Before I found the guy's website, I looked on Amazon and found them for $93 .... eeeek!

That prompted me to check the San Diego Central Library and they have a copy to lend out. They even delivered it to my local Rolando branch library in the College Area as a free service. I plan to return it in a few days.

I think his chapters on targeting specific fish (Yellowtail, WSB, Halibut, Barracuda) is very relevant to kayak fishermen. He also has chapters on Calico Bass, Bonito and Sand Bass -- personally, I'm not interested in targeting those fish.

He talks about weather patterns, water patterns, time of day/night and moon/tide connections. I find these subjects to be interesting as well.

I would say there is very little that he talks about that is NOT relevant to us. He writes clearly and he gets to the point.

Once you read it and make your notes, I don't think there's much point to storing it on the shelf after that for $30-something. Unless you want to help support the guy who wrote it and shares his information with us. Use the library for free. Save your money for something else. You can make that decision after you read it. There are lots of fishing books that aren't worth much more than their slick cover, so I understand your hesitation. On the other hand, it's nice to support the efforts of kindred spirits who help us learn.
