3.0 out of 5 stars A bunch of notes from Florida, October 16, 2002

By	"robtf" (NJ USA) - See all my reviews

Mr. Luftglass has been fishing the NJ coastal waterways longer than I've been alive. Found within these pages are many tips that will help you catch fish on various NJ waterways.

However the book was that was written, essentially by his own admission, while Manny had nothing else to do spending a winter down in Florida. There is too much direct transcription from notebooks or from phone calls to tackle shops rather than current research on a particular area. "I tried calling all the shops in the area, but they were closed. So from my notes I see that ....". Some pages are nothing other than ramblings that would be better suited to a Friday column hyping up fisherman for the weekend party boat business.

If you are a collector of random bits of advice on fishing NJ estuaries, this book will in fact provide some information that you probably didn't have before. It will give you a jump start on searching out a new area, and a few ideas on fishing for specific species. Don't expect a comprehensive guide to any particular area. You'll have to get out and explore. Perhaps that's what the author had in mind anyway.
