I went through a rejection process no man should go through. It was suggested to me to add clams, white buckets and beach buggy sections to make it more "selable"....oh year ,and don't make it too lure specific, you might leave a potential buyer out of the mix.
Screw them all...you got to write what it important to you...and nothing else. Regardless of what you write you will incur the wrath of few but you'll get a lot more "thanks for writing it honestly" emails.
You don't need to write about stuff you don't want to. If anything, if you are just writing it to "add" content and make it more attractive to broader audience, but your heart is not in it, people will see right through it. Stay the course and let your passion for an event or a place tell you what you want to share. Lord knows we could use a good read.
Screw the publishers too and do it yourself... much more rewarding to be in control of your own destiny. What is a publisher of fishing books actually do for you ? Book you on Oprah? I don't think so. My offer still stands to help you in any way I can, Heck, you can have my printer,designer and graphic artist. I don't need them any more
Whatever you do, I am certainly looking forward to what it should be a fantastic read
