His exploits with tarpon, trout and redfish are on par with his snook fishing expertise. But it is Moore's knowledge of snook that elevates this guide to legendary status. Moore was the first fishing guide in the nation to guarantee snook catches. As such he has inspired and created a unique industry and transformed lazy snook fishing afternoons into what is today's most popular form of recreation in Florida--the nation's fourth largest state. ... This book will not only tell the story of that transformation--with Moore and snook intricately linked to it--but will share the snook fishing secrets of this master for the first time. ... Other books and articles have touched upon Moore's magic, but this is Captain Scott's book. It has been long in the planning and making. This book will help you catch more snook, trout, redfish, cobia, tarpon, and freshwater gamesters like bass. But, it will also show you just why the snook is such a special fish."--adapted from Introduction.
