The compass of my soul has always pointed to the ocean....

...the magnetism nowhere stronger than Madaket Harbor in the spring when the stripers cruised the shallow flats.

Matt Reinemo is running a fly giveaway contest to help spread the good word about his book. Compass of My Soul is a great read so pick up a copy and you could also possibly score some of Matt's signature flies.

There once was a fisherman from Nantucket......

Fishing was Matt Reinemo’s top priority. Then, in quick succession, he fell in love with a non-fishing woman, got married, and became a father. Now along with his tackle box, he juggles a diaper bag. In Compass of My Soul, Reinemo searches for striped bass and peace of mind on the flats of his beloved Nantucket Island, suffers through luxury during a fishless weekend at a bed and breakfast, chases marlin offshore, and fights a losing battle to control the size and scope of a birthday party at home. Through remembrances of his own upbringing in things piscatorial, fishing adventures in Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Costa Rica, and having observed countless fathers fish with sons in his years as a guide, Reinemo considers what it means to be a good fishing father, and somewhere along the way, a great dad.

I'm a few chapters into Matt's book and so far it's a really great read.
