5.0 out of 5 stars Fine advice and information from one of Florida's best!, December 17, 2009

By	Captain Richard Bradley "Lagooner" (Cocoa Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Secrets from Florida's Master Anglers (Wild Florida) (Paperback)

I've known Captain Ron for several years and fished many of the same waters for years. Ron IS a fine gentleman and angler in all regards, I've not yet read his book, but am planning to rush out shortly after the holidays and pick this book up as a treasure for me to have for sentimental reasons as Ron is a great friend and mentor, but also simply for the information that I can glean for myself and my business. If you're fishing in Florida and looking for fishing tips and techniques, I'm sure Captain Ron's book will reward you with treasures of fishing secrets many of his fishing guide friends hold.

Ron, I'm just hoping that you've kept a few of our secrets for our exclusive use and wish you the best and most sincere success with your new book "Secrets from Florida's Master Anglers". You're a great guide and a true gentleman. See you on the water again soon I'm sure.
