Captivating History of Inshore and Offshore Fishing

This book is just amazing. Its more than four hundred pages and I tore threw it in two days. Especially good were the chapters concerning striped bass fishing in the Northeast. I also enjoyed the chapters that included an interview-style format where the reader can get a better feel for various fishing personalities. Get this book here or somewhere. If your bored this winter, this will keep you entertained.
