How can I fish in black and white?.......2005-01-27
Good information;however, would have been nice to have the pictures in color to better id the fish.
All the critical information needed for a saltwater beginner.......1999-11-04
I have been fresh water fishing for 50+ years and am now retiring to Florida. I needed a quick start on Florida saltwater fishing and this proved to be invaluable. Very well organized to learn about all or only the species desired. I went on a back bay flats fishing outing and not only impressed the other fishermen on the boat with my knowledge of fish, technique and baits, but the guide as well. I am now ordering copies for friends who have been fishing Florida for several years because they wanted to know where they could get it. Worth more than the price.
This book covers all about Florida's game fish.......1999-04-30
This book helped improve my angling skills and helped me catch the fish I always wanted in and offshore.
Book Description
A thoroughly updated version of the classic 1958 book by one of the world's leading anglers, with scores of new photographs, drawings, and several important new chapters.

THE ATLANTIC SALMON.......2002-09-22
This is by far the most enjoyable book on Atlantic Salmon i've read and I have many. Wulff helps us learn all we need to know about the fish and how to angle it under all possible conditions. At the time of the second edition in 1983 the guy had 50 years experience in fishing for & attempting to preserve the most wonderful of all game fish. He also tells stories of flying to the wilderness of Northern Newfoundland & Labrador
in search of prime places to fish for salmon which paint pictures of what it must have been like at a time when the fish stocks were still healthy and the wilderness unspoiled. There are 8 pages of color pictures & lots of fabulous black & whites. If theres one book to have on the subject, this is the one.
Customer Reviews:
Reference on Estuaries, but a bit redundant with prior works.......2004-08-28
A fine refrence text on the topic and written in Mitchell's typical style (Trout fisherman transitioning to Salt - as most of us are/were). If, however, you own his other works, it will be somewhat redundant, but worth owning.
Fly Rodding Estuaries.......2003-12-12
Fly Rodding Estuaries is Ed Mitchell's third book and represents a more detailed extension of some of the same topics from his previous work. Thus, if you own either or both of these other fine volumes, ESTUARIES will probably not tell you a lot you do not already know. However, if you are a flyrodder who strives to constantly push your level of expertise, this is not a bad place to go.
The book begins with a definition of estuaries and then discusses various conditions one can expect to encounter and what these mean for the fishing. Variables include tidal range and times, salinity, currents etc and these are important in sorting through otherwise "big empty bodies of water." The book then goes on to break down estuarine bodies of water into several types including salt ponds, lagoon, inlets, bays and coves, tidal creeks and marshes. There are also chapters on getting around in these environments, thoughts on tackle, flies and techniques.
The book is 148 pps long and is attractivley and durably printed on heavy gloss stock. All graphics are in color and add a lot to the otherwise fine content. While the concepts involved are applicable to all estuarine environments, the author's considerable experience in the Northeast, particularly Connecticut and Rhode Island is apparent. It is not however, a "where to go" book, but is instead focused on water types and techniques.
Overall, this book is well worth acquiring. The information is sound and generally well presented. I personally would have liked a little more on nightime approaches and worm hatches, although these are both covered. These are minor points however. Everyone can learn something from this book and the process is an enjoyable one at that.

Fish Field Guide.......2007-07-21
If you ever caught a fish and didnt know what it was and brought it home to find out it isnt worth eating - you should have had this book on your boat. This book has no knots or rigs but it helps ID all kinds of fish. It tells range and food preferences and other info. The fish are grouped by type making it easy to find fast enough that you might be able to let it go. For example - It has 24 sharks with color pics and ranges and descriptions. It is so much better than the laminated cards I have and I have a lot of those. This is like the Sibley Guide to birds but for fish. I put my copy in a ziplock bag and will bring it when I fish. The pages are not waterproof but they are shiny and strong. For $13 it is a great deal.
Great Book.......2005-10-19
My 6 year old nephew has this book and loves it! He sits and looks at the pictures for hours. And now he is even able to identify the different fish by name. The pictures are colorful, very detailed and easy to understand. I recommend this book for the entire family. It is fun and educational for everyone at any age!

