A Flicker in the Water: Inside the Tales is an oceanic journey into the heart of deep-sea fishing, narrated by Bob Gonzalez. The ocean is a mysterious thing, so much of it undiscovered. I found myself completely engrossed in Bob’s tales of adventure and discovery. From the excitement of reeling in a massive swordfish to the quiet moments of contemplation beneath the starry night sky, this book speaks to the profound connection between man and the sea.
I loved this book. It piqued my interest from the start and I’m glad I picked it up. Bob Gonzalez has a way of writing that makes you happy to kick back and enjoy the read for the rest of your afternoon. I’d highly recommend it!
A Flicker in the Water: Inside the Tales
If you’re yearning for tales about adventure and fun on the open sea, look no further!
The crew welcomes you aboard the Twister, one of the finest fishing vessels in the Gulf of Mexico, as the 
search is on for the big ones that legends are made of. Blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, swordfish, and more are waiting to be caught, just so long as Bob and his friends have the strength to reel them in.
Told in a fun, engaging style, this book combines elements of drama, heroism, and skill with humor and some educational points about the sea and its inhabitants, with plenty of surprises along the way.
The stories will make you feel like you are out on the water yourself getting ready to land that next great catch you’ll be talking about for the rest of your life. Experienced seamen and land lubbers alike will enjoy this peek into one of the good parts of life with all of its promises and perils.
The use of the word Tales in the subtitle is a play on the word “Tails” that matches the Goliath Grouper on the front cover. When you look into the mouth of the Grouper, we hope you’ll want to look inside this exciting collection of tales.
