The Fisherman's Ocean

This volume "clearly explains how marine science can help saltwater anglers catch more and bigger fish . . . comprehensive yet accessible" (Booklist).

Here at last, in layman's terms, is a fisherman's guide to the habitat and behavior of saltwater fish. The author, an oceanographer and avid fly fisherman, explains the marine environment and the factors that affect where game fish congregate—everything from how they move with tides and currents to what they see, smell, taste, and hear.

The copiously illustrated text covers inshore and offshore habitat and will prove invaluable to anyone who fishes in saltwater, whether in the surf, on the flats, or out at sea. The ocean is vast. It pays to be educated.
