Product Information

"Recommended for the fisherman who is wearied by this brutal winter. I've read and owned plenty of coffee table photography books about fishing. Most tend to concentrate on a species, like trout or Atlantic salmon or even bonefish. But I've never come across a fishing book like this One that concentrates on inshore fishing, from places like Montauk to places like the Bahamas. Anderson's photos within are amazing, especially the cover shot, which will take your breath away. Rosenbauer's prose nicely fills the space between the shots. What I found particularly cool about this book was the photos and descriptions of various haunts in the northeastern salt, a geographical area that's been under-represented in past books about fishing." "Forbes Magazine" "Seasoned editorial and advertising photographer Andy Anderson's new book "Salt" explores America's most amazing saltwater fishing spots. Each section has an accompanying essay by Tom Rosenbauer..." "Photo District News" "Andy Anderson has written an autobiography in pictures, a life on the water. "Salt" is an eloquent modern paean to the strength and beauty of the coastal waters he cares for at a time when that environment is in danger of disappearing." Guy de la Valdene "If you want to understand the passion for fishing on the edge of the ocean, or if you already have that passion but want to know why you feel it so intensely, then "Salt" is the book for you."

Capturing the sport's hard-won pleasures on film requires still another helping of each, which is why Andy Anderson, a T&C contributor and lifelong fisherman himself, was able to produce such a magnificent book on the subject. "Salt"distills the work of 20 years, during which Anderson has logged a lot of miles (and reeled in a few trophies), from the Berry Islands t
