Muskies maina style book

[Scoot]

I recently saw a book called "Muskies Maina Style". Is this book worth the $25? It looked like it had several lakes and a breakdown on each lake- seemed like it might have good information. Does the book have specific spots marked on each body of water or does it just mention bodies of water and say there are some good spots on it?
Is it worth it to get this book?

I've read it and enjoyed it. Pete has a method of "drifting" off the point when he talks or writes.

A buddy has it and I read it, but now that I read it, I wouldn't buy it. Reason is that I didn't pick up alot of reference material. Why: Pete focuses alot on his home waters in this book, but does discuss other waters as well. If you are fishing his waters buy it........

It has good info though.

Best book that I enjoyed and really learned from is "Muskies on the Sheild" by Dick Pearson. That is a good book.........

However, I do spend alot of time on LOTW, so Dick's book was very beneficial to me........

Scoot, I've got Pearson's book if you want to borrow and read it. As mentioned already, it was a fantastic book and for newbies like you and I, it was very, very informative. I learned a lot from it and would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks dog, I may take you up on that. That's actually a book I put on my birthday list so maybe I'll have my own copy in a month or so- we'll see.

Hiya,
I liked Pete's book, partly cuz I know Pete pretty well so I can kind of hear him when I read it, but it is pretty entertaining, and pretty informative. The sections on figure-8s and triggering are very good, and Pete's as good at triggering following fish as anyone I've ever fished with. All in all, it's a worthwhile read I think. Like I said he's a friend so there's some bias in my opinion, but still...

If I'm biased about Pete's book, I'm REALLY biased about 'Muskies on the Shield' (I edited it) but to me it's the best muskie book out there. Whether you fish the Shield or not, it's worth having. I know guys that have read it 5 and 6 times. Right now Dick has a collector's edition out - hardcover, signed and numbered. Pretty cool...

Cheers,
RK

how would I go about getting a copy of Pearson's book. I spend an adequate amount of time on LOW and it sounds like a great book.

Dickpearsonfishing dot com or else try some of the other muskie sites, they may have it available.
