Additional chapters cover baitfish profiles, fishing strategies and what goes into a surfcaster’s decision making process when selecting a lure and presenting it to structure. This book leaves no stone unturned. In more detail then ever before found in one publication, veteran surfcaster Zeno Hromin covers every type of situation surfcasters might find themselves in and presents the best strategies to succeed. In the second half of the book each of today’s most popular lures is discussed in detail with tips on colors, sizes, retrieves and on modifications to increase their effectiveness. Toward the end of the book you will find chapters on conservation and fishing with kids, two things the author holds in high regard. All throughout the book there are personal stories of Zeno's experiences in the surf with colorful tales of success and failure all which will hopefully enlighten, entertain and educate you.

REVIEWS:
Steve McKenna -Rhode Island Surf Master
The Art of Surfcasting with Lures by Zeno Hromin is a great read for both the novice and veteran surf striped bass fisherman. It will no doubt quickly become a staple guide for those two groups of fishermen.
Peter Graeber -Saltwater Edge , Newport ,RI
Zeno has written a book that will appeal to all surfcasters, from novice anglers to the saltiest veterans. The content of this book is written so that a new surfcaster can take years off the learning curve while still making experienced surfcasters think about how they approach their own waters.
Al Bentsen, legendary New York surfcaster
"There is information between these two covers that can replace many years of trial and error that I had to endure. This book will give the new angler a giant step forward in the learning process to becoming a successful fisherman. Even older anglers can learn a few things that they don't know. Zeno goes into the how, why, where and when to catch stripers from the surf. His tips on the purchase of lures, clothing and tackle are not only a money saver but will avoid the disappointment that inferior items can cause at the most inopportune time. When I started surf fishing in the mid 1940's there weren't any books, magazines or an internet that contained the hows and whys of striper fishing. I had to learn most of what I now know by trial and error. It was the dawn of surf fishing as we know it today. I just wish I had a book like this to read and guide me. Zeno has given the surf angler a modern surf fishing bible of how-to."
Fred Golofaro, Senior Editor – The Fisherman Magazine
“An amazingly thorough treatise on every aspect of fishing plugs in the surf, with valuable insights on equipment, tides, weather and structure. A must read for veteran and novice casters alike, by someone who has clearly earned the status of a hard core regular.”
