Description
Book SynopsisThis informative and fun read is a âœhow toâ book that flows with the character and personality of the fishing-obsessed island off the coast of Massachusetts. The focus is on Marthaâs Vineyard but the information, fishing tips, and stories about island characters will sound familiar to anyone who has spent time in a community of fishermen.
Trade ReviewAt last a “how to” Vineyard fishing book that will entertain and instruct novice and veteran anglers alike. Nelson Sigelman does it all in Martha’s Vineyard Fish Tales with his signature humor and voice of experience, covering everything from gamefish to shellfish, from basics to secrets of the pros, even including anecdotes on family and how to stay married (or not) during the Derby. A keeper indeed! -- Kib Bramhall, well-known Martha's Vineyard artist, author, and fisherman
Nelson has a wonderful ability to describe the Vineyard’s outdoor way of life. For years, whether he was describing a Derby fisherman’s attempt to master the fine art of catching a fish or fill a bucket with elusive squid without getting inked, humor and honesty were at the heart of his stories. This book is an enjoyable read and provides a snapshot of this special way of “living the Vineyard.” -- Ed Jerome, longtime president of the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby
