winter reading
Anyone got any good recommended winter reading (I know this comes up every year at about this time)? not necessarily surfcasting or striper books (read most of them), but books that relate for fishing or the sea.
I have "Fishing the Baittail" by Al Reinfelder on the way (finally found a reasonably priced used copy on Amazon) and I already read Zeno's book (highly recommend that one).
Another book that I would recommend is Bruce Knecht's book "Hooked: Pirates, Poaching, and the Perfect Fish". Its basically an interwoven story of the pursuit of a pirate chilean sea bass boat by Austrailian fish and game officials and the history of how the chilean sea bass (patagonian tooth fish) rose from trash fish to being so highly prized that it was fished virtually into extinction over only about 10 years.
