Casagrande Press is seeking fishing misadventure stories, articles, and essays for publication in the forthcoming book Fishing's Greatest Misadventures. They are looking for nonfiction fishing stories about bad judgment calls, pranks, comical/ironic episodes, disaster, attacking fish or other animals, bizarre injuries, misfortune, injury, loss of wit or limb, panic, critical conditions, contest meltdowns, rough weather, everyday fears, fishing trips gone wrong, engine failure and lost at sea episodes, etc. They are looking for stories that tell a good tale, develop the depth of the characters involved, and have a tight narrative tension.

About the book:
Fishing's Greatest Misadventures, to be published in 2008, will present 30 true stories which cover the spectrum from terrifying to comical to downright bizarre. In these pages both everyday fishermen and pros tell their stories of freak or catastrophic accidents, fish attacks, sabotage, pranks, getting lost at sea, idiotic decisions, eerie or unexplained incidents and other jaw dropping calamities. These stories bring to life the strange possibilities that await us once we cast our lines.

A note about the type of fishing stories the press is taking:
The editors will accept stories about all types of rod-and-reel fishing including ocean, river, stream, lake and ice fishing. And fishing from boats, piers, shores, bridges and anywhere else from where you can cast a line. The editors will also accept stories about spear fishing, noodling (fishing with your bare hands), sport fishing, tournament fishing, and commercial fishing (where the story involves hooks and lines but not nets and traps).

Casagrande Press will not accept stories about dynamite fishing, cyanide fishing, whaling, dolphin hunting or other forms of sea mammal hunting. Open to fishing enthusiasts and writers of all levels.
