Seller's Description:
Very Good. Inscribed "With best wishes" Roy Rowan. Signed copies rarely offered. The author's evocations of fishing the turbulent seas surrounding Block Island. Describes not only the habits of blues, stripers, bonito, and other gamefish, but also how to trick them into striking at pieces of wood, plastic, and metal flung out from the shore. This is a book about courage, contemplation, solitude, the appreciation of nature, and more. "Surfcasters are a benign sect made up of a dedicated band of men and some women who seek their salvation on the beaches of the Atlantic and Pacific. Their organ music is the crashing of waves and the rhythm of the tides. In this book Roy Rowan qualifies to be their John the Baptist, preaching the virtues of solitude, patience, and the soul-solacing strike of the striped bass. Rowan's church is Block Island, a fish-blessed tract a few miles off the Rhode Island coast. With charm, humor, and a trove of useful information he threatens to make converts of all who read Surfcaster's Quest, this dedicated trout fisherman among them."-Robert Manning, Former Editor in Chief, Atlantic Monthly.
