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.

Do you have Profiles in Saltwater Angling,by George Reiger?Probably the best book ever written about the pioneers of saltwater fishing.

Night Tides by John Cinquemani I read that book every winter... I read only the second half though that's where all the little lessons are hidden. Plus it gets me amped to go fishing!

Night Tides is very good. Its kind of like Twenty Years on the Cape in that its not meant to be a how to, but there's a ton of valuable information in there if you look for it, and the more you read it, the more you find.

"Ship of Gold" by Gary Kinder. True account of the loss of a gold carrying passneger ship of the North Carolina coast in 1850s. Then turns to the attempt to locate and salvage the gold in deep ocean.
Nothing to do with fishing, but one of the best books I've ever read..
Also, "Shadow Divers", about deep water diving to locate and identify a wreck off of NJ.
"Giant Bluefin" an excellent story of the Cape Cod bluefin tuna fishery.

Exactly, it gives you the tools to maintain a big fish mentality and it let's you know how much you have to learn to be anywhere near good... |

Every year I read, in no particular order:
"Striper Surf" by Frank Daignault ~definite page turner by an area LEGEND that is chocked full of pertinent trophy hunting techniques.
"On the Run" by David DiBenedetto ~lighter, though compelling, tales of the Striper Coast and The Fall Run.
"The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway ~nuff said, great for jump starting the Spring.
This year I will add:
"The Art of Surfcasting with Lures" by Zeno Hromin ~still reading and so far, so EXCELLENT!
"Stemming the Tides" by Charlie Soares ~dunno, but it sounds great
Two books by Tim Coleman, that I'm trying to remember the titles of???
And no off season would be compleat without popping into the DVD player a couple of times "Stripers Gone Wild" by Mike Laptew!!

these are all good suggestions and I denfinitely want to read Zeno's book this winter. right now though, I'm in striper-detox. I watched OTW TV this weekend and they were catching good stripers with pogies and I was starting to feel the striper withdrawels coming on, so I had to turn it off. I try to avoid the striper-withdrawel until at least February or I might go insane and try to fish for holdovers or something!!!

"A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. Obviously not fishing, but good winter man book and funny as hell.
The Complete McClane is real good. It’s a collection of stories he(McClane) authored on a number of different fishing disciplines. Good reading level too.

So anyway, does anyone have this book.I mean it when I say it.This book should be in anyone's library who fishes saltwater.Mine is autographed by the author, the binding shot from too many re-reads,and the chapter on Al Reinfelder the best I have ever read. |

David James Duncan. One of my favorite books of all time.
I also love:
The Old Man and the Sea- Hemingway
The Perfect Storm- Junger
All Fisherman are Liars- Linda Greenlaw
The Highest Tide - Lynch
These aren't "technique" or "how to" books, but rather great stories. |
