I made a couple trips to the Gulf in the mid 70's, and really enjoyed fishing the Brownsville Ship Channel and the Laguna Madre. After my retirement I decided to revisit South Texas and spend a couple of months. We catch such a variety of fish, that identification was a major problem. With the strict regulations of the Texas Fisheries, I felt that I needed to find a guide from an expert. Sport Fish of the Gulf of Mexico by Vic Dunaway is the book of choice. With over 200 species of fish in the Gulf, this book does a great job with illustratiions, and descriptions of each species. This book is designed for the fisherman. This book is a quick reference guide to be taken on the fishing trip, and used with confidence. This guide is a must have, to feel safe keeping and identifying your catch.
I bought this book back in 2002 when I started offshore fishing. I had to replace my original because it got wet. So the reason for buying a new one. I use this to identify the different species of fish and there size limit when I do not know what they are like a gag grouper and a scamp just a few little differences between them . So great book and yes we have cell phones now days and I have an app that dose it also but when you are way out might just not have a signal.

My wife and I bought several books by Vic Dunaway on fish species. The writing style is a perfect way to get rite down to it when it comes to fishing. How to fish them, with what bait, and where to find them. The books on fish species are a must for any fishing person. These books should be on everyone's lists as the gift idea when you can't think of what to get that person that has everything when it comes to fishing for sport or profit. Besides the books are the right size for a tackle box as well, just wish they had a pocket version set! Buy them and enjoy! Vince and Tonya.
Of the three books I purchased on fish in the Gulf of Mexico, this book is BY FAR, the best. It has vivid pictures, and can tell you alot about them, and if they are not edidble, or the best of the restaurant. Very nice book, and had I known it then, it would have been the only one I would have needed to purchase. I highly recomend it for fishermen, travelers, and the curious. Enjoy it. Capt. E.D.

An excellent choice for sport fishing enthusiasts. It is great for fast identification of Gulf of Mexico sport/game fish.
