HH86 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi there raiders, I have been looking at some of my fishing books lately and have been thinking how good some of them are and how much a waste of money others were! My favourites would have to be: 1. Australian fish and how to catch them. 2. Geoff wilsons guide to knots and rigs. 3. Depth sounder secrets. My least favourite: 1. AFN Fish for success (dvd did'nt work which came with it) 2. Fishing in new south wales. What books made you the fishermen you are today and which ones would you recommend to others that are just starting out or aiming for better success? Good fishing to you all.

Catchin Jack Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 My book was an old guy that I used to fish with when camping as a kid, taught me so much about general fishing, rock fishing for drummer and and so much more, he used to fish rain, hail or shine.

spizza Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Hi there raiders, I have been looking at some of my fishing books lately and have been thinking how good some of them are and how much a waste of money others were!

What books made you the fishermen you are today and which ones would you recommend to others that are just starting out or aiming for better success? Good fishing to you all. So many to recall, but one book I referred to many times over the years was Ron Calcutt's Guide To Fishing. On the front cover there's a very very young famous Syd Harbour charter operator holding up two Golden Trevally . Also, Geoff Wilson's guide to Bream. Flathead and Mulloway. The Mulloway section probably the best I've ever come across in any book. Cheers. Spizza. Edited June 14, 2011 by spizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockfisherman Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Not to say I havnt read any fishing books, but when you ask what made you the fisherman you are today? I would answer my fishing buddies, there would be 3 in total that I fish with frequently. Then after that I would say alot of trial and error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hottyscotty Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Australian Fish Guide by Frank Prokop Doesn't teach you to fish but details many common species of fish caught on a hook. For $25 its good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
