"A Place on the Water", by Jerry Dennis. A real treat.

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!!!

Next month you can start Hard Water fishing.......or Plug Making. Give in to the Dark Side

nightprowler · 12-10-2007, 12:05 PM

"The River Why" not sure of the author
and a river runs through it.
I haven't gotten very far into river why but it is supposed to be very good.

Its been a long time since I have been able to read his stories!!! They truly due mess with your mind! Let me know how far you get!

Mr. Sandman · 01-14-2008, 05:14 PM

I am reading The Zen of Fish by Trever Corson...which is pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about sushi and its history. This is not a fishing book. He also wrote a great book a couple years ago called the secret life of lobsters. ( I liked that one a lot)

l am also reading Charlie Soares new book "Stemming the tide". While not exactly a how-to it is more of a lifetime of knowledge book presented within many stories. I am enjoying it.

Krispy · 01-14-2008, 05:19 PM

Another

for "Stemming the Tide" by Charlie Soares. Was a fun read

CaptMike · 01-21-2008, 09:49 AM

Blues by John Hersey is one of my favorite fishing books. Extremely well written

Makes you want to ponder life, while on Middleground...

Something like "why cheerleaders hate me" by Rick Reilly. Its a compilation of his 100 favorite articles from Sports Illustrated. - easy and inspirational reading.

"The happiest man in the world" about a man and his attempt to sail around the world on a home made raft.

There's also a new book out about Pistol Pete Maravich that was pretty good.

For fishing books, read Lou Tabory's books even if you don't fly fish. He has a lot of great ideas on tides, currents, etc.
