# "Ever since I began fishing at different places along the Atlantic coast, I have been besieged with letters and enquiries from people all over the world - all asking me the same questions: "'If I go to such-and-such a place, how should I go about it? What is the time of year to arrive? What fish can I expect to catch? Where do I find the boat and guide? But, above all, what tackle do I need and what are the accomodations?" So it is with this thought in mind that I have written this book, and believe me when I say that if it helps in any little way to enable either the novice or the experienced fisherman ...I shall feel more than repaid for my trouble."
