4.0 out of 5 stars
Good--but similar to prior book
Good book to have if you've not read Striper Surf, also by Frank D. Material covered is very similar. I would highly recommend Striper Surf--that is the "Bible" of striped bass fishing>

Trophy Stripers some of the time
This otherwise well written book seems to spend too much time with information incidental to fishing itself. It also is almost totally devoted to Surfcasting and Fly Fishing, which is fine if that is what you are into. I expected it to cover boat fishing as well- it didn't and made the book far less useful for my purposes. It certainly did not break any new ground...

Tantilizing Title, but not a Trophy Book,

This review is from: The Trophy Striper (Paperback)
The book provides a good overview for someone beginning the sport. It offers limited insight for anyone who has experience. I was expecting more.

Here's why the book is terrible.
It states in the title, it's a book of techniques for catching striped bass. This is false. It's a book of anecdotes about his time surf casting. If that's your bag, then this is for you. Mostly, the stories are boring. I must have read about him driving around the dunes about a hundred times. The book kicks it off with a 30 page spiel about bass management and is a rant about that practice. It's immediately obvious the author is on an agenda. The book continues with a bunch of anecdotes about catching a big fish. Though, it doesn't say his setup. He doesn't say what knots to use, what leader, what type of reel. Nothing. There is 1 sidebar about pro's cons of different lures. The book continues with more stories. About him or his friends. The book ends with a whole entire chapter of the importance of getting lucky. Gee, thanks. It's so hard to read this book. It's such an ego ride you wanna just barf all over yourself. Believe me, as a lifer New Englander, this book is a waste of money and time. You will learn more hitting up some internet forums. Don't believe me? Fine, buy this trash and learn the hard way. |
