The surf fishermen of Martha's Vineyard are the heroes of this
collection. Brought together by a longtime Vineyard fisherman,
these colorful men and women offer advice, insight, and the
inevitable tall tales.
There is Nelson Bryant, about to haul in a fifty-pound striper only
to be cut off by an unseasoned newcomer who casts a plug over his
line. There is Whit Manter, doggedly pursuing the next strike, the
next rush of adrenaline, the next exhilarating struggle far into
the surf and the eerie blackness of the night. And Janet Messineo,
dragging a Derby-winning bluefish across the beach at dawn. Hair
matted, face drawn with fatigue, hands sliced and punctured, she's
the epitome of the sporting woman.
Intense and determined, the surf fishermen face cold, exhaustion,
or a line gone slack at the height of battle. They prowl the
beaches, testing their wits and lures against the sea's bounty . .
. and each other.
While the romance and excitement of the hunt is at the core of
these tales, there is practical information to be gained-about the
subtleties of tide and current, the phase of the moon, the
direction of the wind, the best baits and lures. It's a stirring
testament to one of the most delightful corners of angling, in one
of its richest locales.
