Even experienced fishermen sometimes have a hard time telling a redear sunfish from a longear sunfish, or a southern flounder from a Gulf flounder. Now you can be certain of the difference with this indispensable guide to the sport fish of Texas. Designed to fit into tackle box or boat, the book includes: Beautiful color illustrations of the 36 freshwater and 84 saltwater fish species most often encountered in Texas waters; Useful details about Texas fish, such as spawning habits, preferred habitats and foods, explaining where to find them and at what time of year; Hundreds of valuable tips gleaned from years of experience by expert fishermen; A handy guide to angling basics, including equipment, bait, influences that affect fish, and more; A wrap-up of state sport fishing regulations; State and world records for all species, plus information on how you can get your prize catch in the record books.
The only drawback about this book is that it is not waterproofed. Otherwise, it is very informative for both fresh water and salt water species. The break down of information for each species, such as habitat, feeding and if the fish is good eating or not, has been very helpful.

Don't be fooled by the title because this is a fine guide which can be used by fishermen almost anyplace where there is access to saltwater and/or freshwater fishing. Small enough to fit into a tackle box, this book includes color illustrations of 120 freshwater and saltwater fish found in Texas and other parts of the country. With each illustration comes information on spawning habits, habitats, and preferred baits. Also included are handy tips from experienced fishermen, information on equipment, angling basics, when and where to catch fish, and other useful topics. This is not a new book, but one which has passed the test of time. I recommend it as one of the first things you put in your boat or tackle box before you take your next fishing trip.
