JOHN PAXTON is an author and avid angler who spends much of his time fishing with his two children across New England. John enjoys learning everything he can about fishing and boating, and shares what he learns with the world on his website fishingfather.com
"Fishing has been such a blessing to my family, and having My
Awesome Guide to Freshwater Fishing is truly a gift in learning how
to prepare, what types of tools we'll need, and most importantly,
how to make it fun for families! John's expertise is evident in
each chapter in a clear guide with well-illustrated pictures and
well-organized chapters. Grab this book if you want to make fishing
a family hobby--your kids will thank you!" --Jamie Taylor, founder
of Taylored Media Group and blogger for jamieeverafter.com
"Fishing with my dad is one of my most cherished childhood
memories. John's combination of easy-to-follow steps and
instructional artwork will help any parent give their child a
lifelong love of fishing and the outdoors." --Russ Egan, founder of
All Fishing Gear, allfishinggears.com
"I've been guiding three generations of John's family on Lake
Champlain and the Harris Chain in Florida for over ten years. He
has the knowledge and the patience to be a guide himself. He's a
great parent, and his literary skills are the icing on the cake,
making him the perfect author for a children's fishing book like
this. The addition of the interactive log makes this guide the
perfect introduction for kids, keeping them interested and involved
in the wholesome pastime we love so much." --Captain Mick Maynard,
Lake Champlain Charter Captain
"When we have young children at the Lodge, it just seems to infuse
our staff with a little added energy. Young folks on their first
fishing trips are a joy to watch even as they get a little added
'fishing off the dock' time. One father's observation is that as
his boys grew into their teen years and began to make their way
through life, the time with dad and the tradition of coming to the
Lodge is of paramount importance and brings them right back. As
John has fished with his father several times at our Lodge, he is
the perfect person to write on this subject from a very personal
and firsthand experience." --Larry McQuarrie (Captain Mac), owner
of Sportsman's Cove Lodge
