UNDERSTAND YOUR DEPTH SOUNDER DVD.By Rick Huckstepp. DVD, running time 37 minutes.
How many years have you peered into the screen of your depth sounder, not quite sure as to what you were seeing and therefore what to do about it anyway?
In recent years there have been countless articles written on how to operate particular depth sounders and in more recent times, modern technology has enabled power point presentations and now DVDs to address the situation and get the message across. At the end of the day it is impossible to write a generic article or produce a DVD on how to operate depth sounders, because of the many models & just as many brand names, all of which have various features that differ vastly from one to the other. Lets run with 'a picture tells a thousand words' and it is the theme utilised in this production.
No names, no pack drill and no pushing one brand more than the other. Just images of recordings taken in fishing travels around the country in fresh and salt water.
While this production will go a long way toward helping you understand your depth sounder screen by showing you the all important information offered by correct settings, you will still need to know how to access the functions in your depth sounder menu. So don't throw the manual away just yet!

GONE FISHING FOR BIG FISH.By Graeme Sinclair. Pbk, 192mm x 250mm, 176 pages, full colour photographs.
Graeme Sinclair needs no introduction to New Zealand readers as author of five successful books and star of the TV programme Gone Fishin. Gone Fishin' for Big Fish tells the stories behind the scenes shown on TV, like the day Mrs Sandee Sinclair out-fished her husband and landed a thirty one pound snapper - all on camera.
or the time Graeme and crew landed forty kingfish in one day breaking all previously known records for a one day's catch, fishing from Primetime one of New Zealand's leading charter boats.
The stories are all true - in fact we have the pictures to prove it.

CONFESSIONS OF A BILLFISHERMAN.By John Angus. Pbk, 152mm x 233mm, 210 pages, full colour photographs.
John Angus is a dedicated billfisherman. Having gamefished all over the world, he moved his family to New Zealand four years ago just to enjoy the South Pacific's great billfishing.

The long hours of trolling, the determination required to fish far offshore come rain or shine, the urge to fish for the giants of the oceans and those divine moments of madness when a marlin strikes the lure are magnificently captured in this book by a gifted author.
A student of the history of big-game fishing, the author has produced a list of the biggest and most important rod and reel captures of broadbill swordfish since fishing began for them in the early 1900s. For the first time over, this unique and historically fascinating record is published in this book.

IN SEARCH OF THE ANGLER'S ELDORADO.By Graeme Sinclair. Pbk, 190mm x 250mm, 184 pages, monochrome and full colour photographs.
Zane Grey started something with his book tales of the Angler's Eldorado - New Zealand; published in 1926. It squarely placed New Zealand on the international fishing map. The thrilling accounts of battles with giant marlin and sharks, and lyrical account of trout fishing in the pristine Tongariro River acted as a magnet for anglers, all over the world, drawn to this angler's eldorado.
For the last eight years Graeme Sinclair has been continuing what Zane Grey started as he has travelled New Zealand and the Pacific filming the ever popular Gone Fishin' TV programme. His travels have taken him to remote and pristine places in pursuit of the fish that inhabit those places. From the giant broadbill of the Middlesex Bank, to the trophy trout of Lake Okataina. The resulting programmes have told not only his audience in New Zealand but in eight other countries around the world about the superb fishing available to all in New Zealand.
In this his latest book he not only goes in search of the Anglers Eldorado but finds it and along the way meets a lot of interesting people and experiences some of the best fishing action ever recorded.
