Sharpe shared his secrets on his television and radio shows, and in major fishing magazines. Now, he tells the whole story in a single volume complete with detailed how-to illustrations and photographs. Dolphin: The Perfect Gamefish offers anglers all of the time-proven techniques Capt. Sharpe uses to catch dolphin aboard his own boat the SEA BOOTS.
