Bob Gonzalez’s writing style is both vivid and evocative, painting vivid pictures of life on the high seas. But beyond the adrenaline-fueled action, there’s a deeper appreciation for the ocean and its inhabitants. I think this was a cool touch, I picked up the book out of curiosity and ended up learning some things too. Through Bob’s eyes, we not only learn about the thrill of the chase but also gain a newfound respect for the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.
A Flicker in the Water is a celebration of adventure, friendship, and the timeless allure of the sea. I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in these things, it really comes through. Fun and educational.
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.
