Jump in the boat with Cap'n Ted Peck and share adventures and stories with this veteran fishing guide on the immortal Mississippi River. This book follows Cap'n Ted's experiences from childhood on Pool 13 where he would "river rat" for days at a time before he was old enough to drive to modern times and often humorous outings with clients and cronies on Pool 9 about 170 miles upstream. In these pages Peck shares River wisdom, environmental concerns and fishing tips from a perspective of six decades on this enigmatic artery of America's heartland.
