Fish Tales and Other  Stories...
by Capt. Gus Gustafson

Fish Tales and Other Stories... Throughout the book, you will meet many interesting characters such as Rawhide, a crusty old striper fisherman who is obsessed with catching trophy fish and winning tournaments. Things don't always go well for this old angler, but he keeps trying.

Then, there's Catawba Cat, who will tell a lie at the drop of a hat. He even begins to believe his own lies. Hundred pound catfish, thirty-five pound mullet and a close encounter with an African elephant in South Carolina, are just a few of the yarns he spins.

Deere Jon, Catawba's half brother, fishes for thousand pound sturgeons at Santee Cooper, while Fishmore attempts to open a theme park for bass fishermen.

If you like shaggy dog stories, you'll love the one about a fish dog and why he was banned from fishing tournaments. There is also a story about Splash, a big striped bass that tangles with a submarine, and one about Lobo, the mussel eating river creature.

"Fish Tales and Other Stories as told by Captain Gus Gustafson" is available in local Gift Shops in the Lake Norman area, or order your autographed copy online - just Click Here.

The Angler's Guide to Trailer-Boating BAJA
by Zach Thomas

Angler's Guide to Trailer-Boating Baja by Zach Thomas "The most comprehensive, detailed sourcebook for accessing Baja's world-class fishing with, or without, your own trailerable boat!"

The first half of the book is devoted to general concerns--boat, trailer and tow-vehicle requirements; rigging and safety equipment for Baja boats; packing and planning; Mexican laws and regulations; driving conditions; general travel and safety information; tide and weather resources; and species-by-species fishing tips.

The second half describes about 30 launch spots on both sides of the peninsula. Each launch spot description addresses not only the launch itself, but also trailer-friendly hotels and campgrounds; availability of fuel, ice, supplies and washdown water; seasonal and weather concerns; and of course what to fish for and where to do it.

A sample launch-spot chapter, the preface, the table of contents, and an extensive image gallery are posted at www.bajatrailerboating.com. 320 pages.

IGFA's 101 Freshwater Fishing Tips & Tricks
by Bill Dance

"One of America's best known fishermen with more than 50 years of on-water experience, Bill Dance is also a tournament champion and a television personality. His tips will help any angler catch more and bigger fish.

Even experienced fishermen may not know that dark-colored lures work best during low light conditions; that reluctant bass often bite at smaller lures fished slowly; that 75% of all line failures occur at the knot, so good knot tying is essential to success; that when waters rise, bass move shallower - when it falls, they move deeper. Dance's knowledge is so wide-ranging that absolute beginners and crusty old veteran fishermen alike will be educated and entertained and amazed.

This book is being supported by The International Game Fish Association (IGFA), a leading authority on angling and the keeper of fishing's world record."

160 pages.
