Sport Fish of the Atlantic
by Vic Dunaway
Sport Fish of the Atlantic identifies the many popular residents of the
coastal and inshore realm and goes on to deeper water where you may well
encounter fabled giants such as the great white sharks, blue marlin, giant
tuna, and billfish.
What is the fish on the end of your line? Is it good to eat? What tackle
should you use? How big do they get? Those are the key questions every
angler asks. Now you have the answers in one compact volume written by an
expert author and fisherman who learned during a half-century on the water.
Each fish is shown on original illustrations painted for this book.
A family biography on rod and reel commercial fishing from the beach for striped bass
set on Cape Cod, M during the 60s and 70s. The late Frank Woolner, reviewing for Salt
Water Sportsman in 1990 said that, " Daignault 's is a love story of wonderful fireside reading for all who
adore Cape Cod and its storied mix of striped bass and bluefish While the author has
worked in many anecdotes, he does not neglect the occasionally different and productive
techniques from years on the beaches. Dspault is a skilled writer who can combine how-to
and romance to ensure pleasant reading It is the story of an era that we will probably
never see again."
The author has woven the rise and fall of striper populations with the growing up of
his four children who ply the "Striper Surf' during their formative years. The book
drips with the kind of adventure that it would take a lifetime to experience. Reviewing
for the New Jersey Beacon, Rick Heirize said, "If you think the most hazardous surf
fishing episode is a night on the 8th Street jetty, read the chapter entitled "Aces
and Eights". and you'll be spitting out sand in your living room."' Twenty Years
... was first published by M/T Publications in 1989 and soon went out of print. It has
been a much sought after striper book since the post moratorium period of increased
interest in striper fishing which inspired this second printing Judith Bowrnan, New York

said that she could have sold a hundred.

The Trophy Striper
by Frank Daignault
A technical examination of what goes into the development, location, management,
methods, conditions, mind and even luck as they play into the mix of
contemporary striper fishing issues. This is an anecdotal accumulation of
fascinating experiences which could only come from a fertile mind which had half
a century of striper fishing. Moreover, it is historical, humorous, sensitive
and ever striperphobic while it predicts monster linesides the likes of which
few living memories have ever experienced. The 52 pictures -- mostly bigger bass
than any we've ever seen -- will have most breathing heavy while Daignault's
cult following will express no surprise. Jerry Gibbs, Fishing Editor of Outdoor
Life, calls The Trophy Striper "the single best strategy for dealing with the
new wave of stripers by a master who lived through the old glory days of
monsters."
Rip Cunningham, Editor in Chief of Salt Water Sportsman, says "You will not find
any more or better information on how to find and land that illusive
wall-hanger."

Striper Surf by Frank Daignault
A how-to book for surfcasters Striper Surf is a compilation of information on striper
fishing methods which include fishing with baits, plugging, rigging an eel, and fly
fishing Four parts: "Locating Stripers -- Where and How"; "Surf Tackle and
Equipment'; "Methods'; and "Striped Bass -- Trends, Traits and Behavior".
This last section contains a 50 page section on the natural history of this most popular
species. Comparisons of today's linesides with the so-called "good old days";
and a dreamy look at what has been experienced in the past with the truly huge -- some
over 100 pounds -- moby stripers.
Things that have never bow written anywhere are revealed about striper behavior and
evidence of their presence. As a result Daignault has an almost cult following in the New
England striper surf -- Cape Cod, Rhode Island and the river outflows of Maine. Joe
Tucker, trapped in Calgary Alberta, recently said "I boiled down much of what
Daignault said in Striper Surf to fishing at night, at an inlet with a plug at the right
time of year on the Vineyard and caught more bass in one night than I had previously in my
whole life.
Daignault says that he is the last of a dying breed who knew Arnold Lane, Charley
Murat, Pergo Felice and Frank Woolner -- legends of the heady days when Cape Cod
surfcasting was only first being discovered when even townies didn't know there were bass
on the beach. Frank often writes of his pals, "the Jersey bunch" and New
Yorkers, who were viewed with a certain resignation because of what they could do with a
surfrod and rigged eel -- a skill imparted to Daignault by them. 'Me author bridges Ins
anachronistic past with the today of post moratorium striper fishing.

Striper Hot Spots:
The 100 Top Surfcasting Locations from New Jersey to Maine by Frank Daignault
This directory of traditional striper fishing locations runs south to north pinning
down the author's "Striper Coast" for surf fishers who went to know more about
where the best beach fishing can be found. Each spot is rated I to 5 fish like movies and
restaurants. Specific directions on how to drive to each listed place am revealed. Spots
winch are seasonally dependent have the best months listed. Methods, which are chosen by
local tradition, where known, are exposed. And conditions winch make a hot spot a little
better -- a favorable wind or tide -- are included. There is an interesting blurb on each
location, some more complete than others. Most of the spots have a local shop, with phone
number~ that you can call to inquire about the fishing. Those that don't offer an
interesting and informative "tip" on surf fishing.
You can almost tell where Daignault has fished himself by the vitality which comes
through in his treatment. of the spot. The author relied upon trusted correspondents for
many of the places, like Morris "Black Cloud" DeGenarro in New Jersey. Jack Bennet
and John Chiola, even sent a runner to count all 121 jetties in the stretch from Manasquan
to Long Branch. Connecticut officials largely compiled that state's park fishing because
little else is accessible. The Block Island regular who revealed hot spots there has
remained anonymous saying, "are you trying to get me killed?". The late Dr
Robert Post of Reading the Water fame, wrote the entire section on Marthas Vineyard. Frank
says that they quarreled over this because Post wanted all Vineyard spots to be 5 fish.
Captain Ray DeCosta and Bill Pew composed all of Nantucket, Daignault key boarded it. This is not a curl up and read type of book like the author's others.
However, any surf fisher who is traveling to unfamiliar territory will find Hot Spots
an invaluable reference with amazingly accurate details that can make the difference First
published by the Globe Pequot Press in '93 Hot Spots had two printings, was then revised
in '96, and was printed twice. Seems to be a keeper.

"The longtime bible of knots and knot tying." That edition
sold more than 125,000 copies in the twenty years it remained in print. New lines and
leaders, new knots, and new nomenclature have finally required a completely new book-and
this is the fully re-written and freshly illustrated successor, a book that all owners of
the original Practical Fishing Knots will surely want. Graced with the exceptionally clear
line illustrations by Rod Walinchus, made especially for this new edition, this book is a
must for all fishermen-fresh and saltwater, fly, bait, and spinning-who want the clearest
possible instructions on how to tie all the essential knots that hold.
