I’ve found this book interesting and a good overall resource on saltwater fishing.

Good chapters on every method and technique of saltwater fishing: jigging, trolling, fly fishing, surf casting, chumming, etc.

Includes descriptions and best techniques for catching 75 of the most popular game fish found on North American coasts including feeding habits and preferred environments. Good sections on equipment (rods, reels, boats), tying knots and proper techniques for cleaning and cooking your catch.

This guide is courtesy of the Bass Pro Shops article library and Stren. Click on the highlighted links below for easy, clear illustrations on how to tie these knots.

A fishing knot is nothing more than a series of wraps and loops in a line that results in a strong connection when tightened. These directions refer to the end of the fishing line, which goes to the hook or lure, as the “tag end” and the long end of the line, which goes to the reel, as the “standing line.”
