Good time for a shameless plug....
Try The Call Of The Surf from SRI Press....
The second edition of the first book about surfcasting, most of which takes place along the Jersey shore, when it was so remote and wild you had to bring a tent....$15.99 - free shipping from the dedicated site I made for it, or get it at SRI Books & Videos page
NO SHAME THERE JOE, YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THAT BOOK'S REPRINTING. IT SHOULD BE IN EVERYONES COLLECTION!
The call of the Surf, Zeno's great book (which I will certainly be re-reading before April) and Striper Moon have been doing sterling service at keeping the (lack of) winter stripers and blues at bay......
All three have been very enjoyable reading.
"When you stare into the abyss....wink. It'll confuse the hell out of it."
Although all of the stories are rooted in Nova Scotia, Alistair MacLeod's book "Island" is not a surfcasting book, and yet it tells fanstastic stories about the men of the fishing and mining communities of Cape Breton.
Its beautifully written. I can't recommend it more highly. I think it would strike a chord with just about everyone on this board, and it is perfect for the winter's musings.

An interesting choice, as I am in NS and go to CB every year. I will try to check it out. BTW The NS record bass is from CB, 50+lbs.
