Striped Bass Book
 

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:

Can you send me a copy please , Write your name inside :rotf2:

Take a few min to read the rules and begin to enjoy the site there are some really great guys here... We would be glad to have you contribute to the site..

Now that being said if its the book I am thinking some friends have read.it and really liked it. Plan on reading it this winter along with Dennis's book.

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.

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.

Boss I asked first :)

Lets break this statement down:
Part: A
Part: B

Not necessary :love::rotf2:

Yes boss...

Absolutely will sign 2 two books for a drawing. Sorry about the mistake. This is the first forum I have ever joined & hope this goes just to you. You can see what the book is about in Amazon search my name or "striperman" & you can look inside the book. E=mail me so I know where to send them.

W~... Exactly... I am definitely planning to read it.... Pat Abate showed it.to me when Rivers End had just got them a while back...

Pete said he couldnt put it down.. Really was a good read.....

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.

Three books ;) - One for the Site Library (Lounge, Bar, Reading Room, etc :rotf2: )

Two for Free Raffles (the winners can send you their address)

Send me a copy of the front cover image: jredmond@linesiders.com

Thanks,.

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

And yes, you are too early :rotf2:
