The Texas Gulf coast is famous for its world-class fishing. Holmes, a licensed charter boat captain who has written numerous articles and columns on fishing for outdoor publications, provides information needed to fish this 350-mile stretch with success, whether angling inshore for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder, or seeking kingfish, cobia, and bluewater big game offshore. Two introductory chapters give background on common coastal Texas fish species and on tackle, boats, and beach transportation. Entries on about 100 specific spots are arranged by region, and give information on the species found at each location, how to get there, amenities, and tips on lures, flies, bait, tackle, and techniques. B&w photos and maps are included. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
