Northwest Fishing Reports

I picked up In-Fisherman Critical Concepts 1: Largemouth Bass Fundamentals today and am liking it so far. Anyone have other bass books they recommend for beginners? I want to learn as much as I can about these bad boys!

I have a list of them, but don't know where the list is, and I have a few books that I don't need anymore.

Made a list, I think these are all of them that I have. Maybe I should read them again. lol

I have a few copies of Western Bass Clubs Bass and Pan fish Guide that I will give away.

I'm interested! Just joined the club too.

I'm semi-planning to go to the WBC meeting this Wednesday (Oct.19***), if Mr. Nine Fingerfury goes. Well, it's really for the pizza and a beer.

I have "The Complete Guide to Finesse Bass Fishing" by Michael Jones. Recommended by me. Chapters by Gary Klein, Don Iovino, Guido Hibdon, Shaw Grigsby, George Kramer, Joe Thomas, Larry Hopper, Greg Hines, Don Siefert, Ken Cook and Rick Clunn. You may have heard of some of them? Published by McGrady Media, 31566 Railroad Canyon Road, Suite 707, Canyon Lake, CA 92587

You might consider asking at your local library for specific titles. They tend to have some of the In-Fisherman books. I had the Roland Martin book "101 Bass Patterns", and may still have it around somewhere. Also one or two of the WBC books. In those days, the DF&W really were pretty clueless about what waters had bass, and probably their biologists had only seen pictures of bass in old text books back then. Anyway, it required some research to find lakes with bass back then. Some did that DF&W didn't know about, some the book said did...really didn't. They poisoned off a lot of lakes in those days, but the poison got to be too expensive. Yayyyyyy!

*** Corrected date.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Most all of my books are for sale, if anyone wants them.

I have one in the early planing stage - It may or may not ever reach publication. It will be with a known book author.

Anything infisherman is great because it has a lot of knowledge in it.
