Great read for bass fishermen

This is a wonderful, detailed book that provides a good background on everything from the history of the sport, to the bass's habitat and behavior, to different fishing techniques. Reading it has helped me put more quality bass in the boat (to be released soon after, of course), but more importantly it has given me a new appreciation for the sport. I enjoy my time on the water that much more because I have a better understanding of my surroundings and the fish I'm chasing after. I would suggest this book to any amateur bass fisherman who is addicted to the sport like I am. I also highly recommend sharing this with younger bass fisherman 13 and above. If they love to fish they'll eat this up. But be sure to read it first, you don't want them showing you up consistently on the water !

Just Buy This Book!

If you only want to read one book about Largemouth Bass fishing, this should be it. It is the most comprehensive of all the Largemouth Bass books that I've ever read and explains things in an easy straight-forward tone. If you ever wondered what an "oli" lake is or what a flatland impoundment looks like and how to fish them, this book is for you. In addition to the types of water that Largemouth Bass live in, the history, biology, seasonal periods and food sources are covered as well as how to fish specific structures such as boat docks, points, weeds etc. Some of the specific lure techniques are a bit dated and lacking but that doesn't detract from the overall value of the book. With that said though, I should add that if you just want a book that tells you how and when to fish a spinnerbait or a plug or a worm, this In-Fisherman bass strategy book is not for you. This book is meant to give you a broad base of knowledge about the bass and its biome and how an angler can exploit such to catch bass.

It's simple....

If it says IN Fisherman on it, Buy it! They produce some of the best books and videos on freshwater fishing. Period! Full of current, scientific, and practical advice on the species you are after. If you don't learn from this book, then you probably helped write it.

From how to, to how come, this one has it all.

Largemouth Bass in the 1990's by In-Fisherman Magazine is another fine reference for the avid or occasional bass fisherman. Along with excellent information on every aspect of bass angling the book speaks to history, philosophy, and management of America's bass resources. Bass behavior and locales are expertly outlined. All kinds of lures and techniques for their use are thoroughly discussed as well as rods and reels that make a complete bass fishing package. This book has outstanding photos and illustrations that clarify and enhance the subjects covered. If you bass fish or intend to begin this would be a number one choice.
