Thumbs up Reading the Water

I received my copy of reading the water the other day from Joe and it was a great read. I have been trying to get a copy of it for the last 5 years but I was unwilling to pay more than $100 for it. I recommend it to anyone whether or not they have ever fished the Vineyard. It really got me excited for the upcoming season.

How about that section on Roberto Germani (or something like that) he talks about sharks at Deep Hole?????? I fish that spot a lot in the pitch blackness. I'm a little spooked now.

Got the book in the mail on Saturday. Read it cover to cover on the plane this week on a business trip. Very enjoyable and informative read. Thanks for posting.

Thumbs up

Got my much-anticipated copy in the mail yesterday. Like everyone else I was dying to read the book but didn't want to spend $100+. Glad I waited.

Took it with me when I got on the commuter train at 5 a.m. this morning. Normally on the hour-plus ride I nap. I started reading and put the book down reluctantly when I got into the station.

I think I'm going to lose some sleep tonite. MV is a place that haunts me, the only place in the world where I can say I really fished it hard and daydream about doing it over and over. I find myself visualizing the places mentioned in the book - the memories are so vivid - it's like I'm there again.
