It is amazing how much one can learn from reading about hobbies and such from other peoples mistrials and fortunes. I have never really read a fishing book. I am kind of against reading them in a weird way because a few years ago my buddy and I were down in S. County fishing when this knucklehead with him is toting around one of Frank D's books preaching like it was the holy bible. It was driving me nuts. He kept trying to convince us that we HAD to go to this spot he had read about in the book that was in Old Saybrook Conn where there were GAURANTEED big fish. Neither of us had ever fished in Conn. before and I was hell bent on not heading to new turf way off at 2 in the morning, but since I didn't drive, I was kidnapped. We followed this clown down there, drove around in circles for 2 hours and never even took the rods off the truck. Seems the book had been written several years before and in that time private communities had all been built in these areas.
But I think I may still read Frank D's books to hear what it was like to catch 50's like they were schoolies, since I will never get that experience.
And I may learn something too, cause you never know enough.
If someone is ever willing to lend some of them to me, I'd be much obliged. My dad said our local library actually has some of them, but libraries are another paranoia of mine.............
