If you had to choose one person who knows his Florida fish and how to
catch them better than any other angler of our time, it would have to be
Vic Dunaway, author of Sport Fish of Florida!
Vic's seen virtually all of them, up close, on the end of his fishing line.
Moreover, Vic has sampled the culinary value of seemingly every finny
thing that swims.
In this Sport Fish of Florida book, Vic shares with you his half-century
of experience, telling you how to identify a fish, how to catch it, where it resides and
whether it's good to eat. (You may find you've been discarding some fish which
are actually excellent table fare.)
As founding editor of Florida Sportsman Magazine, author of
best-selling books, contributor to national magazines, and TV personality,
Vic is widely acclaimed as the dean of Florida outdoor writers, an expert
who plies quiet streams for bluegill one day and searches the seas for
marlin the next.
Sport Fish of Florida is illustrated with paintings, especially
commissioned for this book, by Kevin R. Brant, who has spent many years
on Florida waters building a firsthand relationship with the characters
he paints. (Fish that is.)
What is this fish? Is it good to eat? Is it a record? Answers to these
questions, are here with 231 fish illustrated in full color with the
common and scientific name, distinguishing features, food value, average
and record sizes, range throughout Florida, main habitats, game qualities,
and best fishing methods. (See sample page on the left, a quarter of the actual
size.)
This really is a great reference book, not just for Florida fishermen!
