Another keeper!!

If you like to fish Reds, Trouts and other species of the Western Gulf Coast this is a very good book. I personally enjoy reading and learning from this type of books where include many topics from anchoring, lure selection water types etc etc. Honestly I been looking for this book over a year but for long time ago is no longer in the stores I finally found it used. I contacted once Mr Bozka via e mail and he reply me telling me that is no availability at this moment in the stores, I strongly recomend to produce more copies of this valuable document since like me are more anglers looking for knowledge and for the future anglers. Besides Mr Larry Bozka I also recomend Pat Murray and Chester Moore Books I admire the 3 of them and consider as a valued Icon for generations of anglers to come.

Bozka's gem is "A True Fisherman's Friend"

The first time I met Larry he had a fisherman's sunburn and a contented smile on his face .... and that was in 1963 in Mrs. Holitzke's 2nd grade class in a small town south of Houston, TX! His dad had taken him and his brother fishing on the 'Lone Star' off the Galveston jetties and Larry was still flickin' the scales off himself. Well, all these years later, it's a joy to read his stories and live the saltwater adventures that he describes so vividly right before your eyes. And, though I have a biased opinion about the author, having lived some of the adventures myself, and having heard many stories about some of the others, I can tell you that there are few people along the Gulf Coast that can match the skills of Senor Bozka. He can fish. He can use the English Language to weave an interesting and well-composed tale. And he can shoot photos so clear and imaginative, they could fill a thousand art galleries. When you put all 3 of those together, and add the thousands of technical references gleaned from decades of experimentation and investigation and good ole 'field research', well, you get 'Saltwater Strategies'. A book packed with tecnical information and spirited anecdotes and wonderful illustrative photography. Whether you seek trophies for the wall or the frying pan, this book will help you get that what you seek. KEEPERS! And that's just what Larry Bozka's 'Saltwater Strategies' is ... a KEEPER.

Bozka makes angling simple for all levels of fishermen. Never plan on leaving for water without this book! Looking forward to future works. --KF

Bozka Shares Wealth of Experience

I want to thank Larry Bozka for putting the info in the "Saltwater Strategies" book together. I know this is old hat, but I recieved the book as a Christmas gift from my wife and really enjoyed the reading. I have been fishing the coast consistently for the past few years, and improving my techniques, yet I still coonsider myself a novice in the shadow of someone with so much experience. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Outstanding, all-encompassing piece of work!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Larry Bozka's book, Saltwater Strategies, as much for the entertaining style in which it was written as for the many things I learned from it. Mr. Bozka has a real talent for weaving instructive pointers into tales of real-life experiences. And he's a good photographer, to boot... as evidenced by more than a hundred photos, including two 8-page inserts of color photography. This book is a comprehensive one-source guide for all levels of saltwater anglers. Bozka shares his own experience as well as the experience of many saltwater professionals that he has interviewed over the years. I especially liked the chapters on Reading the Water and Lure selection and use. There's also a full chapter on tying more knots than you'll ever need... this chapter alone assures the book of permanent residence in my glove compartment! Saltwater Strategies is definitely a 5-star read for saltwater anglers.
