From Sandy Huff:

Too Dead to Die, by Steve Raymond

Steve Raymond, the author of the book reviewed below, turns 91 in June. Getting this book finally published was his long time goal. He actually sent this book to me by mistake when he entered our FOWA yearly contest. Before I passed it on to Kelly, I started reading it...and was immediately caught up in his story.

He's had another mini-stroke, and speaks slowly. So if you call to interview him, be patient.

Too Dead to Die, by Steve Raymond and Mike Pride - a memoir of Bataan and Beyond

It seems incredible to us now. We live in a kind and orderly society.

But to the men who struggled with starvation, disease, and harsh treatment of the Japanese as prisoners of war, there was only one thing that brought them through. “I will survive” was Steve Raymond’s litany for three long years.

All around him American and Philippine POW’s were giving up and dying. Raymond did what he had to do to stay alive. Now this talented story teller has published his riveting story in his book, Too Dead to Die.

He’s almost 91 now. But Raymond still remembers his incarceration on and Japan with vivid detail.

Food was his main concern. Tiny frogs, roots, and rice stolen from bags he was forced to carry supplemented his meager diet. Stick-thin men were desperate for anything edible.

During all this, Raymond kept a journal. It was his prized possession. Written in tiny lines on the backs of can labels and a treasured stolen notebook, Raymond gave it to a friend when he found he would be shipped to Japan as a slave laborer. But his friend’s ship sank. Raymond immediately recreate his notes.

Too Dead to Die is an invaluable view of the rigors of war, experienced by a youth who returned from the war as a changed man. Maps of the Philippines and Japan help the reader visualize Raymond’s forced travels, and sketches by another prisoner of war illustrate the actual scenes.

Steve Raymond spent a carefree youth on the beaches of Anna Maria Island, at the mouth of Tampa Bay. After the war he was a staff writer on the Tampa Tribune, and he and his wife Marie now reside in the tiny town of Lecanto, near Homosassa Springs. Mike Pride, noted military historian and longtime editor of the Concord Monitor newspaper, helped him finally his manuscript into print. For Pride, it was a tribute to his own military father.

Too Dead to Die is available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, or from the author at 3355 W. Susan Lane, Lecanto FL 34461-8260. 209 pages. Plaidswede Publishers, Concord, New Hampshire. Cost is 24.95 & tax (total 26.70) and 3.50 S&H.

Not for publication please: Steve and Marie Raymond can be reached at 352-527-0389.

Steve’s email is SRAYMOND11@tampabay.rr.com.

One Experience, Double stories
Some thoughts on good writing –Twice

by Sandy Huff       


This week I had the privilege of judging two categories for the Georgia Outdoor Writers Association EIC contest. Many of the articles were very good, a few were as dry as toast, and a respectable number were outstanding.

With the authors, I explored a backyard forest, attracted flying squirrels, and dodged a suspicious mama gator. I learned how to defend myself against bear attacks, and where to hitch a ride on a historic railroad car.

Some of these features were short and some multi-page. Some were accompanied by photos and elaborate drawings, while others simply painted their pictures with words.

I realized that the articles that sucked me into the story always had a dynamite lead. Like National Geographic articles, they started with action -- first person action. I shared not only sight, but smell, texture, and the author’s feelings of dread and joy.

I found myself giving marketing advice. “Send this to a backpackers magazine,” I jotted on the list of entries. Or “try a gardener’s magazine.”

Here in FOWA, I've talked to columnists who do a tremendous amount of research, or have a terrific outdoor experience, then write one article and stop. 

But other magazines might like to see that information too. Step back and think about where else your article, rewritten just a bit, could appear.

Did you see a rare bird on a fishing trip? Write it up for your usual markets. Then send a quick query to a birding magazine, such as Bird Watcher’s Digest, or Wild Bird.
 
Some big box publishers put out a dozen magazines, and with a simple change in slant, your article could appear in any one of them.

For instance, check out Earthhope, which publishes titles on backpacking, children’s nature, birding, yoga, gardening, and pop science magazines. Or World Publications, which puts out scuba diving, sailing, fishing, wind surfing, cruising and island living magazines.

A few times I've had editors stick my stories in magazines I didn't even know about. But they paid just the same.

How do you find these editors? Research via the Internet will get you the publishers and editors names. I like Dogpile.com, but Google is OK too. Then offer these editors a story.

Here’s a sample query: “Hi, I write a fishing column for the Florida Podunk Peddlar, and am a member of the Florida Outdoor Writers Association. I've just come back from a terrific adventure with ……., and I think your readers will want to hear about how to have an adventure of their own. Would you like to see 1,200 words, plus digital photos, on spec?” 

With just a bit of research, and a simple rewrite to change the slant of your article, you could be getting more coverage from your outdoor experiences.

And since you'll be writing dynamite leads, and snatching your readers into your adventure with you, you'll be promoting the outdoors while you make money.

What more could you ask?

Bob Epstein Named Ambassador WWP

Jeff Searcy, VP of Wounded Warrior Project has named TOWA Member and past President of Florida Outdoor Writers Association, Bob Epstein as Ambassador to WWP. Org. in January 2007.
 
Epstein learned of the organization through the efforts of Etta Pettijohn at the Kentucky Outdoor Writers Conference last year. Etta has been a tireless supporter and communicator for the WWP and brought them in as Members to the SEOPA Conference in Alabama.
 
Epstein has been active in promoting the efforts and goals of the Wounded Warrior Project, Org.

