Island Halibut Fisherman

Description

Halibut fishing is steadily growing in popularity yet, until now, few books have been available on the subject. Expert anglers Robert H. Jones and Larry E. Stefanyk tell readers everything they need to know to land the big one and get the most from fishing the west coast in Island Halibut Fisherman. The authors are experienced in all facets of halibut fishing and have drawn on the knowledge of professional Vancouver Island guides to provide invaluable “how to” and “where to” tips. Hundreds of photographs, illustrations, and maps accompany topics such as halibut biology, tackle, bait, lures, tactics, and processing. Popular halibut destinations are covered throughout the Pacific Northwest with over 660 placenames accompanied by their longitude and latitude for easy reference on a marine chart or for programming a Global Positioning System. With advice on everything from trolling, bottom bouncing, drift-jigging to fighting, releasing, landing, and handling halibut, no tackle box is complete without Island Halibut Fisherman.
