I purchased this book before a vacation trip to the Panhandle. I followed the instruction on beach fishing and caught a variety of fish on artificials every day on every outing. The book covers most if not all types of fishing well enough to put success well within reach for anyone. An excellent book with practical and unique insights. I highly recommend this book for anyone planning to fish the saltwater of Florida.
More than your usual fishing guide

Before a recent trip to Florida for some inshore fishing, I purchased several guide books of which this was the best. In what other Florida fishing book does the author bother to provide an entertaining background on the geological history that produced the Florida coastal flats? There is a light dusting of cornball humor, but it only makes a very informative book a bit more fun to read. Highly recommended.
Great Book

If your looking to get into the wonderful world of Florida's inshore fishing, this book is a must. It's fun, easy reading and the author gives you what you need to know. I moved to Florida from Ohio and was an avid bass angler. When I moved to Florida's Cape Coral and started fishing the Pine Island sound area I quickly realized I was out way out of my league. This book helped me to understand and read the water. How, when and where to look for certain fish and how to fish for them. It has an excellent chapter on flats fishing which anyone fishing FL inshore needs to know about. The reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 is that the book does not show how to's on using the tackle that is needed for these waters. For instance, how to throw a cast net would be nice or how to tie a certain type of rig. He does however cover tackle, just not in the depth that I would have liked. Some "secret spot" information would have been nice to. Overall however, the book is outstanding and has helped me to do some of the best fishing ever. If you live in FL or just come down for vacation and want to do some inshore angling this book is a must!
