Self-help & personal development; Fishing, angling

The only complete reference on the dolphin, its life history, behaviour, fishing techniques and rigging. Capt. Jim Sharpe perfected many special trolling, spin casting and fly-fishing techniques for catching dolphin over his 35 years as a charter boat fisherman in the Florida Keys. For ten years, Capt. Sharpe shared his secrets on his television and radio shows, and in major fishing magazines. Now, he tells the whole story in a single volume complete with detailed how-to illustrations and photographs. Dolphin: The Perfect Gamefish offers anglers all of the time-proven techniques Capt. Sharpe uses to catch dolphin aboard his own boat the SEA BOOTS. You'll learn dead-boat and trolling/teasing techniques to bring big dolphin into casting range of fly and spin tackle; how to intercept and cast to tailing dolphin, and how to use a kite, a down-rigger or chum to attract dolphin. Learn how dolphin respond to their environment, and how changing seasons and weather conditions dictate the best fishing techniques to choose.
