Editorial Reviews

"à destined to become a Gulf Coast Classic. (Plugger) à stands as a significant addition to the pittance of published works on fishing the Gulf Coast ... a piece of history that otherwise would be lost."

Houston Chronicle

"à (Plugger) is a mixture of information, reflection, and wisdom à a literary seafood gumbo, a tutorial on salt water fishing with artificial lures, plus everything from safety tips to recipes thrown in."
