"Secrets Of Surf Fishing at Night" by Doc Muller is a must.

The chapters on eels alone are worth the price alone and there's a lot of other stuff covered that's worth reading again even if you already know it.

Daignault, definitely - love him or hate him - (I happen to like the guy, even in spite of recent...uh...stuff) is also a must read, particularly "Striper Surf".

There's also a lot of stuff out of print, older books, that are worth a read, too, but often hard to find - check out the booksellers at the next sportsmen's show you go to. Jerry Sylvester's "Saltwater Fishing is Easy" comes to mind right away, written by a Rhode Islander about RI in the 50's - in some ways, not much has changed and it might make ya think a little.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
