Hi - I'm new to the site - I authored a book called "striperman". It has been getting great reviews & is in several New England tackle stores & on Amazon. Striper fishing was my lifelong passion.

Plug on the first post..

The best book on striped bass fishing was written by Frank Woolner and Hal lyman.. everything else since has paled in comparison...and if Flaptail was here.. he's agree.

Sorry didn't know protocol first time on web. I'm kind of a get it done guy.

Reading the Water is my favorite. Nothing comes close IMO.

A really cool book is one called just "Striped Bass by Ollie Rodman published just after the war. That is my favorite, but I agree that Reading the Water is right up there. The man aside, Daignault's first book on the cape is a great read. Of recent books I enjoyed Skinner's Season on the Edge.

So, striperman, howabout some more info on your book. Is it a how to or a series of stories?

"Surfcasters Quest" is right up there with me as far as favorites!:uhuh:

Is it about Tony Stetzko?

I picked up a new book today titled The Last Fish Tale by Mark Kurlansky. I enjoyed Cod as well as Salt so I will give it a shot. It is about Gloucester and the fishing pedigree which is part of the community.

Yours is on my list for the winter, along with men's lives. May add the one numbskull mentioned if I can track one down.

Working on shining tides now.

Cole's Striper is my favorite fish book, but its not rod and reel fishing. lots of good, and not so good, fishing books out there.

Dangles, if you like those, check out hooked: pirates, poaching and the perfect fish and/or finest kind if you haven't already.

Absolutely Chris. The one go to book out of a hundred striper books I own.

Just Googled your book. Now I know who you are! Good pedigree. Welcome aboard.

I am reading "97 miles south" right now. The Author walked by my boat the other day and we talked about the local fishing here a few times and he hooked me up with a copy and singed it right on my stern. I am in the middle of it, it is very entertaining. About a group of key west guys that go to Cuba for a week to fish a international Marlin tournament. Much of it is about the people (ie hot local girls) they meet, the lifestyle of the people there and oh yeah, the fishing. I think it is a dramatized account of something that happened but I am not sure, it could be all pure fiction. None the less it is a lot of fun to read.

IMO there is little room for yet another book about stripers. Everything possible has been written about them that could possibly be said. Frankly, stripers themselves are starting to becoming boring to me.

Anyone could read five or six or ten other books about striper fishing and conjure up his own tome. Like a couple of other posts said, "its been beaten to death pretty good." But I will remaqin open and unbiased and read yours and hopefully it will entertain.

I'm in. Whoops is this too early??

Damn, I wish I would of came up with the name spiderman instead of Rappin Mikey:smash::grins:

Before you guys shot yourselves in the foot, read the book, the guy has game!!

A very good read for both boat and shore fishermen alike.

Spiderman was earned. While you dived off cliffs at Cuttyhunk, Spidey scaled them http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/images/smilies/spidey.gif

And yes, you are too early :rotf2:

what did you guys think of stemming the tide. I just borrwed it. havent read it yet.

I thought it was pretty interesting.

I also liked On The Run, written by the guy who followed the 2001 migration from Maine down to NC, and some well-known plug ho's in RI got some good coverage...

I'll look for the book and read it. Might learn something new:)

I went out and easily found the book jacket and excerpts from Striperman. I will look for it and read the whole thing. I've already learned where the name "pin hooker" came from.
I thought On the Run and Stemming The Tide were both well written, inciteful and enjoyable to read.
