The book is a wonderful read ( I read this book years ago and The book is a wonderful read ( I read this book years ago and this buy was for a gift) and this review is not about the book's writing at all. When I received the book, I took a look inside of the book and the print is TINY and there is an inch or two around the print as if someone photocopied the contents on the book, shrunk the print so that 8 copies of each page could fit on one 8.5x11 sheet of paper, then wrapped a cover around it.Horrible and probably criminalIncluded in my review is a picture of one of the pages with a . The Guides don't control Mother Nature A Customer I enjoyed the book and the concept, but the fawning treatment of certain guides (that probably gave Kaminisky free rides) read too much like promotional materials.. A wonderfull read A Customer The Moon Pulled Up An Acre Of BassFishing, cooking, and having a good time with your friends at your favorite vacation house, what could get better than that? That's the "good life" described by Peter Kaminsky in his nonfiction novel The Moon Pulled Up An Acre Of Bass.Kaminsky shared his humorous fishing stories in October 2000 throughout the whole book.

"Kaminsky makes flyfishing sound like a form of sanctifying grace, and his writing style is as lyrical and lovely as his sport." --Pat ConroyThe Moon Pulled Up an Acre of Bass is the story of a man's love affair with Montauk in the fall, after the crowds and celebrities have left eastern Long Island. Now in paperback, this is the story of an ocean teeming with life, and the people drawn to it: obsessed anglers, jealous guides, dedicated scientists, and the local people who have lived off the bounty of these waters for generations. But above all it is a story of a man's basic love of people and nature, one that will appeal to the many fans of Kaminsky's "Outdoors" column in the New York Times, his frequent work in Food & Wine, and anyone hungering for fine writing.
Kaminsky (whose cookbook, Elements of Taste, is due out from Little, Brown in October) is neither the first nor the most stylish voice for this fish and this place (the Montauk bass fishery has its own shelf in angling literature, which includes John Cole's Striper and Peter Matthiessen's Men's Lives). After the summer tide of celebrities and vacationers leaves the beaches, local sportfishers form their own society around the parade of southbound migrations. The real prose action is on the shallow flats of Great Peconic Bay and in the jockeying among guide boats and surf casters for prime casting positions for "blitzes" of feeding 40-inch bass. Copyright
