"Each year thousands of anglers from every part of the country seek the thrills and suspense of weakfishing in the waters of the Atlantic and Gulf seaboards. One of the principal attractions of this sport is the continuous challenge it offers the angler; each area and each species of weakfish demands a new approach and a different technique. Now Hal Lyman and Frank Woolner have written a book which deserves to become the weakfisherman's 'bible'; a complete study in one volume of the methods, tackle, lures and baits that can be used to catch weakfish from Cape Cod to the Florida Keys". Chapters include:- The fish and its habits; Basic tackle; Artificial lures that catch weakfish; Natural baits; The methods - fundamental weakfishing; Boats away; Right time - right place.
