The Complete Fishing Manual: Tackle, Baits and Lures, Species, Techniques, Where to Fish Hardcover – May 2, 2011

The first sentence in the forward is “Never in a million years will I be able to fully explain why fishing has capture me so totally.” That’s two of us. I like this book already. Keep in mind he stated that after writing a book about fishing.When I was 5, I was so fascinated with fishing I started staying on the dock as long as I was allowed to (at a place called Shortie’s in Michigan). The first time I skipped school (last day, sixth grade), guess where I went. After about an hour of fishing, my Mom appears and says “Big surprise. How did I know you’d be here?”When I was 10 (1970) I purchased an open-face reel for $100 at Dunham’s with money I earned from a paper route. The sales person asked for my home phone number and called my parents because he didn’t believe it was on the up-and-up: “What kind of 10 year old spends $100 on a fishing real?”So believe me what I say that basically, if you appreciate fishing you’ll appreciate this book. I was having so much fun when fishing, I had no idea about most of the information in this book. All I need is a stick, string and a hook. I’m good to go. Now that I’ve got this book, I’ve got important things to do/learn.I’m like a kid in a candy store discovering one cool thing after another when reading this book. It’s like staring with pan fishing and then trying fly fishing, it’s a whole new world. The Complete Fishing Manual does a great job as your guide to discovering different types and essential skills. Informative and fun, all the way from occasional dabblers to seasoned professionals, there’s something for every level of experience in this book.
