About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Bass fishing has evolved into what may be the quintessential American angling form. It's a pretty good story line: aggressive, scrappy, widely distributed fish . . . a ravenous predator, susceptible to a wide range of lures and fishing methods . . . pursued by people of all means, fishing as simply or as elaborately as their interests and wallets desire. No wonder bass are king in the collective hearts of North American fishermen."--Ken Schultz

Successful Bass Fishing is the definitive book on playing and landing large- and smallmouth bass in every kind of water--a practical, user-friendly, and vividly illustrated book for both beginner and expert. Schultz describes the sensory capabilities, mating habits, water temperature preferences, and feeding behaivor of bass, and he emphasizes the importance of resource protection through catch-and-release.

By providing the latest information on lines, rods, reels, lures, boats, and sonar, Schultz helps you get the most out of your equipment. Most important, he shares his proven techniques for casting, retrieving, playing, and landing bass, telling you not only what to use but where, when, and how to use it. And he devotes a special chapter to catching trophy bass.

Wherever you fish for bass, and no matter what your skill level, Successful Bass Fishing will help you become a better, more knowledgeable bass angler.