Don't get fined???????.......2007-09-10
With so many restrictions and diffrent types of fish in the gulf, the last thing you want is an illegal fish. "Sport Fish of the Gulf" is on my vessel when I fish!
Essential for the emerging gulf fisherman.......2007-08-02
I enjoyed reading each and every species entry. The author is obviously a fish enthusiast when it comes to cuisine due to the fact that 90% of the animals he lists are described at the very least as 'tasty'. The illustrations are exquisite and the descriptions for each fish type are thorough. I would recommend this book for anyone new to fishing the Gulf of Mexico.
Good Book and Reference.......2003-12-24
This book is well written and nicely cross referenced. When it's not on my boat during a fishing trip, it stays in the throne room for good reading. The only complaint I have is that the author seems to think nearly every fish in the sea is tasty. Only a few of the fish in the book are labeled as "Poor" when it comes to food quality.
Best Guide To Identify Fish..........2001-11-07
If your trying to find out what is on the end of your line... I would suggest this book. It has good illustrations of many fish and a few other interesting facts about them. It also covers the whole gulf area rather than selecting a state or two. The only draw back is it doesn't include great detail on how to catch each particular fish.
Excellent Reference Guide.......2000-07-19
This book is an excellent reference guide for identifing gulf and bay fishes, and contains very little "how-to" information. Fish are separated into families. Each fish has a detailed color illustration, common name(s), and scientific name, plus a short description of each of the following categories: physical description, range, habitat, typical sizes, food value, game quality, typical tackle and bait, and a very short description of typical fishing methods. 185 fish are pictured in all, including sharks, stingrays, baitfish, and a number of other fish that may be encountered even though they are not normally thought of as sportfish.
Book Description
The first and only book to reveal when, where, and how to catch the amazing false albacore.
The false albacore is a strong and lightning-fast member of the tuna family that has been discovered by the saltwater flyfishing world as one of the most challenging species to target. These fish are so fast and so strong for their weight that they are known to break fishermen's hearts along with their expensive fly rods. False Albacore covers the life history, biology, migratory patterns, and feeding habits of this great fish, as well as the tackle and techniques that are necessary to catch them.
These fast-moving beauties migrate down the eastern coastline from Massachusetts to Florida each fall. The recognized mecca for pursuing them is North Carolina, where the greatest fly fishermen from around the world congregate to take part in the fall blitz. Tom Gilmore has spent years learning their tricks, as well as those of the guides that pursue them. He has uncovered hot spots ranging from Massachusetts to as yet undiscovered waters in Florida. False Albacore is the first and only book dedicated exclusively to the pursuit of this exciting species. 30 black & white photographs, 12 color photographs, 6 maps, index.
• False albacore is the hottest fish in the fly fishing world. Many lifetime fly fishermen are only now discovering the existence of this fish and are pursuing them for the first time.
• False Albacore is the first and only book-length treatment of the subject.
• Tom Gilmore is a well-known conservationist and regional speaker.

