Download or read book Tales from a Florida Fish Camp written by Jack Montrose and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-10-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Jack Montrose, a fish camp regular since 1965, as he reminisces about the good old days fishing on the St. Johns River. Tales from a Florida Fish Camp captures the atmosphere and humor of fish camps, where fishermen gathered to tell tall tales of their fishing exploits, play practical jokes, and relax over a cold beer. Here you'll find tales of more than just fish (though the ones caught were THIS BIG). You'll encounter snakes, gators, cats (ordinary house ones as well as a panther), turtles, manatees, a skunk, and lots and lots of bugs, as well as a few celebrities—including a baseball manager, a general, and an astronaut. The stars are more often than not the boats, and if the tale's about an airboat, well, don't expect the teller to have dry shoes. You're in for huge belly laughs as you read about fish camp contests, tourists, Yankees, and Flash, the hard-drinking, snake-chasing, spitz/bull-dog mix who was everyones best friend. Practical jokes abound at fish camps: the author even got to be sheriff for a day when one of his buddies played a joke on him and some unwitting tourists.

Book excerpt: Deirdre Callanan's Fish Camp: North Jetty Tales recounts the history of both a streetcar-turned-camp and the colorful characters who frequent it. The North Jetty Fish Camp nestles beside Venice Inlet at the south end of Casey Key, Florida. The building's heart harbors a 100-year-old streetcar, barely recognizable within the additions surrounding it.?This is a book saturated in stories. The streetcar's first 20 years when it ferried passengers hither and yon in Tampa. The plight of all of its ilk when they were decommissioned on August 3, 1946. The ensuing adventure initiated by Bill Hubbard's purchase of the car, its journey to Nokomis, its positioning in 1947 on the spot where it has since resided.?There is the story imbedded in the streetcar itself: what it has endured, witnessed. There are the accompanying stories of those who cherished it, frequented it, who arrived as children and later whose ashes were scattered from its dock.?Necessarily embedded in these stories is my own. I have been part of this community since 1967. The impact of it is interlaced with my life. An inextricable bond has entwined me to it. I, however, am a witness rather than a major character. What I have done to the best of my ability is say what I saw. What I saw changed my life.

Download or read book Mudflats and Fish Camps written by Erin McKittrick and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences of a family that opened its front door to walk 800 miles in the wilderness Alaska holds a mythical place in the American imagination as our wildest, coldest, largest, and farthest frontier. It is also the home of writer Erin McKittrick, who lives in a yurt on the shore of Cook Inlet with her husband and two preschool-age children. Mudflats and Fish Camps chronicles McKittrick’s journey, along with her family, as they set out to hike and paddle the entire coastline of Cook Inlet, a distance of 800 miles. This is unconventional parenting in the extreme, bringing kids not just into the woods, but into quicksand, snow, and the realm of grizzlies! And while their story includes all the stubbornness, excitement, and sleet-in-the-eyes awfulness that comes from walking their way through the world, it also provides an intimate history of a wild and fascinating place and the people who call it home. While many adventure tales spring from the restless quest of someone seeking to find themselves—whether floundering in the possibilities of youth or in the throes of a midlife crisis—McKittrick’s story is about a person who has already found her purpose in life. It’s an adventure that happens right in the author’s backyard, providing her an unusual depth and connection. And it’s not a story of record-breaking speed, hopeless under-preparedness, or a radical transformation of the soul. Instead, it describes the journey of an ordinary family stepping into the wild outside their home. The wonder of the landscape, the exuberant joy of children outdoors, and the magic of exploration make Mudflats and Fish Camps an inspiring tale of choosing to walk—literally—a more adventurous path.

Kockelmans is back with a second installment of amusing stories from his decades of vacationing at a fishing camp in central Maine. In book two, Mr. Kockelmans invites his readers to enjoy twenty-one new short stories about fishing, nature, wildlife, and socializing with friends and family, ranging from when he was a child to just last year. This book is arranged in a slightly different format than the first. Sixteen stories are put together in four categories, called basketfuls, while five slightly longer stories act as anchors between them. In this book, Mr. Kockelmans describes events like the time where he dared his best friend to jump out of a moving boat, he joined friends to look for loons and another time for eagles, when he caught an odd-looking fish, and the time his Aunt Marilyn invited him to her cabin for an overnight stay. For him the most touching story, however, is his personal tribute to campers who are no longer with us.

He fell in love with the black mistress of the warder and discovered too late that to love is not safe; he attempted to keep a record of the strange reality he saw in prison, only to realize that history is not written by those who are ruled. Acclaimed as a masterpiece around the world, Gould’s Book of Fish is at once a marvelously imagined epic of nineteenth-century Australia and a contemporary fable, a tale of horror, and a celebration of love, all transformed by a convict painter into pictures of fish.

But how will he find the words to tell them that he’s gay? A powerful read about family, identity and the enduring magic of stories. “One of the most astounding graphic novels of the year" –Entertainment Weekly Tien and his mother may come from different cultures—she’s an immigrant from Vietnam still struggling with English; he’s been raised in America—but through the fairy tales he checks out from the local library, those differences are erased. But as much as Tien’s mother’s English continues to improve as he reads her tales of love, loss, and travel across distant shores, there’s one conversation that still eludes him—how to come out to her and his father. Is there even a way to explain what he’s going through in Vietnamese? And without a way to reveal his hidden self, how will his parents ever accept him? This beautifully illustrated graphic novel speaks to the complexity of family and how stories can bring us together even when we don’t know the words. “A lyrical masterpiece.” –BuzzFeed
