John - I'll read with you!! I'll have to look over my library, as I don't remember all the names/titles. One that is a must have is:
The Scientific Angler by Paul Johnson
Thanks Zig.Happen to know the Publisher? I'll search the Scientific Angler by Paul Johnson Angler. Have to see if it's in my local Library.
I just finished reading Izaak Walton's respected classic,The Compleat Angler" pub. in 1653!!!! 300 yrs before my birth. It's about fishing for several species in England around London and the River Thames (Wonder what can live in that mudhole these days)over 100 years befor our Independece.
You're testing my memory now John..................i want to say Scribler or Schiber or Schribner Book Co. (?) Something like that - don't put too much money behind them as that's off the top of my head.
I looked at photo of Improve your panfishing by Mark Sosin. I remembered own it years ago when I was young kid. Good old days! I readed Crappie ..... cant remember name of book but its about crappie wrote by Dan Gapen. I have a nice old book Crappie Wisdom, Bass, walleye, and pike from In Fisherman. I like to own many old and new books about panfishing. I have a nice big catalog that I save it since 1983. Bass Pro Shop 1983 catalog. Weird! Price is cheap and many nice rods is not great for today! Rapala is cheap!!!!! I plan to buy two crappie books from In Fisherman but I am not sure how much I have to pay tax for Illinois ..... 10 percent?
Bluegill! Dave Genz is nice book and picture of big bluegill made me jealous! lol! Terry & Roxanne book about fly fishing for bluegills. I am not fly fishing but I enjoy read this book!
lunkers love nightcrawlers, spoonplugging:your guide to lunker catches, crappie wisdom and the bass pike and walleye books from infisherman. also the first 3 catfish books in the infisherman series and the first 2 crappie books in the infisherman series , new techniques that catch more crappie and new techniques that catch more bluegill by steve wunderle, bluegill: fly fishing and flies by terry and roxanne wilson . among others
I still have my copy of Lunkers Love Nightcrawlers that I bought when I was in middle school or maybe even elementary school in the 1970s. Still hoping to find one of the old 8 foot Nightcrawler Secrets rods to go with it :-) Do still have (and sometimes use) the 5 foot one piece NS rod that I bought in middle school. As they said in the ad copy at the time, it's an ultralight with guts.
Got two volumes Crappie books from In Fisherman. Nice and good information however many is reprinted from In Fisherman magazines. I got it from Amazon.com for ship is free and no tax when I ordereed something else. Looking forward for 3rd volume Crappie book soon! It should be come out soon!
Lunker love nightcrawlers book is great book! Caught lot of nice bluegills and bass on nightcrawler sercet method. Today is that you can find 7 to 8 ft ultra light rods if you keep looking for it in google.com. Bass Pro Shop sell nice mirco lite rods for under $50!
Ok you guys ya got me wanting the "Lunker Love Nightcawlers" book. Got me a nice 11" Brookie on 1/2 a crawler the other day.Not exactly a Lunker but a good small brook ,Brook Trout on #2 test.
@Jonathan Byrne
i bought mine when i was in high school , can't tell you how many bass i have caught since then on nightcrawlers. got it out again and re-read a few chapters, it does bring back some memories
Went to a local Book sale and found 'Fishing' By Joseph Bates for under a buck.Huge hardcover. Outdoor Life Pub. early 70's
Also recently took out an enjoyable book from the library by James Westman, a New Jersey writer.The book is called 'Why fish bite and why they don't'1961Prentice-Hall Pub.
The wife gave me a great Ice Fishing book for Christmas ,'Modern Methods of Ice Fishing'by Tom Gruenwald,Creative Publishing International 1999. Dave Genz was the technical advisor for this book.
I just got a 1948 first edition book called ,'Ice Fishing For Everybody' by Byron Dalrymple for 10 bucks with shipping .A hardcover book with dustcover that's well worth the price I feel . Lantern Press Publishers
A few cool photos of old classic equipment . 257 pgs. of what should be fun reading!
I got a great book today, have almost read whole book, I cannot put it down. I love homemade, ol time fishing bait and ideas, This book is great. Title is freshwater fishing tips and techniques, by gene kugach. give it a try, found it on google, free books, bought a copy on ebay.
I have several great books that I'll have to post sometime.I used to have a magazine from the mid 80's called Flyfishing for Panfish and Bass by Scientific Anglers.I 'd love to find one again somewhere.
In an antique store in Berlin MD I found a good Panfish Book: 'PANFISH' by Dick Sternberg and Biil Ignizio.Pub. by The Hunting and Fishing Library in 1983 . Good buy for $4!
The Sunfish covered are ;Bluegills,Redear Sunfish,Pumpkinseeds, Redbreast Sunfish,Warmouth,Green Sunfish, and Longear Sunfish.
Crappie , White and Yellow Perch,Rock Bass ,White Bass,Fliers ,Rio Grande Perch , and Sacramento Perch are also covered.
Equipment ,Ice Fishing and Panfish Parasites are discussed as well.
Picked up 'Trout Madness ' by Robert Traver at a thrift shop for 50 cents.Great buy ,it's a humorously written book whose author has a likeable nostalgia for remote Trout fishing in the UP of Michigan. Very enjoyable easy read .C1960
