The name of Jerry Silvester's book is "Saltwater Fishing Is Easy" - it's a pretty good winter read.
I'm about halfway thru OTR, borrowed DZ's copy and I'm finding it pretty enjoyable, sort of like Easy Rider with bass instead of bikes.
"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.
