I have somewhere's around 20 surfcasting books.
The Art of Surfcasting with Lures is the best.
I can tell that you love to fish.
Thanks for writing it.
I kinda wish you left in a few more Zenoisms.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned John Cole. He has several great fishing books, and I would recommend "Fishing Came First" as a starting point. These aren't how-to books but they are a great read.

John Skinner is a Surf editor of Noreast Saltwater magazine and very highly regarded angler in NY.The stories takes you from the time fish shows up ,to big bas in the inlets in spring ,his first 50 , LI sound fishing in summer thru fall run and finally to end during herring run.There is a huge mako boat story and kayak trip in there too.Irrelevant to surf but extremely interesting.All ,in all ,a good winter read

Zeno
BTW if you are into reading something good with a LI theme read the
Al Reinfelder chapter in George Reiger's Profiles in Saltwater Angling.
Excellent.
Also BTW: Congrats on all the positive feedback on your book. It is on my list.
