  • Can't let Yak Fish have all the fun

    Yak Fish (Alan) recently published an excellent book on trolling from a kayak. I too have thought about publishing a how-to fishing book, but don't feel that I have enough new content that has not already been provided on internet boards or that is sufficiently different from what has been published by other more qualified angler-authors. However, I do have a lot of content in a totally unrelated area. For more than 20 years, I have traveled extensively in the U.S. and around the world for work and to speak at conferences or give lectures on energy/water topics. During that time, I have had many unusual experiences and have met lots of interesting people.

    I decided to write a book about those experiences - "Adventures on the Lecture Tour". It is available immediately at https://www.createspace.com/4906623. Within a few days, it will be available on Amazon and Kindle (e-version). The book includes no sex, violence, or fishing reports (sorry, but I left my stories and numerous photos from Ipanema Beach in Rio out of this edition). However, it does describe many tasty fish meals I had in out-of-the way places. The author photo on the inside of the rear cover shows me holding a striper caught in the Severn in my Slayer Propel -- that is the closest to kayak fishing I get in the book.

    John, congrats on your book wish you all the best and much success with it. FYI i did just purchase it and when we meet on the water I'm expecting a verbal account of the missing chapter or chapters of your experiences in Ipanema and Rio... just to fill the time between fish mind you... Congrats again looking forward to the read!! Phil

      I was fortunate to get some advance info that John was going to do this. When we were out he'd told a few stories that are in the book and so I'll be sure to buy one to hear more stories. Congrats John. I'll be proud to have it on my shelf.

          John, I just placed my order for your book! I had it sitting in my cart for awhile. Cart hit critical mass so I hit the purchase button. Looking forward to it.

              Thanks for your interest folks. I can sign the book for anyone who has bought a copy. Upon request, I can bring a few copies with me to the CBKA tournament cookout and awards ceremony.

                  Congratulations on your literary achievement John.

                  What a distinguished group we are – authors, chefs, etc…Snaggedline is almost like watching The Outdoor Channel with a little bit of PBS mixed in.

                  I wish you high Amazon ratings and many sales.
