excellent.......2007-08-23
as a beginner to surf fishing, this book was very helpful. It gave me insight into the specifics of knots, rigs and knowing when to fish. I immediately took some of my new knowledge to the beach and felt better prepared
WEAK!.......2006-08-03
This book is pretty weak... I guess the price should have been a dead giveaway!
Good book for your tackle box.......2006-03-08
I bought this 64-page 6"x9" booklet mainly to keep in my tackle box. It has figures of basic knots. It talks about how and when to set up baits,lures and rigs under various conditions. It also gives techniques when fishing from jetties, banks, inshore, offshore, bridges, canals, etc. It's really handy if you are not having a particularly good fishing day and you want to move or change bait. I would have rated it a 4-star, except that it is a 1992 book, and the information on tackle and rigging is generically informative, but specifically just too old. The techniques info is just fine though. I'd recommend it only as a reference booklet.

Limited Value.......2004-12-16
This book tries to cover everything and succeeds at very little. It covers everything from how to build a smoker from a used refrigerator to recipes. But.. none of these topics are covered extensively or very well.
The illustrations are weak; the recipes are very weak; and, the general process discussions are haphazardly organized.
I bought this book on the strength of the other reviews, but am very disappointed.
My Old Buddy.......2004-06-17
I purchased this book WAY back in the late 70's when I was a meat smoking fool. Many years have past since those smoky days and now I find that I'm back at it again. (Smoking meat that is)Sadly my old copy of this book did not withstand the rigors of time...May it RIP! I was THRILLED when I found my old trusted friend listed here on Amazon.
This is a GREAT book if you're just starting or if you've been doing the smoking thing for years. You get recipes for different kinds of brines, seasonings, basting techniques and just about anything else you'll need to know for smoking.
This is a MUST HAVE book IMO! You can't beat the detailed in depth instructions on how to smoke and cure just about anything. I'm glad to see that after all those years this book is still right on top, this speaks volumes of how good a book it really is.
Ciao!
Useful Smoking Advice.......2001-11-20
This book discusses smokers you can build, or purchase instead, and also gives tips on how to run your smoker for optimum results. Various fuels to use in smokers are mentioned as well. There is also a chapter on brines and seasonings, and several chapters on how to smoke different foods, including turkey, cheese, sausage, fish, beef, nuts, wild game, and much more. Another book you may find of interest is THE QUICK AND EASY ART OF SMOKING FOOD by Chris Dubbs and Dave Heberle.
An old but good reference book........1998-12-26
I've owned this book since 1972, then gave it to a friend. Now ordering another. Excellent fish brine! Unfortunately there is no index and a confusing "table of contents" but after I've brined and smoked over 1000 lbs of salmon/stugeon with rave reviews I would say it is a book worth the cost. A great seasoned salt recipe is also included.
Good on process, low on recipe's.......1998-11-14
The book covers the process of smoking well. Good information on brining, sausage making, and processing smoked foods is provided. It lacks fundamental data such as internal temperatures of smoke cook meats. A few recipes are presented, but this is not a cookbook.

Book Description
More than fish tales in this delightful book, readers will discover stories about the special relationships that develop through fishing-between parents and children, between friends and lovers, between fisherman, nature, and the elusive fish. Fishing is a common thread in many lives, and this book shows the strength and importance of those threads-whether your passion is fly-fishing, bass fishing, deepwater fishing, or just casting a line on a hot summer day. Chapters include: First Cast, Small Fries, The One That Got Away and Hooked For Love.

