I know some of you were looking for this.. you have 2 hours

Or you could buy it for 11.95 from The Surfcaster

Book is still available in alot of locations. Great pic of my buddys 64 lber'.

Any copies of "Fishing the Bucktail" over in LI shops?

I can't believe what that book is selling for. Makes me happy to know I have a SIGNED copy of that. :happy:

Do you think Joeycasta knows he got robbed? At one point he was bidding against himself. I've got a Penn 710 greenie he can have for 2 grand. Maybe Joycasta is Doc's alias????

Steve,

Thats so funny. I was thinking the same thing. He got ripped!

i couldn't resist myself. i emailed the winning bidder this link... http://shop.thesurfcaster.com/cgi-bin/surfcast/BKWC3.html :laughs:

He is gonna be peeeeesed! :D

Now all I wonder is if the seller at Amazon is going to sell his/her copy for $105.

Thanks bluefishercat! :hee: :cool:

At the Freeport show in few days you will probably be able to get a sign copy from the man himself, for $5 or $6

I also have a signed copy of this book I bought in 1993. $86 bucks. It is a good book but $86 bucks. Always said fishermen will buy anything. I am ready to sell. P.M.

tlapinski,
Yeah, I guess e-bay is a partial mystery. Enlighten me.

And you can get a copy of his defunct magazine as well. Maybe a Tri-Fin lure too.

Both issues, too---both of which are numbered "Volume One" :laughs:

But, but, Toby, that $86 was for a first edition :wall:

I'm trying to get as many surf/fishing books as I can signed because if I hopefully have a son one day, I feel it would be a special gift to leave him a series of old (by then) signed books.

If it wasnt for the snow, I was going to bring my three remaining unsigned books for him(Muller) to sign at the Nassau show, but I never made it. Guess I will try Freeport.

Oh came on !
You know you will pimp those babies as soon as you get home

That was a darn good magazine.Its a shame it was only two volumes before it folded.............

LOL . Sure its tempting to sell 'em all. Then I can go out ond put a nice down payment on a 4wheel drive. Took out the 4cylinder front wheel drive Escape yesterday. It couldnt even get over a 6" pile of snow.:(

He gave me one of those magazines a few years ago. I have it around here somehwere. I think the cover was him with a huge bluefish.

when and where is the freeport show?

Freeport ME ?

Date?

The Freeport show is actually in Freeport, LI, NY.

I might be up for a drive....haven't got away in awhile Is it this weekend?

-IWK

Its from February 18-20th. Most of the fishing guys who attend one show will usually go to this one. I'll be there. :)

I've never heard of this book, do you guys reccomend it?

Bill Muller has written a few books:

Surf fishing for Stripers and Blues
Secrets of Surf Fishing at Night
Surf Fishing with the Experts
Fishing for Weakfish and Sea Trout

Did I miss any?

All were great books.

Al Bentsen's chapters on how to rig an eel (fully illustrated in step-by-step detail), and how to fish a rigged eel, are worth the price alone ;)

The picture of surf121's friend's 64 pounder should put to rest a certain someone's contention that a bottle plug couldn't catch a bass in a hatchery after the workers were on strike for a month :D :laughs:

I was happy to see that too (the bottle plug shot). I've heard that plug being talked down a lot but I've seen quite a few photos of guys that have caught BIG fish on them

Did I miss any?
Small boat fishing with the experts
Party boat fishing with the experts
Fishing for Flounder
Fishing for Winter Flounder
Fishing for Fluke

Who has this book and doesnt need it? :)

Surf fishing for Stripers and Blues

Surf fishing for Stripers and Blues
Those go for $80 to $100+ too! Who knew books where so expensive?!

Surf fishing for Stripers and Blues

Ive been "monitoring" that book for almost a year and the best price I could find was over $100. A copy popped up recently for less money and I grabbed it. :)

I picked that book up several years ago at a on line used book seller for a very reasonable price. (15-20 bucks ) It is like new and almost perfect. Keep an eye out for it, they pop up on ebay now and again too.

I found Bail Tail Fishing for $12 a couple weeks ago :)

What was the Author of the bucktailing book i thought it was muller.I saw it at a shop in conn. Rivers end.with a stack of other books he would only sell as a set.for 70 i offered him 35 for the one but he wouldn't do it.

Are you talking about John DeMaio?

What is the title i thought it was the art of bucktailing or the art of fishin buctails.or something like that.

Captain John DeMaio's "The Art of Bucktailing."

I just looked and I have an autographed copy of Surf Fishing for Stripers & Blues. I have a lot of these books but have not looked at them for years. Anyone interested in borrowing them send me a PM. I cannot belive these books are that expensive. P.M.

Many Large have been taken on Bottle plugs, especially yella ones.

My Freind Mark M's 64 was on a white bottle (full Moon). Worked with the fellow for five years and thought he only fished for trout.
Soft spoken humble guy and an excellent firefighter. He has what to brag about, but you would never hear it from him.
Good Luck,

Mark Malenofsky a good firefighter? Gonna rib him on this one:D Soft spoken? Man are you going to give me some good ammo.I must say, one of the most informed person I know when it comes to reading the water. Be it fresh water fly fishing or throwing plugs under the light at Montauk, they don't get any better. Please don't tell him I said this cause his head won't fit through the doorway.

WHy are Mullers books so valuable?? Ive noticed that just about all his titles go for $50-200:eek:

Doc Muller’s books are limited runs and out of publication… but most importantly, he is one of the leading NE fishing authorities and his books are a wealth of viable information. :)

Herro. :bshake:

Which ones are the best read??

All his surf books are very good. I can't comment on the boat fishing books because I didnt read them.:)

I think Secrets of Surf Fishing at Night is a must for anyone getting serious about surfcasting.Surf Fishing with Experts is an excellent "basic +" book.The author is a brilliant fisherman and a "student" of the game of fishing.You really cant go wrong with any of his books

Yes,
Secrets of night fishing is a good book worth all of $11.95, not a cent more for tribute.
I dare anyone telling him he is a "student". When blue fish smile.
