Readers Reviews
Here are some feedback I received via email from those who read The Art of Surfcasting with Lures and The Hunt For Big Stripers books
Hey Zeno,
I picked up your book a couple weeks back and am slowly getting may way through it. I say slowly b/c I keep re-reading sections and making notes for myself. My transition into a plug-aholic started this year and I have learned so much from your book so far and I'm only half way through it. I find myself trying to read currents, waves, wind, depth, cresting water, rips, white foam, etc... all the time now. I believe the conditions of central connecticut shoreline are different than the N or S shores of LI, but none the less; I am trying to incorporate your book to the CT shoreline. Again thanks again for putting together such a great book. Kevin from CT via email
Just wanted to send you a note to let you know how much I enjoyed
your book! I received it as a Christmas present and have read it
three times already. With each read I gain a bit more knowledge. I
now reside in PA but continue to drive up to CT and RI when time
permits to wet the line. (grew up in CT) When I catch my 50 I'll
shoot you a photo. I keep a camera with me at all times while in the
suds! Thanks again for a great book!
Regards, Doug O'Connor
I just wanted to tell you while on vacation in Kittery, Maine this
weekend I picked up a copy of your book at the trading post. I
absolutely love it. It is one of the best books I have ever read and
a lot of the things you do with bucktails I can convert into
fly-fishing. I also love the way you describe the structure and
strategies. If you write another book, I will be first in line to
buy it!

I just finished your book and I can't thank you
enough for deciding to write it. I subscribe to the New Jersey
Angler magazine and I say it featured there. The
knowledge you impart, not to mention your wit, is priceless.
I live in Philly and only get down the shore for vacation and once
or twice more a year if I'm lucky, so your book alone saves me
COUNTLESS hours of trial and error. I've had luck fishing the
inlets but the breakdown and detail you give to everything makes it so
much clearer and easier to adjust to whatever the circumstances
I am up against. I will also try the surf this year with actual
confidence this year. I will recommend this book to anyone who'll
listen and I'm also going to tell the owners of our local tackle
shop (Brinkman's) about it. If they don't already know it. Thanks
again for deciding to share your hard earned knowledge and secrets with
others. This book would help ANYONE who fishes the shore at
all, whether occasionally or all the time. I think it should
be required reading for all the time and aggravation you'd save
people!! Tom Weightman Zeno, I just finished reading your book and it is
awesome. I'm not a "pat on the back" kinda guy, but you
deserve it. Jim Ardito
Zeno,
I have been reading your book The Art of Surfcasting With Lures
and want to let you know directly how much I am enjoying it. As my
family would be only too happy to tell you, I have a considerable
collection of fishing books. Some of them are very good and some
are not, but your book is a real treat to read, as well as
extremely informative. I find myself thinking that I really
should be underlining or highlighting the book's strategies and
lessons -- there are so many good points persuasively made that I
doubt I can remember them all.
Maybe I will underline or highlight the second time I read the
book!
I also appreciate the humor and the anecdotes. This is true
especially since, unlike in some fishing writing, these stories
serve to illustrate as well as entertain: it's not just one story
after another. This is a book which really lives up to its claim to
educate as well as entertain.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Jim Olson
Hi
Zeno..... I was in Scott's Bait/Tackle shop down here in Bradley
Beach, NJ, when a sample "The Art of Surfcasting with Lures"
came in. I browsed through it and immediately couldn't stop
reading it, so I told them they should definitely order some to sell.
I bought one as soon as they got them in and couldn't put the book down
since I got it. I just finished it and had to let you know
it was the BEST surf fishing book I have read. I'm
57 and my neighbor got me into Striper Fishing this summer and I love
it. I read 3 books just prior to yours, but yours was fantastic.
I haven't giving up trying to get that big one even though it's December
and I will be re-reading your book again when the Spring season is upon
us. Your
last chapter fishing with kids was a touching ending too, because I'm a
single full time dad of a 14 yr old daughter and it's great doing things
together. Thanks
again Zeno for a wonderful book!!! Larry
Feinberg Zeno, You
have put into words a lot of things that I have felt true but have not
seen or heard form other sources. The thing I like/respect most of all
about your book, yours in one of the first surf fishing book that tell
the reader how to, through stories, situations, or close friends.
I've only found this kind of book available in saltwater
fly-fishing. I recommend your book to everyone I know. Its
funny, there’s a lot of plugs on the market, but there are not
many books to let the surfcaster know which one may swim or be more
effective in different conditions. There are a lot of guys without
the experience, that will use lets say a Surfster in horrible
conditions. Instead of going to a plug that’s a little more
stable. Unfortunately, they just don't know which one may serve
them best. But you've let them know with your well written book. Peter Mueller, Just wanted to thank you again. Great book and it will be a well used tool. I learned a lot and can't wait to learn more! Chris via email
