The fishing world is crying out for a "how to fish BI" book. The memoir part is fun and adds interest.....but unless you have major literary skill stories alone quickly sound the same. I find it incredibly frustrating to hear story after story about ancient blitzes without some factual information that gives me a realistic hope of being able to fish the same water. Trying to redo Zane Grey would be a mistake. Write about what you know and love, write simply and try to make what you say helpful rather than embellished entertainment and I think you'll find an eager audience.
