Winter reading suggestions
Looking for fishing books to read this winter.
Not so much how to/instructional books but more about fish and their make up, science, eyesight etc
Obviously anything related to striped bass is key
Thanks

Lou Tabory's books. Worth it even though it is a fly book and not exactly what you are looking for.

I have both of John Skinner's books Fishing the Bucktail and Striper Pursuit. There is some guiding and such but he does put those tid bits in here and there given how short the books are.

The Fisherman's Ocean by David Ross is good and pretty in line with what you are looking for.

Light reading. Not techniques but fun mysteries by Phillip Craig. All set on Marthas Vineyard. To break tension and think he and his girlfriend then wife in later books hit Wasque for bluefish. You will recognize the locations various scenes and if you like MV or the derby or even the vineyard island attitude they are fun and simple mysteries. I have read about 9 of his 21JW Jackson Vineyard Mysteries. Good way to unwind.

Caught was good, Zach Harveys epilogue was a pleasant addition to the book, it did a good job at describing the current state of the fishery and why finger pointing is not constructive to the plight of the fisheries.
If anyone is in the CT area Wednesday 1-6-16 -
Jeff Nichols will be the CT Surfcasters guest speaker for the evening. 7PM @ the Old Memorial Town Hall in Madison. 8 Meeting House Lane.

Sort of an old thread, but getting to that time of year. Anything new and interesting anyone's reading this winter?
My library is back in NJ, still on the Cape (no complaints about that). I found a whole bunch of books by Joseph Lincoln in my dad's basement. Not so much fishing, but about old sea captains and old fishermen. Lincoln grew up on the Cape and then wrote stories about going's-on in fictional Cape towns. Fun stuff. What's anyone else reading?

I really liked "Striper" by John Cole. It's sorta two books in one: a chapter about the life of striped bass from molt to adulthood, and the next about the life of college kid haul net seining off of Long Island. The two stories go well together
