This book turned out to be no more than a glossy re-run of the magazine. It reads more like a travel mag showing off the points of its most recent advertizers. If you are an angler, look elsewhere for real fishing tips.

I love fishing and this book could not hold my attention for more than about 2 minutes.

They spent more time in choosing the title and hype than authoring the book. Such is the modern world where adding to your revenue is more important than writing about a passion to share with the masses.

If you have been out on a charter fishing trip or just watched fisherman on the pier and have asked yourself, "What in the heck are they doing?" this book is for you. This book answers the most basic questions on saltwater fishing tactics. After reading this book and understanding its content, you will cover about 80% of what you need to know. The other 20% is just plain experience. This is a GREAT book for your kids who just discovered that fishing bug. Not a bad Father's Day gift for the greenhorn either.

Alot of hype about this book, personnaly its alot of common sense, you would better of subscribing to the magazines and gathering information from there as opposed to getting it all doucmented in one book.

My advice check it out first before you purchase it.

This book has some really great how-to information which will help me improve my technigues and my catch. All of the big names in salt water fishing have a chapter, like George Poveromo, Lefty Kreh and even Mark Sosin. The information has already helped me. I say, "Go for it!"

I loved it. This is a great book for learning salt water fishing inside and out. The text is written to accomodate all levels of fishermen/women, and it is an interesting read. The how-to stuff is fantastic. It's filled with good pictures. It's an excellent gift for anyone who wants to learn more about the sport, but you'll want to read it before giving it away!
