My 20 yrs. as a Surf Caster,,,,even though alot of codders don't like Franky D for coming out with it .. I like the whole book but especially the begining . When they use to be able to drive 75 miles on the beach and there were no rules how long you could stay on . Then the raising the family, on the beach, all the kids chipping in, helping make a living fishing . They had so much freedom back then ,,,like America or something .. To me the book has a Last Frontier feel . Family feel . I'll have to re-read it .. Remember at the time, everyone pissed Frank gave away too much .. Now with the intterrnet the point is kinda mute..

There's my quote of the month!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Thomas Paine

The best fishing books teach us about respect. And they do this by teaching us how to fish. The very best fishing books are about place and about character and less about the knots that we use to connect mono to braid.

would someone be willing to read me a couple of these books . I cant read ! never learned to properly read words silently . I seem to have to yell out each word just to get through one sentence . time consuming to say the least . Im going to go back to remedial reading soon .

I have had bobby post "reading the water" and nick karas " striped bass " read to me by my kids but my kids give me a rough time cause they think Im stupid cause I cant read correctly or quietly .
