Plugger: Wade Fishing the Gulf Coast

Rating:
Summary: Loved it!
Review: Agree with the other reviews that this is not a "how to" book, it's primarily a biography. However, this guy is a fishing legend & I learned plenty. Found Rudy's life completely fascinating; what a character! His story explains much about what's happening today on the Texas Gulf Coast & why. Entertaining & educational... doesn't get much better than that. Could hardly put the book down. Highly recommend it.

Summary: Interesting Autobiography
Review: Don't read this book to learn how to fish the Texas Gulf Coast. While there are morsels of fishing knowledge to be learned from the book, it is more an autobiography of a man who has devoted his life to something he loves. You will be treated to Rudy Grigar's opinions of almost everything, and whether you agree with them or not, you will come away from the book wishing you could meet Mr. Grigar. Written in a plain style, you quickly develop the feeling that with the author, what you see is what you get. I'm sure he is the kind of person I would enjoy spending the day on the bay with, and I'm glad he took the time to share his life with his readers.

Summary: A must read for coastal wade fishermen.
Review: RUDY. does a wonderful job describing Texas fishing. He does even a better job of telling everyone about how and why the wonderful wildlife and fishery on the Texas coast was almost destroyed by uneducated fishermen, an commerical intrest. He gives great tips to new fisherman and old. The book is a simple warning of how valuable our coastal enviroment is and how easy it can be lost again with out proper managment. This book should be required reading of anyone issued a Texas fishing license. It is not only the history of the birth of sport fishing but a lecture about how sportfishing was lost and the value of never over estimating how easy it can be lost again.
