 Kayak Fishing July 4, 2008

Basically a well written and complete book on kayaking basics. Most of the book deals with the basics; approximately, the last 25% of the book gets into areas that aren't covered by many other kayak books. A good resource for the beginning to intermediate kayak fisherman.

this book was great for an intro to kayak fishing. lots of ideas and tips for rigging your boat. also a good source for all of the gear you may need. if you are an experienced kayak fisherman you will find little new info in this book.
Lots of information May 23, 2008

Lot's of good information in this book. I am an experienced kayaker and have done some fishing but was looking for more information and ideas. This book provided it. I would highly recommend it.
 Doesn't live up to its title. May 1, 2008

Had this book been entitled "Kayak Fishing: A Beginner's Guide" or "Kayak Fishing: A Pictorial" I would have easily given it 5 stars; however, when a book calls itself "The Ultimate Guide" it had better have more than pretty pictures and basic beginner information.
Pretty much all of the information in this book is easily, almost unconsciously acquired by the neophyte kayak fisherman in the first couple of months in the sport, through talking to salesmen when buying the first kayak, and in the first few trips out in the kayak through common sense and trial and error - actually, much of this information is included in the free pamphlets that come with the gear.
On the side of kayaking technique and safety, many other books and videos have stated the information more thoroughly and more correctly. The author is obviously a fisherman first and a kayaker a distant second. Even on the side of fishing, the information is fairly scant. There is basic information on techniques, again, things that can be learned fairly easily without spending another $15 on a book, but what is really needed is fishing strategies, and Null's scope is too broad, and therefore too shallow to get into this. Null has experience as a saltwater fishing guide on the Texas coast; he would have better served his readers by limiting the scope of his book to fishing from kayaks on the Texas coast.
While the photography in the book was very pretty, I found the writing style to be fairly amatuerish - worthy of a self-published or regionally published book, but below the level one expects of a nationally distributed book.
excellent! April 15, 2008

I love this book! I've been reading it over and over again. I'm just starting to fish from kayak. so i found almost ev'rything i was searching for. Great pics too! It gives very good info. Kayakfishing is not so popular in Finland yet. so i didn't get any info from my fishing friends!
It really is an ultimate guide for the sport!
five stars!
