"More than 80 percent of all fishermen spend a majority of their time searching for bass in shallow waters. Larry Larsen's Shallow Water Bass is a book designed to inform anglers at all skill levels on how to more consistently locate and catch largemouth bass from water depths less than ten feet. Fishermen that base their techniques and analytical considerations on the unique concepts presented within will catch more and bigger bass. Knowledge of the exact relationship between habitat and the bass in shallow water is the key to finding large concentrations of fish. This book provides anglers with a way to shortcut years of experience. It offers a new, effective system to quicker understanding and developing of patterns".
