This book covers a large gamut of things of interest to fishermen and contains many useful tips for rigging your boat/gear. As a long-time fisherman but new boat owner, I found this book encourages you to think outside the box in how you use your boat and tackle. I found a lot of value in the author’s many years of experience fishing the Chesapeake (my area), and the fishing tips that come across in his descriptions of the projects. I would point out that a few of the projects are homemade versions of things that are now available in your local boating store or tackle shop (ex. pvc rod holders, built-in tackle box storage, tool holders, etc), and a few are perhaps even a little hokey–something you might only do with an older boat or to save a few bucks. However, the gamut of material this book covers from aluminum to fiberglass boats, rigs to rod repairs, etc. should appeal to all kinds of anglers. Some projects are great for those who are looking to make some of their own accessories; other projects feature practical tips that would be helpful to even the experienced angler.
good book. lots of great ideas. book sent quickly and was in great shape as promised.
