Reel Masters: Chefs Casting About With Timing And Grace features eight celebrated chefs and a foreword by Peter Kaminsky. The book employs a cookbook anthology model, incorporating stories, chef biographies, and recipes to tell the stories of chefs’ sought-after fishing spots or unknown gems. Through the voices and photographs of passionate fishermen, guides, chefs, and guests, the book

 captures the heart and soul of these revered retreats and the memories and traditions that make each so special. This time we are going fishing in the bayous , backwaters, and bays, and along the coastlines of the sporting South, from Toledo Bend, Louisiana, to Richmond, with stops in Venice, Pensacola, Charleston, and other treasured spots.
