Packed with more than 300 color action photos and how-to demonstrations, this great guide—written by one of North America’s most noted fishing authorities—hands you the tools you need to become a better bass angler. It delves right into the bass’s world, describing the fish’s food habits, growth rates, and habitats, and explaining how and where to find (and catch) more and bigger fish. Travel to a variety of man-made and natural lakes, as well as to ponds, pits, rivers, and streams to learn the best locations for bass during every season. Find out about the right gear and electronics (such as depth finders and GPS navigators), check out important bass-fishing knots, and pore over maps to top sites for fishing success.
