From catching rainbows, browns, and brookies in the streams and rivers of the Berkshires to hauling in cod, haddock, and tuna in the salt waters of Stellwagen Bank, this book is your ultimate guide to fishing in Massachusetts. Manny Luftglass, a veteran fisherman and journalist, has written a definitive and entertaining guide to fishing the salt, fresh, and brackish waters of the Bay State. Providing easy-to-follow directions, boat launch information, and detailed advice on live and dead baits, artificial lures, fishing methods, equipment, depths, weather, best times of the day and the year, and even specific areas to fish at most locations, this is truly the only fishing guide to Massachusetts you’ll ever need. For ease of use, the book has been organized according to the areas recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, with an accompanying map for each section. Good-humored and packed to the gills with useful information, it’s like having the author as your personal fishing guide.
Emanuel R. Luftglass has written for Fisherman Magazine, Fishing and Hunting Magazine, North American Fisherman Magazine, and Anglers’ News, to list just a few. He is a retired insurance agent, twice-elected mayor of Somerville, New Jersey, and the author of sixteen books, including Gone Fishin’: The 75 Best Waters in Connecticut (2001), and Gone Fishin’: The 100 Best Spots in New Jersey (1998).
