About the Book

Since man's earliest knowledge of fish and their behavior, the basic elements of fish behavior have never changed. They appear to have been placed on earth to provide food for humans,survive as a species and reproduce. In spite of the consistent behavior of fish,each year hundreds of millions of dollars are spent by fishermen and women trying to find a better ways to catch these fish.

This book is based on the premise that rather than spending a lot of money on new equipment, we can catch bigger fish by seeking a better understanding of the science that drives the behavior of the fish that we seek.

The book focuses on a few species of fish that the author feels are the best freshwater fighting fish like Stripers, Catfish, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Walleye. The book is a text for the person who wants to be a serious fisherman or women and catch bigger and better fighting fish. Some of the popular myths about fishing are discussed in detail and in a few cases these myths are crushed by the authors own test data.

The book has the unique feature of placing heavy concentration on the use of sonar fish finders as a tool for catching more fish and contains over one hundred photos and illustrations that will assist the reader in recognizing images produced by common sonar equipment.

You cannot read this book and come away without a great deal of additional knowledge that will increase your catch and add excitement to your fishing experiences. 


About the Author

Jake Bussolini is a seasoned fisherman who has decided to share his experiences with as many people as possible because he believes that everyone who likes to fish can catch bigger and better fish by seeking a better understanding of the fish and their surroundings and making better use of the equipment available to help catch these fish. Jake is a graduate engineer who completed a very successful 40 year career in the Aerospace industry.He has dedicated the last 15 years to exploring the science that underlies the fishing experience. His engineering training has sharpened his quest to find answers to questions that most fishermen simply take for granted. Jake was born in Connecticut, spent 40 years after college in New York and now resides in North Carolina where he lives and fished Lake Norman nearly every day. He splits hit time between fishing the southern waters of Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and North Carolina and the northern waters of Ontario Canada.

Jake feels that with the knowledge that he has gained by his research, he can now share that knowledge with others, particularly young people, who will be the fisherman and women of  the future.
