Synopses & Reviews
Roland Martin has probably put in more bassin' time than any other living angler. He fishes more than 200 days a year. The alltime winner in Bass Anglers Sportsman Society tournaments, he's taken first place in more of those tourneys than any other fisherman.
Books have been written by bassin' experts, but 101 Bass-Catching Secrets was the first by the top tournament winner. And now, Roland Martin and Tim Tucker
have completely revised and updated this classic book. Until recently, the pros kept their secrets to themselves. Now that's changing. As Martin says, "the professional way is to reveal to others what we're doing...we learn from each other."
Perhaps Martin's greatest contribution has been his perfection of the "bass-pattern" concept. To trout fishermen, a pattern is a fly; to a bassin' man it's an exact set of water conditions: depth, cover, structure, temperature, clarity, currents, etc. Here, again, America's top bass fisherman reveals all his pattern-fishing methods.
Synopsis
"Roland Martin is at the forefront of most fishing innovationseither as the inventor, the angler who helped refine it, or a pro who quickly adapted its potential to the bass fishing scene."Bassmaster Roland Martin, the most successful bass fisherman in history in terms of tournaments won, is a prolific source of bass fishing wisdom and sure-fire bassing tips. Both practical and discursive, Martin not only discusses why bass strike, how to use live bait, plugs, and spinners, tricks for night fishing, and how to fish logs, weeds, rocks, and trees; he also recounts how he once fished five rods at once during a school feeding frenzy, and how fellow legend Bill Dance charmed him out of a spinnerbait and beat him with it in a tournament. Full of information and great stories, Roland Martin's 101 Bass-Catching Secrets is the best guide available to help fishermen land more bass, and a revealing look at the exciting world of professional fishing. 250 b/w photographs.
