<p>In the summer of 1995, lifelong saltwater fisherman Sid Dobrin accepted a job in the Midwest, taking him far away from the saltwater fishing world that had become a substantial part of his life. The two years he spent away from the ocean gave him the necessary perspective to reflect upon the lure of saltwater fishing familiar to anglers of all types and abilities - the taste of the sea's salty spray while casting into the surf at sunrise; the calm, quiet drift of a boat on one's home water; the sudden tug of a battling fish on the end of a line. The result is this beautifully crafted collection of evocative, entertaining, often funny essays on a range of topics guaranteed to appeal to anyone who has ever cast a line into the sea in pursuit of wild gamefish. Dobrin takes the reader through the sometimes tangled role fathers play in the maturing of a young fisherman; the sanctity and security of fishing one's favorite waters; the special relationships between comfortable fishing partners; the pleasures and pitfalls of drinking and fishing; the mysteries of fly fishing; and much more.</p>
