Buck Perry use to write for the Fishing Facts Magazine back in the 1960's and 1970's. I still have many of those fishing fact magazines that my father bought. I also have the Spoon Plugging Book but it's falling apart as it's not a hard bound book. I've read some of it but not all of it.

The In-Fishermen Book Series is another good read. They cover a lot of the technical information and help you figure out the type of lake you are fishing and the season. I realy like reading the In-Fisherman stuff when they stick to just fishing. The books well written and well organized.

I also have another good early book called LUCAS on Bass Fishing. Published by Dodd, Mead & Company New York. Copyright 1947, 1949, and 1962. This is a hard bound book that I need to read. It's from my father's collection. Dad was an avid fisherman.

Hope these help you in your search for good reading material.

Oh, BTW the In-Fisherman people have DVD out as well.

This has been a very hard transtion for me and I hope it will one day pay off.
