How long before we can add XXXX by Paul Roberts to our libraries?

It'll be a bit yet. Hoping to contact publishers this summer.

Knowing Bass - The Scientific Approach to Catching More Fish by Dr. Keith Jones of Berkley research department.

I read the water I fish.

Easy ... just keep your head out of the water!

I do that, but it keeps getting edited.

Tom Holshlage River Smallmouth fishing

The Fish That Changed America- By Steve price.

I have read a ton of bass books and the one I read over and over is KVD's Bass Strategies. Just a ton of good info in there on basic fish catching and why he does what he does.

was searching and  found this site with this topic

I've only read one fishing book and it was ike's.. Cool dude. .

Sow belly is a great read

Thank you all for this. I was going to post a new topic about recommended books, but this thread already has what I am looking for (and I'm just new enough to have missed it the first time around).

I'll second the mention of River Smallmouth Fishing by Tim Holschlag, which I've gotten a lot out of, especially in terms of reading rivers/streams, and approaches to take from a kayak. There's also Kayak Bass Fishing by Chad Hoover, which has good information about basic strategies for beginning kayakers who already fish, beginning bass fishermen who already kayak, or for beginners at both.

 

Hootie, that's quite a collection you've got there.

Wow, I'll say it is!  I bet he has the most impressive bass theme man cave in the country.  Vintage gear, new JDM gear et al..... and a heckuva library.

Funny you should say that Jeff. My wife has suggested that I talk to our insurance agent about a rider, just to cover the cave.

There is a lot of very worthwhile information on this site to search and read. My contribution was The Cosmic Clock and Bass Calendar; search key word Cosmic Clock.

A few books missing from those listed are Don Iovino's Finesse Bass Fishing and the Sonar Connection, available from TW. Jason Lucas on Bass Fishing, and Dr Henshaw Book of Black Bass, both are vintage books worth having.

Mentioned was the late Bill Murphy's In Pursuit of Gaint Bass, sales help Bill's family.

Tom Mann's Think Like a Bass, good read.

There is a overwhelming amount of books and information on bass fishing, try to avoid the product promotion stuff and stick with info on bass behavior.

My list included Don Iovino's book, Jason Lucas on bass, and Dr.Henshaw's Book of the Black Bass.

Yep, just read your long list throughly!

There is another vintage book by Robert .Lincoln, editor of Outdoor Life in the '59's called Black Bass Fishing by Lincoln to add to this list.

I also have that one. It's on the list. Interestingly, my wife picked this one up at a rummage sale for a quarter.
