Discover the Magic of Pier FishingCalifornia’s piers are where many people are first exposed to the magical lure of fishing. For some, the magic leads to life-long jobs centering on fish and fishing as scientists, writers, authors, commercial fishermen, and workers in the sportfishing industry. Some simply become life-long anglers. Written by Ken Jones, California’s top Pier Rat, Growin’ Up A Pier Rat tells their story. The book contains more than 130 autobiographies, personal accounts from the West Coast’s most notable Pier Rats, nine stories from outdoor writers, and Ken’s own personal story. Ken’s previous two Pier Fishing In California books became the undisputed go-to books for anglers. This new book completes a circle by discussing the lives of the pier rats themselves.
