Hi Steve: Many thanks for your reply Your book sounds to me as though it will be well recieved even if one has to do a lot of reading to get at the truth.
I like the sound of you approach to presenting watermanship its exactly what is needed by even experienced fishermen. Truth is most of them rely on fishing the holts that were productive last time they fished rather than logically arriving at the location of the optimum holts.
I just purchased and read Hertzogs book and was dissapointed in the watermanship coverage.I know you will do better.
When you get down to it Herzogs book is really just a history and application of fishing lure designs with a bit of periferal material.
What I, and I believe many others are looking for, is the watermanship information, plus the line and rod manipulation techniqes to insure that different lures are being presented properly in the various types of holts.
Its a big task but I`m sure you are up to it.I sympathize with you rewrighting problem because as a forest research scientist I was faced with the same problem in presenting my research .
I`m putting my name on the register with Amato now for an early copy of your book.Hurry up as I am 80 now and havent got much time to apply your valuable knowledge.
