I don't know how many of you are familiar with this person, but he was the expert on night crawl fishing for walleyes. I was trying to find out where I could get some of his books. Any ideas?

Try "In Fisherman mag." possibly?

Think he wrote the book " Nightcrawler Secrets" back in the 70's.

Yes, he did, and I wish I could find my copy. I put it someplace safe and can't remember where that is.

When I used to sell books, was finding his books sometimes on Ebay

Tough to find his books and he wrote quite a few. I did a bit of surfing and came up blank. Currently unavailable everywhere I searched

Is this the guy that took a TV name change?
I hac to ask.

Google "Books by Bill Binkleman" and you will get numerous hits (Amazon, Thrift Books, and others).

I did and all were currently unavailable

That's the problem I'm having. I tried Amazon, ebay, etc. They all list them as unavailable.

I once had a pair of Bill Binkleman fishing sunglasses. Ugliest glasses ever made. Wore them anyway. I needed every edge I could find back then.

The magazine Fishing Facts used to sell his stuff and I bought into it. A little red box filled with tiny hooks and sinkers and worm injector for blowing air into the tail of your worm. Oh I caught walleyes using that stuff but what a P I A. Caught a lot more with red jig and a half of a night crawler. A lot of hard earned money went down the drain with me chasing a better mouse trap.

Sad part is that I had all of his books on nightcrawlers, but can't find them. My wife said she would try to find them. She's pretty good at find things I seem to lose.

Binkleman not only talking about fishing with crawlers, but had some good info on how to catch them and raise them.

Bill Binkleman, or Babe Winkleman?

Bill Binkleman. Babe grew up near my cousin's place by Duelm, MN. When we were kids we fished Stony Brook, the same creek where Babe grew up and mentioned fishing as a kid.
