Recommended Reading
We read a lot of periodicals and books while working on OSJ. Most of them are
readily available on the newstand or in bookstores, but here are some
that may be a little hard to find that you'll find useful, along with
a couple of classics. Do you have some you'd like to add to the list?

Bluewater Boats and Fishing
|
An Australian magazine available in the U.S.The publisher
makes it to the Fred Hall Show in Long Beach every year. Outstanding production
quality, many useful articles. Many of their contributors are small boat
fishermen.
|
| Big Game Fishing Journal |
A magazine for advanced fishermen. Many contributors are active sportfishing
boat captains. Good technical articles on tackle and boating.
|
| Sportfishing Boats |
A Poole Publication (see also Trailer Boats Magazine and Bass and Walleye
Boats Magazine). Now defunct, but mentioned here as a memorial for a
good magazine. Maybe a little basic sometimes, and too many big-boat articles
for my tastes, but had the right idea.
|
| Boating Product Reviews |
Powerboat Reports |
An magazine/newletter focused on unbiased reviews and tests of boating items.
Excellent source of information.

| Offshore fishing & boating |
"Fishing for Billfish and Tuna" by
Captain Peter Barrett
(Fisherman's Press) |
A good basic primer for billfish and tuna. East Coast flavor, but the basics
are the same
|
| Inshore Fishing |
"Between 2 and 20 Fathoms" by Captain Mark Wisch
(Pacific Edge Press) |
A great book on Southern California inshore fishing techniques. The book covers
a lot of critical issues from a small boater's perspective, such as anchoring
and positioning the boat. |
| Boating |
"Chapman Piloting,
Seamanship & Boat Handling " by Elbert S. Maloney (Hearst Marine
Books) |
A classic, this boat should be in every boater's library |
| "Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual" by
Nigel Calder (McGraw-Hill) |
Outstanding all-around boat maintenance book. Covers the wheres, whys and hows
in detail. If you're going to be doing work on your boat, this is an excellent
reference |
