John relates his adventures with an outrageous cast of friends as they careen across America on fishing expeditions. John teams up with a new girlfriend, Barsey, and Henry, a bonefish guide, one of the original Keys oldtimers who resents the intrusion of more people and buildings. Barsey, a redhead who meets John at the local pub, joins up with him on a fishing trip in the lead story, "Wasted Away on the Gulf." From "They're All Crazy in Dillon" to "Coulee Hats and Bare Feet in the North Woods," each of these stories is filled with fun, fishing, and the odd beer. Holt is the sporting writers' Hunter Thompson and one of our premier writers.
