Books (Good reads) about fishing.

[BoatGuy]

I do not believe I'm going fishing anytime soon in this weather. But a good book can be special.
Right now I am starting a John Skinner book, Fishing the Edge.

Anyone have any other great fishing books they like to recommend?

Anything by Linda Greenlaw (Perfect Storm) is worth the read.

Also, Dark Noon by Tom Calvin. The story of the sinking of a Montauk boat Pelican.

An oldie but goodie….………. John N Cole, STRIPER.

I have a first edition.

Another blast from the past for which I have a first edition……..
Peter Benchley, JAWS

Zane Grey and Earnest Hemingway wrote some good fish stories.

Perfect Storm, by Sebastian Junger is just as much about fishing as it is about weather, and rescue swimmers.

I'm slowly nibbling my way through Michener's Chesapeake. A lot to digest, but lots of history of baymen.

If you ever want to get people to wear a life vest, they have to read Dark Noon.

Perfect Storm but also a tough read, particularly the very descriptive ending As I remember the last crewman alive at that point.
