Fishing was Matt Reinemo's top priority. Then, in quick succession,
he fell in love with a non-fishing woman, got married, and became a
father. Now along with his tackle box, he juggles a diaper bag. In
Compass of My Soul, Reinemo searches for striped bass and peace of
mind on the flats of his beloved Nantucket Island, suffers through
luxury during a fishless weekend at a bed and breakfast, chases
marlin offshore, and fights a losing battle to control the size and
scope of a birthday party at home. Through remembrances of his own
upbringing in things piscatorial, fishing adventures in Florida,
the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Costa Rica, and having observed
countless fathers fish with sons in his years as a guide, Reinemo
considers what it means to be a good fishing father, and somewhere
along the way, a great dad. Here is what some of the biggest names
in angling have to say about Compass of My Soul: "It would be a
travesty if Compass of My Soul were considered a fishing book Its
pages are filled to brimming with OUR lives, seen through Matt
Reinemo's eyes, then compared to his own, and finally, penned in a
style that keeps you turning page after page. I judge a well
written book by how many times I find myself wishing 'I could have
said that'..... I quit counting Keep 'em coming Matt," - Flip
Pallot, Television Icon, Author, Legendary Angler "Superb A joyous
romp through the tides of life and passions every fisherperson on
earth will connect with in the first chapter. From there it only
gets better as reality, love, family and age shape the course of
Reinemo's life. A rare insight into the psyche that makes a soul
endure a winter on a sand bar 30 miles off the New England coast
with constant 30-60 knot winds and sub zero temperatures - and
think they have won the geographical lottery. Every angler, parent,
fisherman and fisherwoman will relish the connection of fish, and
the aquatic outdoors. Reinemo rekindled this old man's thirst for
the ocean of life that surrounds us all." - Spider Andresen,
Publisher, Saltwater Sportsman Magazine, retired. Fleet Captain,
Margaritaville Marine.
"Reinemo's Fishing Nantucket is the definitive journal on fishing
the Island. He covers every aspect of the sport from where, when,
how, with what - species by species and month by month. The
priceless information is dead on and extends far beyond the shores
of Nantucket and even New England. Laced with fun fishing 'tails',
this will become a fishing 'how-to' classic that every angler will
need for his library." - Spider Andresen, Publisher, Salt Water