Chicken Soup for the Fishermans Soul Great Reading.......2007-03-15
Loved this book from beginning to end. Wish they'd come out with Volume 2.If you fish you'll relate to so much of this book. Highly reccomend. Thank you.
Great Buy.......2006-07-13
I received this book within 4 days and I live in the midwest. My father loves it. He is 81 and loves to fish. It arrived in excellent condition. THANKS Amazon
What a wonderful collection of stories!.......2004-07-07
I'm a woman who enjoys fishing and hadn't seen many books that covered my favorite topic from both sides of the gender line. I loved this book! Many of the stories could have been pulled from my own experiences they seemed so familiar. I highly recommend this book for a summer read. I love the fact that I can pick it up, read a story and put it down to do some chores, then pick it up again later without missing a beat. My favorite stories are the Bologna Wars by Tanith Tyler, and Tadpoles Triumph by Banjo Bandolas. I've passed the book on to my children now and they seem to enjoy it as much as I have.
Too sentimental for me.......2004-07-03
The Chicken Soup stories follow a formula, and are too sentimental for me. Some people like them though, and that's okay.
Great Stories.......2004-06-21
The stories were very well written with the exception of Jennie Martin. I just don't beleive her stories, though she passes them off as the truth. I also heard that the fish she catches are hand offs from guides. She fly fishes irregularily and posts that she doesn't catch many fish either on her own website. I think she should not have been included with the other illustrious fishing writers.
Customer Reviews:
Good but dated.......2003-02-18
I'm sure this book was excellent in it's time but now it seems dated. There are much more beneficial titles out there for information on discus. I would recommend Perfectionist, or Discus Breeding for Beginners for more current information. If your looking for another book to round out your discus library go ahead and buy this book, but if your looking for up to date and helpful discus information go elsewhere.
Extremely interesting and thorough book.......2001-02-09
If you want a book written by one of the kings of the discus world, you want this book. It is exceptionally thorough and includes fabulous full-page photos, includeing a lot of excellent photos of differenttypes of discus. Another section describes what it is like to collectwild discus in the Amazon. Very interesting, readable book with lots of great information about this fabulous fish!

lacking breeding.......2006-07-17
the book's title lacks connection with the content which spends little time on the topic of breeding. Generally the book is excellenet clearly wiritten and useful but fails to deliver on the title.
Nice Pictures, not enough info........2003-03-11
I just purchased this book along with 0812046692 Discus Fish by Thomas Giovanetti, I found this book was full of great colorful picutures but did not give me very much information. Specifically one of my disus was sick - I just purchased him - the Discus Fish book helped me treat my fish this book was useless. I also found some of the information was exactly the opposite of what I was reading in all other books???
Very informative perfect hand book for discus beginners.......2000-08-22

I find this more full color beautiful photos. Thank you,Jack. Nikolay Khakhamov.

It wasn't too long ago that the idea of fly-fishing for permit would raise eyebrows. Then again, for some fly-fishers, raising eyebrows is the whole point. Jack Samson has been saltwater fly-fishing for most of his career, and by now he might just be the most famous permit angler around. Permit on a Fly is the result of years spent perfecting a very difficult craft. It's hard enough to find permit, as they tail about on the saltwater flats rooting for crabs; then you have to execute a perfect cast with a perfect fly. And if you're masterful enough to induce a take... well, hang on! Sampson relates his years of chasing these magnificent game fish around exotic tropical locales, providing all of us hopeful permit anglers with some good instruction along the way.

A magic book on Permit!.......2000-02-06
It took me just two days -- with guiding for trout in between -- to finish this great book. Mr. Samson pen is just amazing. It not only describes permit flyfishing, but also the magic that surrounds it, among destinations, techniques, flies, fly tying, history, guides, habitat, fish behavior, unrevealed secrets, and much, much more. His words "It takes a certain type of flyfisherman to fish for permit: It takes one who doesn't mind not catching fish. It takes a saltwater fly rodder who can spend days, weeks and months on the flats in the broiling sun and whipping wind -- with very little chance of reward", reveal the essence of permit flyfishing. This is a book that should be read by every flyfisherman; not only saltwater flyfishermen. It shows the passion hidden behind every flyfishermen in search of the ultimate challenge. A reading must. Beautifully written. Great book! Congratulations to Mr. Jack Samson for this piece of art!
Entertaining and instructive for both veterans and beginners.......1999-02-27
An excellent book that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. Through a series of stories, Samson exposes the reader to the challenge, frustration and thrill of pursuing permit with a fly rod, the elite fraternity of hardcore permit flyfishermen and the development of today's successful techniques and fly patterns. As far as I can tell, it is the only book available focused exclusively on the subject. The book should be equally entertaining to both veteran permit fishermen and those curious to understand their obsession.
Book Description
BASSIN' is more fun with a fly rod!
Over 20 million people go out for bass every year, and in this important book Jack Ellis unravels some of the barriers that face the fly-rod bass fisherman--whether a new convert from spinning and baitcasting or a trout fly fisherman in new water.
To fully understand fly fishing for bass, one must have an acquaintance with its origins. This book helps the reader appreciate the rich history of bass fishing. Jack Ellis brings his skills as a naturalist to these pages, not only because of their relevance to successful angling, but also because of their contribution to the fly fisher's overall experience in nature.
Jack's extensive experience and experimentation with a variety of flies and fly-rod lures prompt the reader to think about his own bass-fishing techniques. Serious warmwater fly fishers need to read this book.

