Product Description
Saltwater is the newest frontier for flyfishers, with new techniques for taking fish being created almost daily. These burgeoning fisheries are an untapped source of exciting sport for both flyrodders and light tackle enthusiasts. This guide covers over 35 species of fish in great detail: habits, habitat, seasonal movement, fishing techniques, and more. From the famous waters of the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the southern border of Georgia, there are detailed descriptions of every bay, river sound, and estuary and how to fish each. Tides, boating tactics, innovative techniques for taking fish near the surface, access points, accurate maps and map sources, guides, fly shops, accommodations, and much more are covered here for the first time ever in detail. This is the first in our Saltwater Angler's Guide Series.

On the subject of guidebooks, here's one that's tough to beat. Bob Newman has divided North America's Southeast Coast into a series of discrete areas, like images on a strip of film, and then tells what you need to know to fish each area. Excellent maps will help you find your way. If it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words, then these maps must be worth 10,000 words each. Newman also provides lists of accommodations, restaurants, fly and tackle shops, marinas, guides and other services. After dissecting North Carolina, he does the same for South Carolina and Georgia, describing the fishing in similar detail for each state. Then comes Offshore Action, a chapter on "green-water" and "blue-water" species, including tackle requirements and tactics, and another chapter on trip planning, with tips on how to arrange hotel, air or rental car reservations and how to choose a guide. Newman writes in a straightforward, breezy style and tosses in just enough anecdotes to keep things lively. As the subtitle indicates, this guide covers "light-tackle" as well as fly fishing, but the emphasis seems more on the latter. A good index helps make the book user-friendly. Kudos to Newman for a thoroughly written and professional job. With this book in hand you'll run like a train, jump like a tarpon, charge for your boat, swear to catch fish, and pull out your fly rod-Yowza! Steve Raymond
