GREAT Reference book! 5
This is simply the best book for anyone who wants to discover the wonderful world of fishing from a kayak.

Well written, beautifully illustrated, crystal clear step-by-step instructions on how to choose, rig and fish from a kayak, loads of practical tips, it will entertain everyone from true beginners to advanced anglers. I thought in my 35+ years of fishing and reading countless book on fishing, I knew just about everything there was know. Instead, I found myself taking notes and getting excited at the prospect of applying some of the techniques I just learned. Nothing wrong with getting an edge over your fishing buddies!

Another great bonus in this book is the chapter outlining some of the best fishing spots. Follow the author's instructions and you'll catch more fish. It's as simple as that.

This is one of these books that I'll read again and again. All my nephews and nieces will get this book for Christmas. This book has so many nice pictures that it will draw them in and make them want to be part of it. Nothing more would be rewarding to me than to see them paddle around, catch fish and being outside instead of sitting in front of a computer.

More than just great pictures5
When I first received this book I thought it didn't contain much useful content because the book had a lot of pictures. However, after reading through the book a couple of times I can agree with the other reviewers that this book contains a lot of very useful information for someone looking to get into kayak fishing. One caveat though is that the author has affiliations with some of the product vendors that are given prominence in the book. Not a bad thing but something to be aware of if you are looking to purchase products based off of information in this book. If you are looking to buy a kayak the one consistent piece of advice I keep seeing is that you absolutely must test drive the kayak (ideally many kayaks) before you buy it. What might be the best kayak for one person could be the worst for someone else.

Great book!5
I have Kayak fished for a few years now and thought I knew most there was to know but I learned a few new things from reading the book. It's well written and very well illustrated and a must have for anyone interested in Kayak fishing.
