This book is the sixth in a series of books written by Jake
Bussolini. It is the last in his series of books that blend the
science of fishing with the sport of fishing. This book is directed
at the experienced angler and covers a broad range of subjects that
the author feels he has not thoroughly covered in his previous
books. The first half of this book covers some of the more complex
questions about fish health, growth, population and nutrition. Then
the subject of Sonar image interpretations are re-visited, going
deep into the understanding of what screen images really mean. The
author also covers less complicated subjects like the strike zone,
using sound to catch fish, selecting the right bait or lure
including a look at the author's ten favorite lures. The second
half of the book describes several of the fishing experiences of
the author including lessons learned from these experiences. The
book ends with some brief coverage of filleting your fish, stepping
up your equipment and a broad description of the responsibilities
of every experienced angler.
This book takes freshwater fishing all the way back to basics. The
book was designed to appeal to family members as a text book on the
"how to" of freshwater fishing, starting with the basic theory of
the life of a fish, the waters in which they live, the tools that
are required to become a good angler and details on how to find and
catch freshwater fish. The book is well illustrated for easier
understanding and will help those who want to learn to fish but
have not had the opportunity to practice the sport.
Since man's earliest knowledge of fish and their behavior, the
basic elements of fish behavior have never changed. They appear to
have been placed on earth to provide food for humans, survive as a
species and reproduce. In spite of the consistent behavior of fish,
each year hundreds of millions of dollars are spent by fishermen
and women trying to find a better ways to catch these fish. This
book is based on the premise that rather than spending a lot of
money on new equipment, we can catch bigger fish by seeking a
better understanding of the science that drives the behavior of the
fish that we seek. The book focuses on a few species of fish that
the author feels are the best freshwater fighting fish like
Stripers, Catfish, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The
book is a text for the person who wants to be a serious fisherman
or women and catch bigger and better fighting fish. Some of the
popular myths about fishing are discussed in detail and in a few
cases these myths are crushed by the authors own test data. The
book has the unique feature of placing heavy concentration on the
use of sonar fish finders as a tool for catching more fish and
contains over one hundred photos and illustrations that will assist
the reader in recognizing images produced by common sonar
equipment. You cannot read this book and come away without a great
deal of additional knowledge that will increase your catch and add
excitement to your fishing experiences.
Beneath the Surface is an extension of the author's two previous
books that offer the unique blend of science and sport. This book
focuses on Lake Norman North Carolina but all of its information is
useful to any fresh water fisherman. The author is considered a
Sonar expert and this book is full of Sonar image photo
interpretations to help those fishermen who have not developed the
skill of using Sonar fish finders to improve their catch rate. The
tips presented on catching the various species of fish resident to
Lake Norman are useful for these species wherever they reside.
Several myths about fishing are discussed and some of these myths
are crushed by the Author with detailed back up information to
support his contentions.
As the author of this book, my personal background and career
experience offers little appropriate information regarding the
subject of this book except that as a graduate Engineer I am a very
inquisitive person. I started fishing fresh water bodies when I was
six years old. At that time I fished for trout in a stocked pond
and belonged to a fish and game club to gain access to this pond. I
did not have the means or the opportunity in those early years to
wonder how much I really knew, or more appropriately how much I did
not know about fresh water fishing. Over the course of the
following sixty four years I learned every day how little I really
knew about the science of fishing and when I completed my formal
education I began to blend the science associated with this sport
with the knowledge and experience that I had been accumulating. At
that point I started to become a much better fisherman and of
course caught many more fish. This book is an attempt on my part to
pass along to the new fishermen and those who simply want to
improve their technique, some information and tips that I have
gathered over many years. I have tried to present this material
with a mixture of humor, personal experiences and stories and
simple science to explain my positions on several important fishing
subjects. Much of the material in this book is relatively basic and
the book is not intended for the professional fisherman or woman. I
have attempted to answer many of the questions that I never knew
needed answering when I was young. There is information included
that may to some be controversial but it represents my experiences
and the resulting conclusions that followed. In almost every case
where I departed from conventional wisdom, I sought out at least
one other verifying source and that is why I have included a rather
large list of references. It is my hope that I can motivate every
reader of the book to become a better fisherman or woman and to use
the material to increase t
