This is a very inspiring book.
After having read this book, you must find yourself much more closer to the essence of this fishing than you expected. This book reminds me of the words of Mr Hideyuki Kitamura( the most respected and influential saltwater angler in Japan ). " In fising the star role is played not by the angler, but by the fish he targets. "
These words directly brings me to the importance
of determination, readiness and willingness to hunt for the big fishes when they move into the shallow waters. This is the common thread reiterated in the book. This is exactly central to the mentality indispensable for this specific activity. The author Zeno Hromin says his opinion about the presence of big fish in the surf at any given time has changed dramatically over the last few years. If this comment doesn't in the least intrigue you now, I assure you this book is not for you, and neither is this obsessive sport.

This 2nd book published by the hardest working surf caster around departs from the generalities of "Art of..." and draws together techiniques specific to the quest for large with a collection of individual chapters written by a truly elite group of fishermen.

This book is valuable reading wheather or not you target large Stripers. I found myself in conditions (that Zeno outlines that favor large fish) that I would never have been aware of. I came away with about a dozen notes that are now part of my fishing style. He shares info that would take a lifetime of Striper fishing learn.
