			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=sfboater-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0071417141&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr&#038;npa=1" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe>When it comes to freshwater fishing, one can never learn everything there is to know. What the book entitled “What Fish Don't Want You to Know - An Insider's Guide to Freshwater Fishing” provides is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of freshwater fishing; tips and tricks, anecdotes and commonsense information all within a a guide full of humor.</p>
<p>The book covers all kind of freshwater fish, including bass, salmon, trout and walleye, as well as provides the basic way to catch any fish. The sections of the book provide information regarding:</p>
<p>- Getting the greatest maximum results on the smallest, minimum budget,<br />
- Knowing which gear is absolutely essential and what can be dealt without,<br />
- Practicing proper etiquette as well as good ethics,<br />
- Reading the waters and the climate and weather<br />
- Selecting the right kind of bait and the right lure depending on the situation and fish,<br />
- Turning a bad day into an excellent one by following dozens of excellent tips and tricks. </p>
<p>This book offers numerous illustrations and photographs in conjunction with instructions that are easy to follow, and the perfect dose of good humor, as its author shares his lengthy career of angling expertise which spans more than 40 years. This particular book is laced through and through with common sense information and amusing anecdotes, completely unlocking all of the secrets of fishing and angling, helping you learn what it is going to take to catch more fish.</p>
<p>Anyone can figure out how to toss a line into the water, getting lucky once in a great while at best. If you want to catch more fish, and bigger fish, however, or if you want to ensure that you have fun while doing it, then you need to read this book. "What fish don't want you to know" is jam packed with information that will suit you regardless of whether you are brand new to the idea of fishing or if you are a renowned angler. This guide is both entertaining and comprehensive, and will ensure that you significantly improve your chances every time you take your fishing gear out for a day on the water.</p>
<p>Fishing is about more than just throwing your lead into the water and hoping for a bite. If you want to get the most out of your angling experience then you need to learn how to read the water and how fish behavior is affected by the weather and the moon. You need to learn how to choose the right baits and the right lures depending on the situation and what fish you are hoping to catch. You need to be able to recognize habitats underwater, adjusting your techniques according to your environment. You also need to learn the difference between essential, must have gear and the pieces that you can do without. Once you have gained a good working understanding of all of these concepts, and many others presented in this book, then you will be able to become the master angler you set out to be.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=sfboater-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=0071417141&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr&#038;npa=1" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe>The practice of fishing has been around for millennia, but we as humans still don’t have it down pat. There are thousands of books out there on techniques, can’t miss hints and basic fishing principles. However, if you read only one book about fishing, this one should be highly considered.</p>
<p>Baron’s guide is more than just a fish tail, it is full of real information that you can take out on the water with you and that will really improve your techniques. We found the writing to be enjoyable, the tips really useful and we even managed to learn quite a bit about fishing.</p>
<p>The first three chapters cover essential techniques and information on how to find fish. You’ll learn more about how fish think and how to easily target areas of water where you will be most likely to find them. If you have ever sat out on a lake for hours with nary a nibble, these three chapters will solve your problems.</p>
<p>The next grouping of chapters goes into what to do when you’ve actually located fish in the water. From sound techniques on popular fish, to discussions on different types of bait and equipment, you’ll be learning a lot about what works and more importantly, what doesn’t.</p>
<p>However, our favorite chapter was the one on fishing etiquette. This is something you don’t see a lot of any more, and let’s face it, spend a day on a lake and you’ll find ten people who could benefit from reading this. While we wish everyone would read this chapter, it probably won’t happen. At least you’ll be prepared to fish responsibly.</p>
<p>The tips and tricks chapter contains some fantastic advice for catching specific types of fish and should be reread often. You’ll learn a lot of insider tips that will definitely impact the way you fish and the way that you go after the “big ones.” We found that the advice was sound, reasonable and quite honestly, refreshing.</p>
<p>If you’re sick of books that are hyped and contain nothing but a few crazy tips that will only work on the second Tuesday of May, this is the book for you. It covers basically everything you could ever want or need to know about fishing and how to be more successful while you’re at it. Whether you are frustrated with your success rate, or you just want to be able to take your fishing to the next level, this book will definitely help you get there. </p>
<p>Overall, this is a great book for anyone that is interested in catching freshwater fish. Whether you are just starting out or you are an old pro, you’ll be able to learn something here. This book would make a fantastic gift for anyone that loves fishing, especially for young adults or teens that are starting to get really interested in the sport. We highly recommend this book for all fisherman.</p>
