Buyer's feedback: - * Sweet, funny, informative ...
The author *loves* fishing. The book is as much a love song as a textbook, and I enjoyed it all the more for that. Great insights, side-splitting passages (like the description of the avid angler's "Heightened Awareness" at the tackle shop), and solid information. I haven't had this much fun reading *anything* in quite a while.

Buyer's feedback: - a Must Have
I liked this book, it was a good read. It was fairly short (for a book) and to the point. Get a different book to tell you what all the different lure types are, how to tie knots, and what equipment to buy, then read this book to find out how to go about using all that stuff and maybe even why you'd want to.

Buyer's feedback: - * Get into the fish's head! ...
This book was an excellent insight into how fish think. It was fairly introductory, and there was probably a lot that a seasoned fisherman would already know, but I found it enjoyable. It seemed to have a lot of info about protecting the sport, and had somewhat of an "us versus them" feel when talking about people who were against fishing. A fun, quick read for anybody who wants to know a little bit more about fish and their habits, some strategies for catching them, or if you just want to get away into your own head when the weather isn't cooperating for you to get out on the water.

Buyer's feedback: - Great book
I have been fishing all my life and was to surprised to actually find a few helpful hints in this book. The personal stories are entertaining and I could relate to some, especially early childhood memories of fishing with my dad.

Buyer's feedback: - * Essential Stuff to Get You Going ...
Before I bought this book, I've been fishing about 8-10 times. I really don't care for fishing because I'm so bad at it. But this year I decided to give it a try again but this time I wanted to research the sport instead of going out there like clueless. To get me started, I bought two fishing books: this one and another rather thick book.

What I like about this book is that it gives you the most important info you need to make you a decent fisherman. For now, I don't want a book that gives me a PhD in fishing. I just want to have a decent clue when going out, and that's exactly what this book did for me. It's not at the Dummy level nor is it at the pro-fisherman level either... right in the middle where I wanted things. Meanwhile, my other thick book sits there collecting dust. Maybe I'll get to that other book sometime, but for now this book has given me enough to try out for several outings.
