When I first started fishing for stripers I read his books. His book on various locations was very helpful; gave me great intel on where to go and what to use. He was in on the great premoratorium fishing in the 60s and early 70s; wrote great stories about it.
"Out there in the surf is where it's at, that's where the line gets drawn in the sand between those who talk fishing and those who live it."
