| Publisher Description: Award-winning photojournalist Mary L. Peachin's third book, Sports Fishing in the Caribbean, proves to be the ultimate guide to sports fishing in the Caribbean. A succinct, easy-to-use handbook with tips on where, how, and with whom to fish, Peachin gives those who love to fish the upper hand when it comes to luring, trolling, and baiting the warm crystalline waters of the Caribbean. With a similar expertise as demonstrated in her first two books, Scuba Caribbean and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sharks, Peachin keeps it simple and straightforward with short, manageable chapters like "Conservation" and "How to Use This Guide." Beyond the directives of geography, climate, and currents, she also describes the many varieties of fish, including dolphin, tuna, wahoo, and other ocean-swimming pelages, as well as the tarpon, permit, and bonefish that are more often found in sandy, coral shallow flats. From bait to flies to artificial lures to skiffs, pangas, and yachts, everything is specific to the Caribbean and makes fishing the region a breeze. This is the Caribbean-all of it. From sapphire shorelines dotted with sandy white beaches to the aquamarine straights chalk full of unforgettable coral reefs. The Caribbean dons rocky atolls, lush rainforests, and some of the best sports fishing in the entire world. Whether you're an angler who prefers fly-fishing or you prefer finding your big catch offshore, Peachin goes the distance to cover the western and southern parts of the Atlantic Ocean, the entirety of the Mexican Caribbean, and, in a few instances, even the Pacific, where excellent fishing is a long cast from the focus of the Caribbean Sea. Before you sink a line or drop a lure in Central, South, or Latin America, this book is an absolute must-have. |
