Title: Your Favorite Fishing Books
Post by: kmanno on October 09, 2011, 11:34:33 AM
Ok...I know its not winter yet...but here goes...

What are your favorite fishing books...I'm sure we all could add another book to our collections...

Focus can either be on fiction...or maybe a fishing in general...or perhaps something on stripers...

For a more entertaining read, I like A Season on the Edge by John Skinner and of course On the Run by Dave Dibennedetto.  When it comes to sheerly informational reading, Frank Daignault and the Shore Catch team have some good ones out.
