Page 11 Foreword One golden age in surf fishing is gone. That involved unlimited shore access and countless miles of open beach explored with old Model A trucks rigged for fishing and camping. A new golden age is dawning. It involves piers and bridges specifically designed for fishermen, superior tackle, and sound advice from a dedicated band of knowledgeable outdoor writers. There is magic in the surf that draws back even dedicated blue-water anglers. After all, offshore fishing is a team sport with little sense of individual achievement, except for the skipper. Surf fishing, on the other hand, is very much a matter of solitary success. It's the saltwater equivalent of deer hunting. And just as the best deer hunters get their trophy bucks season after season, the best surf fishermen get their trophy channel bass and stripers year after yearand then release them to make sure they'll be there the following year. Eric Burnley personifies the new golden age. He is familiar with the latest tackle and techniques, yet equally well versed in older time-tested methods. He is an articulate spokesman for shore fishermen's rights and a better angling environment. He is energetic, imaginative, and the late great surf fisherman, Al Reinfelder, would have called him "true hungry." This book is a finenay, necessaryaddition to any serious surf fisherman's library. GEORGE REIGER, AUTHOR OF PROFILES IN SALTWATER ANGLING AND WANDERER ON MY NATIVE SHORE

Page 12 Chapter 1 Why We Fish the Surf

Page 13 All fishermen must be optimistic about their chances of success but none so much as the surf fisherman. His quarry is unrestricted in movement while he must stand his ground on the beach. While freshwater bass or trout anglers know the fish are going to be available whenever they choose to go after them, the surf fisherman may wait months for his fish to show up, only to have a strong storm keep them away from the beach and out of his territory. The advances in fishing technology that have aided the boat fisherman have done little to help the surf caster. He cannot rely on fish finders, radar, or loran to locate productive fishing spots. He must use his own skills and experience to interpret the weather outlook, surf conditions, tide and current direction, and other factors in order to pick a place where he thinks the fish may show up. Unfortunately, the fish do not always interpret these conditions the same way the surf fisherman does and they may decide to show up somewhere else or not at all.
