“Pat Murray is my favorite fishing writer. This book brings my appreciation of his writing to a new level because we get to see the man who passionately loves fishing and who even more passionately loves conserving fish and their habitat in his element. This book will not only give you deep insight into catching specks and reds, it will inspire you truly appreciate the God-given gift that is coastal fishing.”- Chester Moore, wildlife journalist and editor in chief, Texas Fish & Game“If you want to catch more fish out of the Gulf, proceed to checkout right now.  Murray’s simple yet cerebral conversation delicately balances focused details with broad concepts that make you want to set the book down and proceed immediately to the boat ramp, but you can’t because the writing is so damn good.  Witty, insightful, experience-driven and somehow loaded with fresh new perspectives on one of mankind’s oldest pursuits, this book is the ¼ oz. gold spoon of fishing literature.”- Jesse Griffiths, author of Afield, A Chef's Guide to Preparing & Cooking Wild Game & Fish“Pat Murray’s latest book is an articulate and ordered brain dump that will have any avid saltwater angler nodding in agreement. A pleasant and easy read that is a combination of how to and what to do with a valuable dose of conservation philosophy thrown in for good measure.”- Larry McKinney, senior executive director, Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies
