Not a bad Father's Day gift for the greenhorn either.

This book turned out to be no more than a glossy re-run of the magazine. It reads more like a travel mag showing off the points of its most recent advertizers. If you are an angler, look elsewhere for real fishing tips.

This is a photo journal of the many types of deep sea fishing. It covers everthing from North East stripers to Alaska Halibut with excellent photographs and a literal "sea" of information for the entry level fisherman. This book is easy to read, fun to look at pictures and would be ideal for someone trying to get a young person interested in deep sea fishing. Believe me, you will not be dissapointed with this book. I have fished from Florida to Mexico and the tips and tricks are accurate and beyond.

If you are just starting out it is very good. If you are a lifetime, highly skilled fisherman, then this won't help. My husband and his friends chase game fish all over the world and break world records, so they weren't thrilled by this book. I, on the other hand, liked the book because I am just learning.

I love fishing and this book could not hold my attention for more than about 2 minutes.

They spent more time in choosing the title and hype than authoring the book. Such is the modern world where adding to your revenue is more important than writing about a passion to share with the masses.

An excellent get started book. A must read, good pictures and illustrations.
