Fishing in the Comfort Zone: Choosing Fishing Techniques, Tackle, and Locations to Make Your Fishing Experience More Enjoyable with an Emphasis on (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530152421)

This book describes my philosophy toward fishing -- the Fishing Comfort Zone. First, there are many different techniques and ways in which to fish. Second, there are many styles of rods and reels that are suited for different types of fishing. Likewise, there are hundreds of different types of soft and hard plastic, metal, and wooden lures. Third, fishing is available at thousands of locations in fresh and salt water, in rivers, lakes, bays, and oceans. Most fishermen have fishing spots close to home or may choose to travel to find other interesting spots. It is not possible for any person to fish in all ways with all types of tackle at all locations. After having fished in many types of settings, I have determined which methods, tackle, and locations are my preferred ones. These make up my fishing comfort zone. I also learned which ones I do not enjoy as much. The book begins with a description of the concept of the fishing comfort zone and explains the experiences I had and the learning I did to reach my current comfort zone. Next the book describes common types of rods, reels, and lures with a discussion of why I use particular ones. Separate chapters explain how I practice casting, jigging, light tackle trolling, and fishing with bait from my center console boat and my fishing kayaks. I have been fishing from kayaks for the past 15 years and find that each year I make more of my fishing trips in the kayaks. The book includes three chapters on kayak fishing that discuss how to select a kayak that is right for you and how to add accessories to make your fishing more comfortable and productive. This book offers tips on how to fish successfully with light tackle from small boats and kayaks and how to learn the types of fishing that make up your fishing comfort zone.
