by Eric B. Burnley

Burnley hits about all related topics, from lunch to tackle, from buckets to buggys, from Maine to Florida. It is very well written, obviously from his own significant experience. As either a guide or a fishing buddy, Eric Burnley is probably one heck of a good teacher.

Striper Surf is a complete instructional reference on just that, surf fishing for striped bass. As an avid fisherman in many other areas, I wanted to give surf fishing a shot. I made this selection on the advice of an individual at a fishing show. He recommended it as a long time surf caster. The information is provided in an easy to read style which combines vast amounts of knowleged based on experiance and common sense.
