Fishing Adventures in Florida: Sport Fishing With Light Tackle

Rating:
Summary: A Florida fishing history lesson
Review: Max Hunn has obviously forgotten more about fishing in Florida than I will probably ever know. His book is a wonderful collection of stories from days when slot and bag limits were unknown and sport fishing was practiced by only an adventerous few. If you fish SW Florida or Everglades National Park you will hear many familiar names, and maybe learn a few new ones. I have used his descriptions to go to places in the park that I never knew existed and found them to be accurate. His descriptions of tecniques used then work just as well today as they did for him when he wrote his articles. Sadly some of the spots he describes have been overtaken by development, but many of the ones in Everglades National Park, both in the Ten Thousand Islands and Flamingo are still there and still producing. With the fishing excesses of the 70's and 80's they may not produce like they did for Max, but they are definitely worth the trip. Whether you fish the Park or not, this book is a great read!
