IGFA's 101 Freshwater Fishing Tips & Tricks

By Bill Dance

Book Overview

One of America's best known fishermen with more than 50 years of on-water experience, Bill Dance is also a tournament champion and a television personality. His tips will help any angler catch more and bigger fish. Even experienced fishermen may not know that dark-colored lures work best during low light conditions; that reluctant bass often bite at smaller lures fished slowly; that 75% of all line failures occur at the knot, so good knot tying is essential to success; that when waters rise, bass move shallower--when it falls, they move deeper. Dance's knowledge is so wide-ranging that absolute beginners and crusty old veteran fishermen alike will be educated and entertained and amazed. This book is being supported by The International Game Fish Association (IGFA), a leading authority on angling and the keeper of fishing's world record. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen. Our books for anglers include titles that focus on fly fishing, bait fishing, fly-casting, spin casting, deep sea fishing, and surf fishing. Our books offer both practical advice on tackle, techniques, knots, and more, as well as lyrical prose on fishing for bass, trout, salmon, crappie, baitfish, catfish, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Customer Reviews

My husband loves this book!

I understand this book sells elsewhere for $15.99 and up. It is a small paperback version. My husband plans to put in his kayak when he goes fishing.

Biggest little Fishin Book I ever saw!!

Bill Dance's fishin tips are easy to read & very informative. Reading it was like listening to your dad or favorite uncle tellin you all their deepest secrets to catchin the big ones. Things that only can be learned thru experience and passed on down to family & friends. It was well worth the investment. I can't wait to try out what I've learned next spring!

Very focused book

This book is simple to read and it is very focused. It has short tips that had beed very helpful in my bass fishing trips.

GREAT FOR BEGGINERS

This is not a book for experienced anglers. Good for those who are starting. For the price, and knowing it's for begginers, it is great book with 5 stars.

Clear and Concise

If anyone is qualified to offer over 100 tips on freshwater fishing, it's Bill Dance. Short and sweet, each tip is interesting, informative, and full of little nuggets of advice that will make you itch to get out there and try them for yourself. The illustrations are helpful, too.
