Enjoying Life on the Indian River Lagoon Coast

Capt. Rodney Smith, a longtime Florida east coast fishing guide, publisher of Coastal Angler Magazine and connoisseur of the Indian River Lagoon outdoors, has borrowed from his own personal journal filled with a lifetime of adventure and experiences to share many unique and entertaining stories, lessons and adventures with his readers. With more than 220 pages of tales from North America's greatest lagoon and estuary, as well as eight full-color pages of stunning photography, readers will learn about sea turtles, sharks, manatees, bottlenose dolphins, climate change and sea level rise, conservation, tides, bird watching, beach combing, the Gulf Stream, Indian River Lagoon history and much more.After more than 20 years of writing in my journal and several years of working on this book, I m very proud of the final product. I strongly believe promoting and protecting this national treasure is of the highest level of importance, Smith said.
