~ You Are Bidding On A Book ~ Title: Catfishing Strategies Author: Dick Sternberg (Editor) & Steve Pennaz - North American Fishing Club ISBN: 1-58159-012-1 Publication Date: 1998 Binding: Hardcover Pages: 158 - Color Pictures and Illustrations Dimensions: 9" x 11" Condition: Used - Very Good Condition Description: America's freshwater fishing scene has changed in subtle yet significant ways over the past 50 years.  We tend to put the spotlight on a certain species and then, after a honeymoon period, move on to another species. The 50s, 60s and 70s, for example, were the golden age of bass fishing.  Fertile reservoirs supported phenomenal bass fisheries and anglers hungered for knowledge on how to catch these fish.  The 8Os and 9Os became the age of the walleye, as tournaments resulted in an explosion of walleye fishing knowledge.  Now it's the catfishes' turn. Catfish have long been one of our nation's most popular gamefish, but catfish anglers found ii difficult to Iearn much about their favorite fish.  Those days are over. Catfishing Strategies , edited by former fisheries biologist and angling expert Dick Sternberg, is one of the most complete catfish titles ever produced. Catfishing Strategies is the book for which catfishermen have waited years.  What an exciting time to be a catfisherman! Today, catfishing rivals bass and panfish fishing in popularity among anglers, and it's easy to understand why:

Fish connoisseurs will tell you that few other fish have such delicate, mild-tasting flesh.

Although cats don't display the aerial acrobatics of a smallmouth bass or rainbow trout, they fight with a raw, brutal strength that would put virtually any of the more glamorous game-fish to shame.

Catfish are widespread and, where they are found, are usually quite numerous.

Catfish are ravenous feeders, often providing the angler with nonstop action.

Some catfish species grow to enormous sizes, offering anglers the chance to do battle with a fish weighing more than 50 pounds-perhaps even twice that.
