    any good fish books for gulf coast

    looking for a good book or two regarding what specie of fish shows up along the coast based on weather, water temps, time of year, bait of choice, etc. up here in the north we have guides who have published excellent tutorials on migrating river fish and how to target them throughout our 4 seasons. these books are also considered coffee table collections as to the qualty of the photos and material the book is made of. this forum is a wealth of information but i am a little old achool who appreciates the smell and feel of reading material. mainly looking for something for surf/beach and pier reading. thanks all God bless.

    Fishing the Local Waters, by Jim Hoskins and Chris Phillips

    Pier Fishing the Gulf Coast, by Mike Peacher

    Mikes book was self published and he's sold out a couple of printings. U might find the other on Amazon.

    if David ever publishes, I wil certainly buy several.
