Originally titled, Fishing Beyond the Basics, I wrote Saltwater Stories to share what I have learned as both angler and charter captain during 40 years of saltwater fishing. Not the simple things like tying a knot or setting the drag on reel, but the little details that no one ever tells you about. “Every day is different,” is one of the most common phrases in the fishing industry, because it’s true. Like a puzzle that keeps changing, the challenge of each new day is finding the answer that connects you with the fish.

A thousand books tell how to cast a lure, what equipment to buy and where the best spots are but few of them show you how to think when you’re on the water. It is the normally overlooked details that are the difference between fishing and catching. Sounds, smells and the courage to follow your own instincts are a few of the topics illustrated by short story.

Saltwater Stories is a 30000-word compilation of fishing stories organized into 23 chapters that give the reader a new perspective on angling. Recalled from a lifetime of fishing, it puts readers in the boat, on the beach and into the mind of a professional charter captain. From the chaos of a blitz to the quiet calm of an empty beach, there are environmental clues that are there to be seen – if you look for them.
