Book excerpt: It's more often that the failures rather than the successes stick in the memories of outdoorsmen. Late September can bring some of the best white marlin fishing of the season to Delmarva, but sometimes you catch a batch of pineapples instead. Sometimes poor weather and a rough season can lead to a duck depression, but one good afternoon can turn it around. The relationships built during hunts and fishing trips make up for even the bad days-a broken boat, the loss of a beloved dog and more. Join author and avid outdoorsman C.L. Marshall as he tells the tales of the ups and the downs of outdoor life on the Chesapeake Bay.
