Its tough to find the time to read with a 4 year old daughter and a wife who can't sit still long enough to actually watch her.
But, I've read a couple of good books about commercial fishing... not fishing books as was intended in this thread, but good books to get your mind out on the water.
The first was a book called "Cod" that I read last year. It is an interesting look at centuries of cod fishing and how important these fish were economically. It also gives you a good look into the commercial fishing world and the recent collapse of the stocks.
Another I read about a month ago, was "Hungry Ocean" by Linda Greenlaw. I'm sure most of you know that she was captain of the Hannah Boden... the Andrea Gail's sister ship. The book kinda gives a blow by blow of a typical trip out on a swordboat. She also mixes in various stories from other trips out. It was a decent read.
Other books I can recommend are:
Green Eggs & Ham
Cat in the Hat
I can teach my dog 100 words
Harold and the purple crayon
Sorry, fishing books... I found two cool kids books in Florida last year. "Ol' Reddy Drum" and "Billy Bluefish"
These stories chronicle the life and times of an extraordinary redfish and a bluefish who wears a yellow hat that says "billy" on it. Read about them as they try to avoid being caught by evil fishermen and learn various other lessons of life.
Yes, I have issues.
