The Pocket Fishing Basics Guide: Freshwater Basics: Hook, Line, and Sinker (Skyhorse Pocket Guides)
A nitty-gritty guidebook that every grandfather should be required  to buy, give and then read aloud to the grandkids--Bourne's basic guide to  freshwater fishing...does a good job of explaining entry-level freshwater  fishing. And more than that it's a gentle reminder to old timers of dozens  of critical tidbits that most of us have forgotten and should remember.  Best of all it's a great reason to talk to a grandkid about fishing. As advertised, Bourne's book is basic. Nothing fancy. Just easily read  information, explanation, illustration and downhome know-how. Bourne packed more basic info in this little blue book than many fish  writers pack into tomes. --Terry Sheely, The Reel News, June 2007No one knows fishing better than Wade Bourne. With this handy  guide in your pocket or tackle box, you'll be prepared to catch everything  from good-eating panfish to tackle-busting bass and catfish. --Keith "Catfish" Sutton, Angler & Author, March 2006One of the greatest little angler pocket softcover books to come along in a quite a while. --Forrest Fisher, The Sun News, December 13, 2007The "Fishing Basics Guide" is written by TV personality and longtime writer Wade Bourne, who covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques. --Dave Henderson, The Press & Sun Bulletin, December 11, 2007--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
