Masson Hits the Mark

I have read Louisiana Sportsman magazine for years and have enjoyed Todd Masson's stories. He is truly an excellent oudoors writer and concetrates on the issues that Louisiana sportsman need to hear as well as the fundamentals to maximize each and every outdoor adventure in this state.Specks is an incredible look into patterns of the speckled trout, one of the finest fish to catch and serve on the dinner table. The book is put together very well including the scientific facts about this fish and the seasonal secrets to catch these fish throughout the state's top ten trout regions. The pictures are of good quality and excellent for seeing what the state has to offer as well as the rigs for catching specks. The maps are of good enough quality to get a general idea of where the action is throughout the year, but shouldn't be substituted for high quality topographic maps and charts. Masson also includes directions to each of the best fishing spots, where to launch your boat and local establishments that can serve the day and weekend angler if they need supplies, refreshments or a quick meal.Being from south Louisiana and a fisherman that loves catching specks as much as Masson, I have to say that this is an inspiring book that belongs in the tackle box or next to the maps and sea charts. You will maximize your chances of catching quality fish using this handy guide. An excellent read.
