Sport Fish of Florida

Rating:
Summary: Great resource
Review: This book is truly the only one of its kind for identifying sports fish in Florida waters, and provides great information. The one problem I had with the book was the same as everyone else, which is the poor quality of the binding and construction of the book. Otherwise, I recommend it to every Florida fisherman.

Summary: Great Book Wish it was more water proof!
Review: This is a great and really informative book. I would highly recommend it to any Florida fishermen or women! We loved looking up and reading all the great information and really loved that in included the food value of the fish. The one and only reason it doesn't get the 5 stars for me is because as I read earlier in a review and from my own experience, this book can NOT get wet!! Mine I only had it 3 weeks and now it's unusable! It turned into a thick chuck of welded together mass of paper. So after spending nearly $20 for mine, I have nothing. But I thoroughly enjoyed reading the wealth of information it contained! And I plan to get another, but DON'T leave it in the tackle box!! Or exposed to humidity!

Summary: Great Info, Poor Workmanship
Review: This is a must have for any fisherman, novice or experienced. It is an informative guide that is well categorized for quick and comprehensive reference. I am on my third copy because, unfortunately, the volume is not made for use on the water. The binding and pages disintegrate in the humid water environment. Otherwise, I would give it five stars. Don't even get it Wet--it dries into an impenetrable mass. My suggestion to the author is to have two volumes available. One for the home bookshelf, and one made with damp/water resistant pages (possibly spiral-bound) for on the water use. I believe that any serious angler would pay extra for this as it is an invaluable resouce.
