Down to earth information which can be easily comprehended and utilized to the readers greatest advantage.

This book sheds light on the real life of a professional bass angler. Kevin Vandam lets you into his world for a brief moment. He talks about mental strategies for changing conditions, and various confidence related issues. The book is very well written and informative. The ideas are a mixture of old school practices, and new scientific based therories. Hey, if you don't read it the next guy probably will!

This is one of those just-get-it books. You may wonder about the price, the date, the author (okay, "everyone" knows KVD), etc. I was glad I got it and now it's staying on my shelf.

There's lots of good advice about all aspects of bass fishing: gear, habitat, seasonal, location (including very short chapter on shore fishing which is encouraging), boat traffic, fishing pressure/activity, etc.

It's easy reading with a comforting Midwestern style. It's hard to believe this was written in KVD's early career. It gives credence to why he topped the ranks so quickly. If you want to become a better student of bass fishing, and get an idea of why KVD is one, read this book.
