Roland Martin's 101 Bass-Catching Secrets

I got a hold of this book when I was still wet behind the ears as far as bass fishing goes. I'm not a huge reader, but I couldn't put this book down. Roland talks about how to be observant and pick a pattern apart, including everything from lure color to presentation speeds. He really reveals it all when he's talking about these patterns. He gives the time of year, water temp, clarity, etc. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence from reading this, as these are some of the patterns that earned him 9 B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year titles.I've only been seriously fishing for about a year and there's no telling how many of these patterns I've used. I did skip over the parts on trolling and live bait, as they are not allowed in tournaments. But an excellent book, as I refer to it over and over.

Roland Martin has always been my favorite bass pro. He exudes a love of the sport and has an unquenchable thirst for fishing knowledge. And he shares it all in this book.It is packed with the bass patterns that Roland has learned throughout his career. He explains which lure works best under a given situation and why. He covers shallow, heavy cover situations to deep structure, live bait to lures to fly fishing. If you love fishing for bass, buy this book!

Roland Martin's book is the best I've ever read, and is still timely today. It's like the Bible of Bassfishing to me. The thumbworn pages of my copy have guided me to fishing success time and again. WARNING: Do not loan this book to a friend. It will disappear.

This book is everything in one. Every lure he has ever used is talked about in each separate section. From rubber worms to fishing patterns, Roland Martin has it all covered in this book. If you weren't sure about certain sizes of hooks or weights to use then look no further. It is all in this book.

Roland Martin certainly outdid himself this time. I read this book cover to cover and enjoyed every moment of it. Martin's extensive experience in pro bass fishing is put succinctly into words and angler's can truly relate to the situations he describes.
