Tales Of The Golden Years Of California Ocean Fishing 1900-1950

Tales... chronicles saltwater fishing from Monterey to Mexico during the first half of the century. It contains 258 archival photos, drawings and illustrations portraying forgotten people, piers, boats, barges, tackle and techniques of sport and commercial ocean fishing of Southern California. The book is unique in two respects--first, Tales is the only book of its type published on the subject of historical California ocean fishing; second, the author is a knowledgeable participant of the era and not a researcher attempting to reconstruct the history.
