Perhaps Shawn will jump in and list some places it's available.

The book is still in pre-release. As such, I've only made a special version with higher grade paper and 21 color pictures available to friends and those I know via the internet. (There are a few left and the link is on my website.) Three first-class local tackle shops contacted me about carrying the pre-release version and agreed to sell them even though they aren't making much money on them. They are AllTackle in Annapolis, Tochterman's in Baltimore, and Marty's in Edgewater. As far as I know, all still have a few left.

Next week I will start contacting other booksellers and baitshops to see if they want to carry the official release version which is almost exactly the same except it contains high resolution grayscale images. I hope to get to some of the flea marks and shows too, but they also hit during my prime fishing season, so it's iffy.

Thanks for the comments.

Mike, thanks very much.

I tried not to be preachy in the book, but I don't know a single good fishermen who doesn't care about preserving our sport.

Not sure if you have kids or not but I can tell you this, some of my best memories of my dad were our times out on the Bay fishing and crabbing...The least I can do for my kids is to make sure I don't screw it up any worse than it already is...

Regardless, Shawn's book is well written and full of good tips and tricks, its not a technical manual, so it reads very well...

Stop by one of the local tackle shops that are carrying the book and check out a few pages...I think you will like it and pick up a copy.

Chesapeake rock - Shawn's book is a good read. Lots of good stories , tips , etc. for LTJ - you know the guys who can not figure out trolling

I did not find any hidden agenda - the catch / release stuff is part of the game.

Shawn - Ever consider looking into a digital version?

I'm a KISS kind of guy myself (Keep It Simple, Stupid) but I've really fallen in love with reading digital books lately. They're so much easier to manage and since I always have my tablet with me, I can always carry my library with me.

Yes, I'm working toward the release of a digital version in April. Thanks!

You can't get your digital version signed.

Glad I got the hardcopy.

I'm not a very good collector of anything. If it aint practical, I can't have it.

I look forward to picking it up myself. While my wife is into her nook, I will get myself a printed copy.
