Synopsis

Why Do Men Go Fishing? is a humorous look at the sport of fishing and what makes anglers tick. The book itself is divided into three richly illustrated sections: 1. Traditions. How do anglers become anglers? What motivates them to do what they do? Are space-aliens using mind control on them? 2. Vacations. Specifically, fishing trips. Why do they mostly occur at remote locations with at best, poor cell phone reception? Exactly what are they up to? They don't bring home much, except cheap souvenirs and exotic beers. And, how can they have that much fun without us? 3. Obsessions. They return from these trips completely changed. They drag us to tackle shops, Sports, and Boat shows incessantly. They spend hours in their man-caves working on their tackle, whatever that is. Finally, they stare off into space, glassy eyed, muttering about the one that got away, ignoring us completely! What is wrong with them? Why Do Men Go Fishing? also includes three bonfire tales that take place in the mythical town of Sawmill Lake, Wisconsin during the Roaring Twenties. Read about the wild adventures of eleven-year-old Tommy Martin, his family, and friends. Learn why the old hotel is named for an abandoned prosthetic device, and who the mysterious "Duke" is. The answers to all of these questions and many more can be found within the pages of Why Do Men Go Fishing? Read it today!
