Bentrod, I am flattered that your think my blabbering is worth including in your book. Please feel free to use whatever you think may be worthy.

When you publish your guide, I would love to read it.

While you are in a writing mood, you might take a stab at a more advanced guide as well. I mention this because a relative, knowing that I am in to kayak fishing, gave me a book for Xmas this year. It was titled something like the "The Complete Guide to Kayak Fishing". The book was OK but it focused on East Coast and lake fishing and seemed really dated to me even though it was published very recently.

If someone wanted to write a book on kayak fishing as we do it here, it should be really easy. Virtually all the research is already done. Just read the archives from this forum.

Many of the folks who contribute to this forum are very articulate and, of course, extremely knowledgeable. Most share their expertise freely. I suspect that almost everyone would love to contribute to a book that covered coastal kayak fishing from fruit to nuts.

The more I think about it, this is a book that needs to be written. Maybe I should do it. If I did, I would invite contributions from the entire community. I can see it now. The gospel according to Billy V. A lesson from Jim Day, The best from the Darkhorse.

What do you think?
