Ilike the book. As a fisherman I can relate to it. I am still at it in AK after 40 plus years.

I thought the book would have more in detail of how they trolled. It was very generic. I was dissapointed.

i fished out of bodega bay around the same time. we usually spent the last part of salmon season and the first part of albacore season working out of noyo. it was a special time and a special place which he captures beautifully---i bought several copies to pass out among my friends

Great book...full of adventure! Jeanne Duncan is an excellent writer who succeeds in capturing the essence of the characters and the life of a fisherman, with all its ups and downs. I live on the Mendocino Coast and was fully engaged throughout. It's also very informative with respect to the impact technology has had on the fishing industry and the adjustments necessary to continue making a living.

I was Rv'ing on Bodega Bay, watching the fishing boats go in and out of port ... spurring a desire to learn more about fishing in the area and navigating the Pacific. Imagine my surprise and delight finding this book on my Kindle. I read it straight through only putting it down occasionally to watch the boats traveling up and down the channel. This book is very well written, informative and renewed my respect for the hardworking men who make their living at sea.

...So, you go to a restaurant, the grocery or "Buzz's Crab Stand" & order seafood. Easy to do. This book tells the story of just how difficult it is to give you that opportunity. It is a "take me with you" type of story & the author is good enough to make you feel you are really there. The stories are true, exciting, dangerously so & it is a hard life. "Fishermen tend to be quiet about what happens out there, & when a friend or ship goes under they will generally tell you about it in ten words or less." This book held my attention from beginning to end. The author & her brother can be proud of their work.

Jeanne Duncan has given us a great story about a young man who becomes a fisherman - but that is just the begining. The terrors and good times of his life at sea comes through in this charming at times true life tale.

The author's narrative style draws us a very visual image of the life for these fisherman. It is well written and makes for an easy and entertaining reading experiecne. You will come away with a real appreciation for the life styles of those who go off to sea to earn their living.