Powerful Tools for Self and Community (Re)-Development.......2001-12-13
The odyssey of the Todds began during a tumultuous period in recent human history marked by intense political and economic strife and destructive military conflict. Over a number of years through careful experimentation, the Todds developed ten key principles of ecological design in an attempt to guide, or as they say, steward, the planet towards a sustainable future. Ecological design is quite interdisciplinary in scope, and seeks to integrate biological principles into agriculture. By blending agriculture, renewable energy and architectural concepts, the Todds seek to create sustainable mini-ecosystems, as opposed to communities, which incorporate humans while at the same time mimicking the larger biosphere. As such, the Todds have made the first viable and quantifiable attempt to employ scientific principles that will ultimately allow `humankind' to become `one with the environment'. These scientists recognized early on that humanity depended on nature for its survival, and that any attack on nature is ultimately an attack on all of humanity.
With this in mind, the Todds lament humanity's wholesale movement away from the cosmological towards mechanistic approaches to existence. Using their ecological principles, they have successfully redesigned homes, ships, and communities to achieve a more balanced, sustainable, and ultimately environmentally friendly and caring lifestyle for many people the world over. As such, this book expands upon the principles and concepts put forth in their previous book, Tomorrow Is Our Permanent Address, and gives the reader conceptual and fully actualized examples of self-sustaining structures and communities firmly grounded in ecological principles. Throughout the book, concepts such as permaculture and passive solar design are integrated into existing structures, forming the basis for growing, self-sustaining communities.
I see many philosophical similarities between this book and Masanobu Fukuoka's enlightening books The One Straw Revolution and The Road Back to Nature. Although the Todds and Fukuoka started from different points in time, space and experience, both have achieved the same goal albeit with different methods. On the one hand, Fukuoka criticizes the modern human predicament from the standpoint of Eastern philosophy and religion, and uses natural farming as a means to bring man closer to, if not completely back to, nature. On the other hand, the Todds approach the problem of sustainable human economic and social development from a scientific standpoint and bring the precepts of ecological design to bear in an attempt to realign humanity with the natural world. For both, the concept of equilibrium, referred to as `balance' in the case of Fukuoka and `homeostasis' for the Todds, is critical in both their respective philosophies and approaches. Moreover, both also realize, like many other astute interlopers on the mortal plane, that it is folly to attempt to improve upon nature; rather, human beings should strive to work with nature and allow nature to form the basis for all life. Finally, the Todds explicitly emphasize what Fukuoka deftly implied in his philosophy and approach to living- that all organisms, including humans, are simultaneously independent and interdependent entities.
In conclusion, as urban planners and engineeers increasingly look to nature as a basis for product and community design, this book will form the cornerstone for these endeavors.
Product Description
These seven stories are based on Jack Londons youthful adventures as an oyster pirate. In the early 1900s, San Francisco Bay was plagued by oyster pirates who plundered in broad daylight. At sixteen, Londons common sense suggested he change sides. The restraining of a felony was more to his liking and logic than the committing, his wife said of him. Surely it tickled his fancy too that the most lucrative employment in sight should be with the Fish Patrol service. Thus he joined the Fish Patrol. Catching the rascal pirates satisfied even Londons appetite for adventure but more importantly gave us a record of these outlaw times captured by one of the worlds greatest storytellers.
Download Description
Of the fish patrolmen under whom we served at various times, Charley Le Grant and I were agreed, I think, that Neil Partington was the best. He was neither dishonest nor cowardly; and while he demanded strict obedience when we were under his orders, at the same time our relations were those of easy comradeship, and he permitted us a freedom to which we were ordinarily unaccustomed.

fish patrol.......2001-04-29
This is a good book! It will appeal to anyone that is a fan of fishing, or sailing or the San Francisco Bay area for that matter.In the early 1900's, young Jack pursues poachers in several short storys that are often funny and sometimes hair-raising! The characters are colorful and full of mischief. Without motors on their boats and the power of the sail only, it's easy to get caught up in the early day version of the car chase as Jack chases one criminal after another. Great adventure!
