Poontown: A Novel of Chasing Tarpon and Glory

FIVE TEAMS. FIVE DAYS. ONE LEGENDARY FISH.

The Sabalo Cup Invitational is the most prestigious tarpon fly-fishing tournament in the world, attracting an unforgettable collection of obsessives, oddballs, and glory-chasers to the sun-scorched backcountry and turquoise ocean of the Tequesta Isles. For five brutal days, elite guides and determined anglers battle giant tarpon, sharks, weather, rivals, aging bodies, and their own stubborn ambitions in pursuit of victory.

The competitors are as colorful as the waters they fish. A burned-out lawyer chasing one last shot at glory. A French magnate who somehow arrives at every tournament start looking like he never went to bed. A retired exotic dancer turned psychologist battling self-doubt as fiercely as the fish themselves. Together, they plunge into a world where carefully crafted plans unravel with spectacular efficiency.

Naked Frenchmen. Jet ski disasters. Crocodile encounters. Midnight rescue missions. And somewhere amid the chaos swims the fish of a lifetime.

Wildly funny, surprisingly moving, and drawn from decades of real-world tarpon fly-fishing experience, Poontown is an authentic adventure about obsession, friendship, redemption, and the dreams we keep chasing long after common sense tells us to quit.

Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Patrick D. Smith, and character-driven adventure fiction filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable characters.

Adventure is only a cast away.
