Twenty Years on the Cape: My Time as a Surfcaster by Frank Daignault

From one of the most respected names in striped bass fishing comes a personal account of two decades spent chasing stripers from the beaches of Cape Cod. Frank Daignault and his family lived their summers on the Cape’s shoreline, fishing at all hours and paying their way by selling striped bass during what many call the golden era of surfcasting.

Part memoir and part fishing education, the book captures the night tides, the long walks with a rod, the rhythm of beach life and the hard-won knowledge that made Daignault a legend among New England surfcasters. Anglers will find practical insight; everyone else will find a vivid portrait of a way of life on the Cape that has largely disappeared.

A must-have for striper fishermen, Cape Cod lovers and anyone who has ever stood in the surf before dawn.
