Fishing for Dummies

2 stars (A big waist of money!) - This book is so general that even someone who has never fished would know more already. Some of the information is inaccurate and/or not up to date. The auther has not been even been fishing for what I think is a long time. He even admits to getting a lot of his info from guides and charters. In fact he talks a lot about all the fish he has cought on the charters and trips he's been on. Anyone can catch fish on a charter. I hope the For Dummies book are not going to all be like this from now on because they are normally very good. 4 stars (A nice read.) - I bought this book about a year ago and still refer to it every now and then. Most likely it's not a book you'll really want to sit down and read cover-to-cover. But it makes for nice reading when you're sitting down relaxing and thinking about fishing when you can't actually be out on the water. The author seems to cover a good bit of ground and for a couple of questions I still had, he was pretty responsive to e-mail as well. All the different kinds of rods, reels, lines, hooks, artificial bait, live bait, knots, etc. are covered. All-in-all, worth the money and your time. 4 stars (Good book) - I recently took up fishing so I could pick up where my father in-law left off with my sons. I knew nothing of the sport so this book seemed to be the one to purchase. It is a great first read for new anglers. It has just the right amount of information without overwhelming the reader. I learned a lot and so did my kids. ...
