recommended reading?

[roadx]

i have read Between two and twenty fathoms by Mark Wisch (borrowed from the San Diego library) and getting bit by Brandon Hayward. i was interested in what you thought was good reading for the local fishery?

By the way if you would like to borrow Getting Bit? let me know.
the book is pretty basic but a good read

Short and something new learned everyday.

Why all the books professor?

why not write your own? mine's titled "how not to fish dana point for halibut" a local's guide to getting skunked on every outing.

Look for it on amazon really soon.

Keep at it.... I will be out there Saturday if you want to come along. I'm not the best halibut fisher there but do know a few things.

Not local fishing, but interesting if you are into novels about the ocean.

Check out these two.

Thanks. At this point I can take all the pointers I can get. I'll see you on the water we'll plan it.

Jorge just makes it look too easy.

Moby Dick? I know someone who read that when he was 8...

Old Man and the Sea? Required reading. Have a couple First Editions, so does Clay...

Hooked; Pirates, Poaching and the Perfect Fish
(how the Chilean Sea Bass got its name)

The Secret Life of Lobsters

The Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat Captain's Journey
(this will shock the MLPA kooks)

Adrift? I agree, required reading...

Or for local fishing tips and techniques, the other posts have nailed it.

[Amish Ed]

Don't forget the Perfect Storm either. Horrid movie, amazing book.

In the gray by wisch, Moby dick, and the old man and the sea.

[roadx]

why all the reading? well for me it's about new idea's or trying new technique's.
i have a tendency to do the same thing over and over with the same results.
yeah, i know there's a word for that
it helps me keep motivated, just like the fish reports do. there is always room to improve and grow

if anyone has in the gray that would be willing to loan? i would greatly appreciate it

I like to listen to the podcasts for Let' Talk Hookup when I'm driving back and forth to OC for work. Try and find the episodes where the guest is a captain. If the guest is a vendor then its usually more of an informercial.

There have been a couple of episode with Brandon Hayward and Greg Trompas Jr. that were pretty informative.

NAILED IT. When I am in the office, I have it playing all day. Like mentioned above captains have some really good info.

Didn't know LTH was a podcast, thanks. For general good reading check out Spike Walker's books. They are particularly good if you like Deadliest Catch.
