Fishing Secrets from Florida's East Coast

Florida is famous for big catches: Atlantic sailfish at 116 pounds 10 ounces, Mako shark at 911 pounds 12 ounces, and goliath grouper at 680 pounds. Even light-tackle fish grow to enormous sizes: bonefish at 15 pounds 12 ounces, spotted seatrout at 17 pounds 7 ounces, and redfish at 52 pounds 5 ounces. Astoundingly, all of these record-setting fish were caught on conventional tackle in the waters off Florida’s East Coast.

Plenty more record fish are swimming the waters between the Georgia–Florida border and Biscayne Bay. Fishing these areas is what this book is all about.

He provides the essential information anglers need both to have a successful excursion and to protect the fishing resource for future generations.
