Surfcaster's Quest by Roy Rowan
"Anyone who has never battled a bull bass all alone on a beach may not understand the instinctual strand that binds humankind and fish." So begins Surfcaster's Quest, Roy Rowan's evocations of fishing the turbulent seas surrounding Block Island. As this beautifully descriptive book points out, angling enthusiasts have maintained for centuries that fishing is not simply a sport but a religion. The book describes not only the habits of blues, stripers, bonito, and other gamefish, but also how to trick them into striking at pieces of wood, plastic, and metal flung out from the shore. It is about courage, contemplation, solitude, the appreciation of nature - and yes, religion, though not the kind conducted under a church steeple. Interspersed with this thought-provoking mixture of soul-searching and surfcasting are fascinating historical tidbits about Indians, pirates, and rumrunners.| SKU | Unavailable |
