Texas Reds

By Chester Moore Jr.

Book Overview

Chester Moore has re-written his classic redfish volume for this updated edition. Here's what he has to say about this book, and its subject: "Long before the speckled trout was the most popular species on the Gulf Coast, redfish were the big prize. In my region, trout were mainly by-catch for anglers seeking reds How times have changed. Now, some diehard speckled trout anglers give redfish disparaging nicknames like 'golden croaker on steroids, ' 'crab carp, ' and 'fool's gold.' I personally want to puke when I hear anglers disrespecting redfish; to me, those comments are trampling on the traditions of many great anglers."

Customer Reviews

Simply Awesome.

This book is great. This book is a must have for both the beginner and the expert redfish angler. It includes all of the basics for someone just starting out, as well as some good tips and secrets for folks that grew up fishing for reds on the Texas coast. Not only is it full of excellent facts, it's Mr. Moore's writing style is very entertaining, making it a book that I had trouble putting down. Also, unlike other books on the subject, the pictures and maps make you want to take the week off and head to the coast.

Great Reading!

This books is not just wonderful for the fishermen in your life. Chester Moore weaves lyrical writing into the fishing instruction and experience. My husband was dazzled!

Don't think about it .....it's a keeper.

This book as well as the Texas reds from Mr Moore in my particular opinion is a must have. I been fishing the south Texas flats for the last 5 years and I haven't finish to learn. If you like Salt water inshore fishing you will be more than happy reading each of the chapters from how to cach them to how to cook them and in between.
