Fishing the Edge: Techniques and Tales from Surf, Boat, and Kayak

Fishing writer and videographer, John Skinner, takes the reader along on a multi-species pursuit from tranquil back bays, to pounding surf, to deep water structure as he shares what hes learned in over fifty years of inshore fishing from surf, boat, and kayak. Skinners writing style will make you feel as if youre fishing with him as he targets striped bass, summer flounder (fluke), false albacore, blackfish, sea trout, redfish, sea bass, and more. While the books focus is on techniques and strategies to help anglers put more fish on the end of the line, the details are often woven into heart-pounding accounts of special catches and fishing experiences. The book is enhanced by embedded QR codes that link to videos supporting the fishing techniques.
