The author, an oceanographer and avid fly fisherman, explains the marine environment and the factors that affect where game fish congregate, how they move with tides and currents, what they see, smell, taste, and hear. The copiously illustrated text covers inshore and offshore habitat and will prove invaluable to anyone who fishes in saltwater, whether in the surf, on the flats, or out at sea. The ocean is vast. It pays to be educated. David Ross is an oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. He is the author of several textbooks in his field and writes the popular column "Marine Science for Fly Fishers" for Saltwater Fly Fishing magazine. | | | |

No nonsense, serious fishing! Dec 08, 2000
David Ross gets to the point with consise, informative strategies about surfcasting. The information he presents does not reek of egomania, but instead offers a variety of methods in catching the Big Kauna. It's pure fishing and a guide that is keeping me in line during these colder months. Another positive about this book was the fact that I did not feel like it was an advertising section for certain tackle or gear. The details were not overly wordy, but were easy to grasp and take out to the jetty. I recommend this book to all surfcasters - both rod and fly alike. Good fishing!!

 well worth the effort it takes to read it! Dec 25, 2001
By laurence r. dry
Finally a book on fishing that can teach an angler something about the subject. Although it is written to a degree from the author's perspective as an ocean fly fisherman, it has a lot of really good scientific information about all aspects of fish and fishing, oceans, tides, etc. I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to, "catch rather than fish", whether he (or she) is a salt water or fresh water fisherperson. Obviously if you are the latter sort, the portions relating strictly to the ocean and estuaries will not be of much interest. But I know of no book that has given me more information nor made me so excited to try out what I learned!!! I am a life-long avid salt and fresh water angler and considered myself reasonably knowledgable until I read what Mr. Ross has to say.Granted this book takes effort to read. It is more like a text than an easy read. Frankly the first portion of the book put me into a deep slumber after an average of just 5 pages but the last half kept me awake. I have purchased a copy for my fishing partner since I don't want to give up my copy. My wife(also nuts about fishing) will never see this book. She is already much too competitive(and lucky)! I figure that the information in this book will give me the edge I deserve.

Great Information for the Serious Fisherman Oct 28, 2009
By R. Donaldson
This is very good information for the serious fisherman. If you only fish once in a great while because someone asked you to go, this may not be for you. The author gets into the ocean structure and biology of the ocean along with tides, waves, currents, and a lot of other information in the first half of this book.
The second half is full of information about fish and he ties it all in with the first half. Very good reading for those who are really into saltwater fishing whether it be from the surf, in a tidal creek, or a boat.
good bedtime reading Jan 27, 2011
By woodski
This book gives very basic information about catching saltwater fish. More than that- it outlines all of the factors involved in fishing period so that the reader gains more of an understanding of what is taking place around you in the marine environment. From wave patterns to different types of fish, to the color specturm at the depths of the ocean- It's kind of dry but interesting and informative for a novice fisherwoman like myself. It's great bedtime reading because it puts me right to sleep and I can pick right up where I left off with no problem.
