What sets this book apart is its authenticity. Bob’s firsthand accounts are filled with detail and genuine passion, the way he illustrates these stories takes the reader into his world with every turn of the page. But beyond the thrill of the hunt, there’s also a deep reverence for the natural world that permeates every story. Bob’s insights into marine life and conservation issues are a serious reminder of the importance of protecting our oceans for future generations.
A Flicker in the Water is more than just a collection of fishing tales because it pays tribute to the beauty and wonder of the sea, and it reminds us of our responsibility to preserve it for years to come. This was an awesome book.
A Flicker in the Water: Inside the Tales
If you’re yearning for tales about adventure and fun on the open sea, look no further!
The crew welcomes you aboard the Twister, one of the finest fishing vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, as the 
search is on for the big ones that legends are made of. Blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, swordfish, and more are waiting to be caught, just so long as Bob and his friends have the strength to reel them in.
Told in a fun, engaging style, this book combines elements of drama, heroism, and skill with humor and some educational points about the sea and its inhabitants, with plenty of surprises along the way.
The stories will make you feel like you are out on the water yourself getting ready to land that next great catch you’ll be talking about for the rest of your life. Experienced seamen and land lubbers alike will enjoy this peek into one of the good parts of life with all of its promises and perils.
The use of the word Tales in the subtitle is a play on the word “Tails” that matches the Goliath Grouper on the front cover. When you look into the mouth of the Grouper, we hope you’ll want to look inside this exciting collection of tales.