Reel-Time's Review of "False Albacore".......2003-12-30
Tom Gilmore has caught the essence of angling for these inedible rocket-fish in his well-crafted book on the species, False Albacore , devoting more than 200 pages to a fishery that has emerged as the top Atlantic coast challenge. Fast, powerful, and maddening to catch, false albacore represent an addiction that surpasses the romance of the striped bass, the bulldoggedness of the bluefish, or the tropical hunt of the bonefish with its manic habits, its pulse quickening attacks, and its well-deserved reputation for trashing gear and making otherwise sane fishermen somewhat nutty.
Gilmore, who is president and CEO of the New Jersey Audubon Society, is a good writer who gets right down to business, and wastes little time in delving into the details of what tackle, flies, and technique is needed to nail an albie on the fly rod. While the book assumes some fly fishing experience, and doesn't attempt to teach too many basics, it is a perfect starting point for a beginning and intermediate saltwater angler looking to diversify his or her catch list from the usual stripers and blues to something with an exotic punch.
The book is well illustrated, includes an excellent set of color photographs of top fly patterns as tied by their originators, and is divided between a comprehensive how-to section in the first-halt and a guide to false albacore hot spots from Massachusetts to Florida. Gilmore interviewed more than 50 guides and other experts in researching False Albacore , collecting the kind of hard won experience from a broad group that yields some nuggets and tricks that even the most experienced false albacore angler can appreciate.
Having a bit of a false albacore "problem" myself, and having devoted far too many hours and tanks of gas in pursuit of the fish, I consider myself a capable, if not experienced fisherman when it comes to albies. Yet on multiple occasions throughout the book I found myself taking note of some insights that while intuitively I may have picked up on the water, I had never really consciously considered until reading Gilmore.
As any one can attest, finding then casting, and finally hooking and landing a false albacore can seem like an extremely daunting prospect at first. Gilmore cuts away at a lot of the uncertainty by emphasizing tide, structure, the prevalent baitfish, small patterns over large, slow sinking lines over floaters (in most circumstances), blind casting, and preparation. With the added bonus of some specific directions to some well-known albacore spots, this is an essential book for someone setting out to find a tiny tuna for the first time.

Bent rods and screaming reels!.......2003-04-30
For Many years Tom Gilmore has been a well respected authority on chasing and landing Northeast species on a flyrod. His
public seminars for fishing clubs throughout the east often pack a full house to Enlightened Longrodders.
His Knowledge and Practical Expierience come through in this well researched book, making this comprehensive guide perfectly clear to fishermen of all skill levels who read it.
This book was extremely helpful offering all pertinent information from tackle to seasonal Hotspots. If you are not yet an Albie angler read this book and you'll soon be!
Save your money and invest in Crease Flies!.......2003-01-21
Although Albies have gotten little space in other more general Northeast Fishing Classics, like Inshore Fly Fishing and Fly Rodding the Coast, I'm not sure that we have enough information about our quarry for an entire book dedicated to the hottest long rod gamefish. I would have said the same about Dick Brown's Fly Fishing for Bonefish and Lou Tabory's Stripers on the Fly, but they were much more comprehensive and the techniques have been develped for many years. Fishing for Albies is a very new game. The Deceiver was on a postage stamp before people started targeting Albies with a long rod.
If you've caught one Albie, most of this book won't be that helpful. Most of Gilmore's insights are anecdotal, based solely on his experience and guide interviews, but it's not his fault. What scientist would be interested in studying a "trash" fish? The locale guide and guide directory will save you a lot of research time. One thing to note is that Montauk and Harkers are great Albie fisheries, but on a weekends are a mess with boats everywhere. You can easily hook someone in another boat with your back cast.
I'd also would have loved to see more photos of smiling anglers with a fish. I look forward to the second edition with more substance. Despite the it's flaws, this book will probably become a classic.

