No. There really isn't much in this book that your grandpa didn't already teach you. Would I recommend this book to a friend. If you know absolutely NOTHING about fishing, then buy this book. But if you know the basics already, skip it.
Good book full of good information for me as a relative beginner. I love the humorous way the author writes and love his stories.This is the most reader friendly fishing book I have seen so far.
Frank Baron with common sense fishing knowledge, gathered over a lot of years, has a regular guy sense of humor. Along with a chuckle nearly every page, Frank will give you the fishing facts that if you follow, you'll catch lots of fish. Raised in a fishing family and was fishing before he could hold a cane pole, he gives you the straight inside talk about fish and fishing. Thoughout his many years of fishing he has learned to think like a fish, and with this knowledge you will learn through his unique sense of humor, and from a fish's point of view, that all fish have just a few things in common; where to live, what to eat, and what's a comfortable watery enviornment. There is only one thing; don't tell the fish you know. I highly recommend this book -- [.].
It dawned on me that my slow reading pace was due to the content being so engaging and relevant. It will take at upwards of a dozen books to start a basic fishing library. There is no one "perfect" fishing book. Even with all my years of fishing experience, I wanted to make sure I did not miss a thing. If you have to chose a single book to start your personal fishing library, this should be the one.I was at first at bit dismayed that the book was not two inches thick. Then I noticed how slowly I was reading it. I went back to read it a second time and used a yellow highlighter to mark passages I wanted to refer back to. I was amazed at how much I highlighted.
I odered this book as a Christmas Gift for my husband. Never heard of it, but bought it based on the reviews already written. My husband told me it's a great book, very infomative yet humorus. He told me I made a great choice.
