Another great book from Linda. More of a personal book. She talks about some of her close old time fishing friends and those great mythical and not so mythical stories fishermen tell each other after a few drinks.

This was disappointing. I enjoyed Linda Greenlaw's other books much more. It does have a summer feel and is a light read..kind of like overhearing fishing stories at your local watering hole.

Fun and interesting. I actually got a little lost in the details of boat jargon here and there, but the stories and her dry sense of humor are what come through and are most enjoyable.
