The Complete Kayak Fisherman, by Ric Burnley

Many of the early generation HowTo books on kayak fishing are on the cheesy side.  As the sport grows so too does the quality of the books written about it.  This book was published in mid 2007 and is very comprehensive.   It's the best I've read so far and I even learned a few things.

Gotta agree with you there. I found a few books and some of them have yet to really get it yet. Good to hear it's coming around.

Allen,
Any examples of things you learned from this book?

Well, I read the book when it first came out, and I remember thinking to myself multiple times "that's a neat way to do that".  However, forgive my memory, but nothing is coming to mind right now.  I'll skim the book again and see if it can't jog my ailing memory.  Always good to get a refresh.

Contrast that experience to the ones I've had reading other kayak fishing books in which I remember thinking "duh! this is dumb".   ::)
