I borrowed a copy from Numbskull. Though I will admit he does catch some nice fish and may be a bit jealous that in NY they seem to have a abundance of larger (20-40 lb) fish, I got bored with it half way through and struggled  to finish it. 
I guess I was hoping for something different more like Dibennidetos (spelling?) book which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Guess it's just me.  |
Why even try.........

I enjoyed it very much and found it very informative without trying to be directly a how-to manuel.

Of the "About" fishing as opposed to "How To" fish, I liked Dibennedettos was OK but I liked this one more. Really liked Leo Orsi's Striper Chronicles - among my favorites in the "about fishing" category... |

John Skinner is the surf fishing editor of Noreast Saltwater. I haven't seen the book yet but I would be fairly certain that it's based on surfcasting. John's a good fisherman and a heck of a nice guy. |
