Join Jack Montrose, a fish camp regular since 1965, as he
reminisces about the good old days fishing on the St. Johns River.
Tales from a Florida Fish Camp captures the atmosphere and humor of
fish camps, where fishermen gathered to tell tall tales of their
fishing exploits, play practical jokes, and relax over a cold beer.
Here you'll find tales of more than just fish (though the ones
caught were THIS BIG). You'll encounter snakes, gators, cats
(ordinary house ones as well as a panther), turtles, manatees, a
skunk, and lots and lots of bugs, as well as a few
celebrities--including a baseball manager, a general, and an
astronaut. The stars are more often than not the boats, and if the
tale's about an airboat, well, don't expect the teller to have dry
shoes. You're in for huge belly laughs as you read about fish camp
contests, tourists, Yankees, and Flash, the hard-drinking,
snake-chasing, spitz/bull-dog mix who was everyone's best friend.
Practical jokes abound at fish camps: the author even got to be
sheriff for a day when one of his buddies played a joke on him and
some unwitting tourists.
