For the last two years, I have been learning about Kayak Fishing via magazine articles and posts littering the internet. When I saw the title Kayak Fishing The Ultimate Guide By Captain Scott Null and Joel McBride at a local book store, I immediately grabbed it.The first thing that I noticed as I thumbed from page to page, was the high quality paper and awesome photography; such professional photographs are a rare species in fishing literature.The book covers a wide range of topics in detail.
In summary:
- Equipment: kayaks, paddles, accessories, clothing, and safety gear
- Practical “stuff” like kayak transport and maintenance
- Five paddling strokes via step by step instructions and photographs
- Eight fishing techniques via Kayak
- Kayak fishing in salt and fresh water
The book does not cover:
- Targeting large species via Kayak
- Fishing at night via Kayak
The book also features a two page glossary with 71 kayak fishing terms; a great reference.
What I found unique were the five full page advertisements for kayaking fishing gear. They are well done an non-intrusive since they appear at the end of the book.
The book is a great value for novice kayak fisherman and a good value for intermediate kayak fisherman. Advance kayak fisherman may also learn a few things.
