Great book. Frank Moss ran a charter boat out of Montauk for many years. How about the picture on page 171--I grew up staring at that shot.

My father had (I too snagged them all) plenty of fish books. There are two more that go with the one you just got. The three make a nice set. One is also by Moss titled Successful Ocean fishing, and the other is By Hal Lyman titled Successful Bluefishing. There're dated but if you into collecting I think they're worth having.

IMO This is a classic. I have a 1st ed copy. In fact when I was a kid this was one of the first fishing books I bought with my one $. Mine came with me every trip to BI and I would study it when I was not fishing. IMO this is up there with Frank Woolners work. Keep it. Sure it is dated and will not have photos of Storm wild eye lures and YO-Zuri minnows or discuss super lines in there but it has all the basics. As a boy, I can't tell you how many nights I fell asleep with this book on my nightstand. It proudly has a place in my bass-book collection.

I've got that book...
Frank Moss was an editor for Sportfishing Magazine...
He used chapters that were compiled from different writers...I don't know for a fact but it looks like he compiled some good magazine articles into a book. It has something about every type of striped bass fishing...
Overall it is a pretty good book, I used to reference it quite a bit as a manual in the days before Striper Surf.
