From the first signs of life in the back bays on an April night, to the year’s last push of big stripers along the ocean beaches in early December, A Season on the Edge chronicles a season of surfcasting from the shores of Long Island. The season is woven together from a collection of stories culled from the author’s logs and told in the order of a seasonal progression. These stories draw the reader into the experiences and the atmosphere of each trip, and are told with a level of detail that presents priceless techniques and strategies that can be applied anywhere along the striper coast.
