Zeno, To follow up our phone call, this new book is without a doubt the best technical surf striped bass book that Ive ever read and I am so proud to be a part of it. Anyone, either novice or sharpie , will get alot of very useful information on catching stripers in the surf from this book. Also, it is a great follow-up to the first book. Armed with info from both, I can't understand why all of the readers won't do better in the surf in 2009! Congrats!!!!!!. PS- Who's the surf fisherman on the cover? PPS, It's so nice to see that the rigged eel and eel skin got there " just desserts " in the new book. I have been telling people for years to use them. They may take a little time and effort but as you know, well woth it.

From a seasoned surfcasters perspective I found it much more interesting that the first book.The first book was good for those who needed it.Don't get me wrong.And to be honest there's not much in the new book I did not know.But hearing it from other peers is a nice touch.I find myself wanting to compete with them to do as well.In that aspect I found it inspirational.I have not found that in a book since I have read Striper Surf. I have since found out that author was Not a good Person and the light has dimned for me on that book.Zeno is one of the good guys.I can't help but have a great feeling for him and his accomplishments in writing and now Photography..
Your Grandfather should be proud Z, you have done well.
Like Andy Lemar, You will be remembered not for your accomplishments, but for what you have brought to our community.Helping others by sharing.It can be hard to do.
You have found it so easy and many are luck for it..

NIB, OTW called me for pics of us because you are such a lousy photographer. While you can call yourself a peer in the fishing dept,you have a long way to go when it comes to pictures.
How is the fishing down your way? If I come down I will bring goodies from P I T S.

Too late, my wife hung it over the bed for inspiration.
ZENO, do you just point and click or do you actually have a clue when it comes to manual settings like f stop and iso?

The key to great pictures is composition.......it can be taught but if you have a natural ability for it, as Zeno does, your pictures will be standout! With digital photography these days it makes it alot easier to take a bad pic and instantly crop it and adjust the lighting! 
Hmmmm....naked pictures huh? Curious about that fishing trip??  |

Depends on situation
If i shoot a shot like this ,where I carry a tripod on a moss covered rocks and try to get a certain "look" ,for example ,freezing the water with a long shutter speed, then I'll play with a camera. I almost never change iso thou. Shutter and aperture is all I usually find necessary although i do wish my camera has an bracket exposure so i can shot three shots in different light at once.
