Hardback. Life as a fishing guide ain't easy. Just ask Skip, the hilarious character developed by Sandy Rodgers. Num Pages: 232 pages. BIC Classification: 2ABM; FA; WSXF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 236 x 160 x 18. Weight in Grams: 435.
Meet Skip and his wife Shelly, in Bimini Twists. Skip is a fishing guide and lately his life of guiding would-be fishing masters around the flats has been a little less dream-fulfilling then he had anticipated. His clients seem to have a knack for being unable to see fish let alone cast anywhere near them and the jet skiers are very good at coming around just in time to scare the fish. Still, life as a fishing guide has its moments-teaching a child to fly-fish, watching a rookie pull in their first tarpon or the even rarer, permit.

Reviews for Bimini Twists
A spate of new fly-fishing novels has appeared over the past year, and this one deserves the award for best title yet.... There are also plenty of well-described action sequences involving permit, bonefish, and tarpon, most (but not all) on a fly. Rodgers is a high-energy writer.
Steve Raymond, Author of Fly Fishing in Salt Water The insight toward a guide's life will leave you laughing while making mental notes of things not to do the next time you fish with a guide. This book will also give you a better understanding of what a guide goes through each day while on and off the water, which just might be enough to keep some anglers at their "day job" instead of becoming part- or even full-time guides.

Following his dream drew Skip to the work, but given a profession longer on sweat than benefits, why does he continue? Read and find out.
Florida Keys Keynoter
First time novelist, Sandy Rodgers, captures the essence of a Florida Keys' fly guide while he struggles to adapt to challenges Mother Nature and neophyte anglers deal to him day-to-day on the water....Sandy masterfully paints a clear picture of an angler's flaws, diverse personalities, triumphs and miscasts.
Rodney Smith
Coastal Angler Magazine
The writing is uniformly excellent.
