Customer Reviews

Good book for your tackle box
I bought this 64-page 6"x9" booklet mainly to keep in my tackle box. It has figures of basic knots. It talks about how and when to set up baits,lures and rigs under various conditions. It also gives techniques when fishing from jetties, banks, inshore, offshore, bridges, canals, etc. It's really handy if you are not having a particularly good fishing day and you want to move or change bait. I would have rated it a 4-star, except that it is a 1992 book, and the information on tackle and rigging is generically informative, but specifically just too old. The techniques info is just fine though. I'd recommend it only as a reference booklet.

excellent
as a beginner to surf fishing, this book was very helpful. It gave me insight into the specifics of knots, rigs and knowing when to fish. I immediately took some of my new knowledge to the beach and felt better prepared

Good reading
I haven't been saltwater fishing for 40 years, so this was a good refresher on some things, learned a lot of new things as well. Hope to get a chance to fish salt water this year
