From the first signs of life in the backwaters of the South Shore on an April night, to the year's last push of big stripers along the ocean beaches in early December, A Season on the Edge chronicles a season of surfcasting from the shores of Long Island. The season is woven together from a collection of stories culled from the author's logs and told in the order of a seasonal progression. These stories draw the reader into the experiences and the atmosphere of each trip, and are told with a level of detail that presents useful techniques and strategies that can be applied anywhere along the striper coast. ---------------------------------------"Just when you thought you have read all of the books there are to read about surf fishing, John Skinner introduces this captivating book.

"Anyone who has never battled a bull bass all alone on a beach may not understand the instinctual strand that binds humankind and fish." So begins Surfcaster's Quest, Roy Rowan's evocations of fishing the turbulent seas surrounding Block Island. As this beautifully descriptive book points out, angling enthusiasts have maintained for centuries that fishing is not simply a sport but a religion. "Therefore," writes Rowan, "surfcasters with their own devout followers comprise a special sect. They may be a less pious bunch than fly fishermen; but they are an adventurous, feeling group of outdoors lovers who are as deeply moved by the sun, moon, and stars as they are by their desire to catch fish in the waves crashing around them."

Surfcaster's Quest 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 yes, religion, though not the kind conducted under a church steeple.

Interspersed with this thought-provoking mixture of soul-searching and surfcasting are fascinating historical tidbits about the Indians, pirates, and rumrunners who once occupied that obscure oceanic speck originally called "Isle of the Little God," Block Island. (53/4 X 81/2, 164 pages).