He, as well as many other writers have been assisting in communicating the needs and projects designed to bringing our veterans back to some degree of normalcy. "We all have an obligation as communicators to get out the message that our young men and women of the Armed Services need our full support, and especially when they are coming home forever changed by their experiences and catastrophic wounds. I am doing this through articles and speeches at service clubs across Tennessee and recently, at Mason Dixon Outdoor Writers Conference in Bedford, Pennsylvania. Please take on this important subject and fully non-profit organization in your writings as well."
 
WWP Outdoors is designed to help our wounded warriors in their rehabilitative efforts to once again join in with their families in the joys and benefits of the great outdoors in spite of their often catastrophic war wounds.
 
The WWP is dedicated to an advocacy of the veterans rights and needs, as well as helping in all areas of the rehabilitative process. Nearly all the donated funds to the WWP are targeted directly to the betterment of each and every Wounded Warrior Member and their families as well.

CORPORATE CORNER

 

From Larry Thornhill:

Marty Stone Talks Springtime Spinnerbait Bass

“Spinnerbaits are great lures to use in the springtime, especially for prespawn bass,” says Marty Stone, successful professional bass angler.

“The perfect place is a weedline, between 3 and 8 feet deep. Cast a heavy, double willow leaf model out parallel to the weeds. Bring it back with a slow roll, not right on the bottom but up a little bit and with a slow and steady retrieve. Make sure it hits the grass from time to time. The bass will kill it!”

His first choice of spinnerbaits for this type of fishing is his own design, the Tournament Force Spinnerbait by Picasso. That design begins with a well-made and realistically painted head that’s oval enough in shape to mimic a baitfish but round enough to pass through heavy weed growth and debris.

The skirt is equally special and equally well made. “I got tired of hand-trimming skirts to keep them from looking like a sock or a parachute as they pulled through the water,” says the BASS touring professional. “I designed this skirt to be different. It flows and ripples on the retrieve and when the bait stops it pulsates like it should.”

Along with the professional head and skirt each weight of spinnerbait comes equipped with its own size hook. This, along with a shorter shank, allows anglers to make a better hookset even on short-strikers or with soft bites. And, if that wasn’t enough, every weight is available in every blade combination and every color.

Marty Stone’s pride in the Tournament Force Spinnerbait is obvious and well-deserved, “This project has been a dream come true for me; it really has. They let me, an angler with 20 years experience, design the bait. There’s no bells or whistles on it. We only did what works and we did it right. Picasso didn’t cut corners anywhere and I give them a lot of credit for that.”

 

Finally, An Alternative To The Carolina Rig

“A jig is a tool to fish on the bottom that looks like a crayfish,” Ken Cook, successful bass angler and long-time touring pro says simply. “I wanted a jig that would get to the bottom quickly and with a head that’ll move through rock and debris easily, without getting hung.” 

But there was more, “I also wanted it to rock back and forth on the bottom with a skirt that looked like crayfish tentacles in the water. At the same time I wanted something with a good hook and a functional weedguard.”

With the help of Picasso, Cook made just that — and more. He designed the Fantasy Football Jig, a work of art that combines the best design features of all the major jigs being produced today. Included in those design features are:

1. A unique football head design that’ll come through rocks and other hard bottom debris with ease

2. A recessed line-tie that allows the jig to rock enticingly back and forth when resting on the bottom and yet protects your line from the hazards of heavy debris.

3. A new and improved skit that waves in the water much like a crayfish’s tentacles

4. A newly designed weedguard that protects the hook but still allows easy penetration on the hook set. It’s also easily trimmed with a knife or pair of scissors, no small thing when you’re in a hurry.

“The Fantasy Football Jig is an excellent alternative to a Carolina rig when you want to show them something different,” says Cook. “The perfect time to fish it is prespawn and post-spawn. Find a hard bottom spot where deep water meets shallow water. Channel swings over clay and rock are perfect.”

If you’re confused about which color to throw choose the one that’s closest to the natural hues of the crayfish living in the water you’re fishing. Black/blue and peanut butter and jelly (brown/purple) are great choices when in doubt.


 

"Hook Kids on Fishing!" program Update Spring 2007

Rodney Smith
Publisher Coastal Angler Magazine

We Love You Guys!! We’d be struck in dead water without your help communicating our message of promoting the “Use It, Don’t Abuse.” Now that we have that established, 2007 is shaping up to be a year of great promise for our "Hook Kids on Fishing!" events. The weather has been especially kind to us so far in 2007. Our "Hook Kids on Fishing!" events in Jensen Beach, Merritt Island, Satellite Beach and Apopka have happened under fair skies, mild temperatures and light winds.

The "Hook Kids on Fishing!" events are spreading locations statewide, and reaching record numbers of participants. For example, March 10th’s event at Apopka’s Mosquito Creek Outdoors’ “Conservation Day” branded the importance fun and conservation to 128 children and their parents!!
 

These young anglers have now been exposed to CAM’s mission of “Use It, Don’t Abuse,” and our provided a tremendous opportunity to make a difference! With help from members of Florida’s new chapter of the Federation of Fly Fishers we’ve also been able to add a new educational component to our "Hook Kids on Fishing!" program that reaches and introduces these children and their parents to fly fishing.

Special thanks to a grant from the Fish Florida Foundation, we’ve been able to hand each child a completely rigged rod and reel, plus tackle box adding a tremendous boost to the spirit of our HKOF programs.

Last, but not least, we like to express our special appreciation to all of our volunteers and sponsors for without them we would be struck in dead water.

Anyone interested in becoming a "Hook Kids on Fishing!" program volunteer, sponsor or holding an event in your area contact us at 321-777-2773 or rodney@coastalanglermagazine.com.
