Why Do Men Go Fishing? is a humorous look at the sport of fishing
and what makes anglers tick. The book itself is divided into three
richly illustrated sections: 1. Traditions. How do anglers become
anglers? What motivates them to do what they do? Are space-aliens
using mind control on them? 2. Vacations. Specifically, fishing
trips. Why do they mostly occur at remote locations with at best,
poor cell phone reception? Exactly what are they up to? They don't
bring home much, except cheap souvenirs and exotic beers. And, how
can they have that much fun without us? 3. Obsessions. They return
from these trips completely changed. They drag us to tackle shops,
Sports, and Boat shows incessantly. They spend hours in their
man-caves working on their tackle, whatever that is. Finally, they
stare off into space, glassy eyed, muttering about the one that got
away, ignoring us completely What is wrong with them? Why Do Men Go
Fishing? also includes three bonfire tales that take place in the
mythical town of Sawmill Lake, Wisconsin during the Roaring
Twenties. Read about the wild adventures of eleven-year-old Tommy
Martin, his family, and friends. Learn why the old hotel is named
for an abandoned prosthetic device, and who the mysterious "Duke"
is. The answers to all of these questions and many more can be
found within the pages of Why Do Men Go Fishing? Read it today
