I do remember the post about the winter meetings at the pub sipping blueberry elixer, but I didn't recall anything about any book. Either way it was great to read about the guys here. I must say my first experience with successful cow hunters was watching Jersey guys walk up from the surf on Monomoy at night with 40 and 50 pounders slung over their shoulders in the ealry seventies. They all drove brand new Jeep wagoneers and had ten to fifteen contentional rods and reels on top of the wagons. I assumed the vehicles were all new because they were quite successful in their fishing endeavours. They all hung out in North Eastham at a tackle shop owned by a retired New York cop. The shop was on the left just before you entered Wellfleet. I also just finished reading "Reading The Water" by Bob Post. It is truly an inspirational book. It was written about the 84 and 85 seasons over the Vineyard when I had my first place finish in the shore bluefish division. My fish pushed Janet Messineo out of third place and off the board. I always felt bad about that until I rear Post's book and saw how many big fish in other categories Janet caught that year.

Watch out for the dune monsters!