Not an easy read but well worth the effort........2007-04-10
This book is not an easy read but it is well worth the effort. If you are looking for a "go here and do this" study guide this book is probably not for you.
If you want to understand the habits and habitats of fish you'd like to catch so you can figure out the how-when-where for yourself you will find this book extremely helpful. I have only fished Florida's inshore a couple of times on my own and while I enjoyed the experience I had no clue as to what to look for. When I go back now I will be much better prepared because of this book.
If you love fishing, read this book........2004-12-20
I don't know how many times I've read that the angler should know his quarry, study their habits, etcetera, only to find that there wasn't any actual information about such habits in the book! The reason for this is that it is difficult for anglers to amass such knowledge in anything shorter than a full lifetime, and even then he's only aware of a tiny fraction of the fish's ecology. That's an indispensible part of the experience of fishing, of course. For those of us who like it to take place within a wider breadth of real knowledge about fish, however, there are books like this one. Dr. Adams has compiled a wealth of interesting information from the scientific literature on the ecology of the fish we love to pursue, and presents it engagingly and in a well-organized way in this book. Much of it is applicable worldwide, not just to the areas covered. You will start thinking about fish and fishing in a deeper way after reading this book.
Author mentors anglers of all ages.......2004-05-14
Fisherman's Coast is a unique balance of angling techniques, personal anecdotes and environmental information. Aaron J. Adams seems to mentor his readers of all ages and experience through fish behavior and life cycles, and fishes' and anglers' reliance on and relationship to healthy sea grass, mangroves, salt marshes and other warm-water habitats. As an educator, I hope my students and their families will translate Mr. Adams' approach to their own locales, and use it when visiting southeastern and gulf coast states, and/or the Carribean. How generously he shares his scientific knowledge and personal experience with his readers. Only fish - possibly - know more than Mr. Adams.
"Connectedness"--the ecology of gamefish.......2004-05-03
Aaron Adams, a Ph.D. in marine ecology, has given his readers a way of discovering and defining "good spots"--not with GPS numbers, but with a systematic understanding of coastal marine ecosystems and how gamefish fit within them. He puts the emphasis where it belongs and provides a model for others to follow in other books (I hope). The prose is clean and clear--no small achievement for a scientist writing in his area of expertise. Some useful photos are included. One could have wished for more), but there are enough examples to communicate the connectedness of life--and the responsibillity we have to protect it.
"Fishermans' Coast" a fresh approach to an angling book.......2004-01-24
"Fisherman's Coast... an anglers guide to Marine warm water gamefish and their habitats" is a real solid volume of knowledge, which if read in earnest, will be sure to improve the field abilities of any saltwater fisherman.
Dr. Aaron Adams, (for those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting him), for me, is the much envied combination of marine biologist/ecologist and avid fisherman. His quest for knowledge and understanding of the subject matter has brought him through a life path of experience, research and education, recently earning a PH.D in marine ecology.
His enthusiasm for marine fisheries and their environments, along with an insatiable excitement for fly fishing, has proved to be more than a single individual could contain. His willingness and ability to share his knowledge and experience with anyone showing similar interest has been a gift to many of us.
And now, he has succeeded in committing much of what he is about to print. The book is based on a recent series of articles published in the Saltwater Fly Fishing magazine, entitled: " The Science of Saltwater Fly fishing- Examining the Warmwater World". "Fisherman's Coast" is a gem in that it is not a collection of anecdotes, nor is it a "kiss and tell" series of revelations. It is base of real ecological information about gamefish and how they exist, relate and participate within the fabric of their surroundings and their dependencies and interactions with both their environment, and their fellow denizens of the salt water.
Reading this book to a point of understanding would surely arm the angler with the tools needed to make educated assessments and logical deductions about many saltwater fishing situations. You can take what you need from the volume...... specific information, or a more comprehensive breadth of knowledge. It is sure to become a reference book of great value on your bookshelf.

Book Description
A guide to the best saltwater fly-fishing along the popular southeast coast, from North Carolina's Outer Banks to the Florida Keys. Saltwater angling is the fastest growing segment of the fly-fishing market and the southeastern Atlantic coast is a prime destination area for saltwater anglers. Many of the game species that feed along these southeast Atlantic waters are legendary--known for their craftiness, beauty, and ability to put up a rugged fight. Anglers seek out species such as the red drum, tarpon, and spotted seatrout with an almost religious zeal. Here is a guide that directs anglers to the precise locations where these game fish are found. An introductory chapter covers the species of fish commonly sought during different seasons, where they school, how they feed, and what gear to use to catch them. Other popular game species in the southeast include redfish, striped bass, and pompano. Further chapters give detailed advice on gear selection and saltwater flies; and explain how to fish the different types of inshore waters found along the southeast coast, from ocean inlets to tidal creeks to oystershell bars. The author has augmented his decades of experience as a saltwater angler by driving 15,000 miles, wading miles of flats, and spending countless hours aboard boats to bring a particular precision to this guide. He concentrates on areas where good fishing is virtually guaranteed, access is easy, and the area is particularly scenic or uncrowded. He has made a special effort to include places that are accessible to wading or shore-bound anglers. Detailed maps of each area make trip planning easy. 50 black and white photographs, 35 maps.
