What ever you do, Dennis I hope the photo of you and Zeke holding up the 50's is the cover shot...
It's a great picture - even if Uncle Zeke had the puffy hair thing going on...
Hair - yeah, I remember that
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
Dennis- my favorite book is Robert Post's Reading the Water. It is not a how-to book and the famous Vineyard surfcasters were revealed as great personalities- the passion- the Derby-the lives. He makes you feel part of a brotherhood of casters. It was written during the moratorium and since they thought the stripers were going to be gone for a long time- they opened up a little on some techniques and spots.
So my advice is to portray the Island, the men and the passion for the sport in some way and you can't go wrong.
