1.0 out of 5 stars
Better than no book, but in dire need of revision,
By morrissg@cosmos.ne.jp (Okinawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Saltwater Fish and Fishing (Paperback)
This book is a better guide to fish identification than to fishing methods. Still, identifying certain fish is a challenge due to mismatched descriptions and illustrations. Under the Mediterranean spearfish, you find the right description but a photo of a gar. Under Atlantic sailfish, you find a photo of a juvenile fish recognizable only to marine biologists. Or try identifying a wahoo from the dim and distant silhouette provided. Discussions and illustrations of tackle are also full of errors: a flying gaff is pictured without its quick-release handle, and outriggers are described as "often fitted but seldom used," whereas the photo on p. 58 shows outriggers in use but describes them as "rod-holders directed outward." Better than no book at all, but in dire need of revision.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Nice book for novice, bad for salted fishermen,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Saltwater Fish and Fishing (Paperback)
If you go to the bookstore and flip through the pages quickly, you will find a lot of illustrations and interesting fishing words. Once you buy and read it at home, you reallize this book is the 'feature' type not for you. At least not for me and all my fishing buddies.
