Sue Daignault, known to her friends and readers as Sue, was practically raised with a fishing rod in hand. Almost from birth, she spent entire summers with her family surfcasting for striped bass along the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

That passion stayed with her through her years in the Coast Guard and after she settled on the coast of Maine, and it carried her to fishing grounds around the world. In this book, she traces how her love of angling grew into a consuming drive to chase bonefish, tarpon, bass, and stripers wherever and whenever she could.

Her stories move through both triumphs and setbacks, and they are also about the friendships she made along the way. Running through all of them is a deep affection for the world's waters and a real respect for the fish that live in them.
