A fiction novel based on the Poco Bueno Fishing Tournament in Port O'connor, TX! http://*** "Some days the man conjure the fish,most days the fish conjure the man.? Every spring since 1970, an odd ritual has taken place in Houston. On a specific date, which shall remain unstated and held in confidence, the invitations to The Port O?Connor Offshore Invitational Fishing Tournament are mailed out. Professional assistants and secretaries who work for some of the city?s wealthiest and most powerful men have the event marked on their calendars. Their assignment on this day is one of the most important things they will do all year?people have been fired for screwing this up. Each must obtain an advance copy of the invitation, complete its entry form, and deliver it to the office from whence it came, with the entry fee, before 5:00 p.m. The successful completion of this task secures a prime dock space for the boss?s sport-fishing yacht, and one of only ninety spots in the tournament. This is the invite to the Poco Bueno. POCO BUENO is the story of every man's fantasy - escaping the life-numbing prison of his nine-to-five existence. Stokes is a 31-year-old executive in the lucrative Texas oil business. His marriage to the boss's daughter is on the skids and his true love, an over-restored 70-foot Hatteras fishing yacht, has him panicking in debt. Following his heart, and the naked-truth of his fun-loving boat captain sidekick Jean Paul, the two fishing buddies throw caution to the wind on a quest for genuine adventure and meaning. Like the ever-churning margarita blender onboard the boat, Poco Bueno is a crazy blend of thirty-something angst, bikini-clad willful women, testosterone-fueled antics, and off-the-charts fishing. Based on the very private, but oh-so-real, million-dollar Port O Connor Offshore Invitational Fishing Tournament held off the coast of Texas, this book might very well be the next great American western, albeit a watery one! Yes, this is a novel about fishing - fishing in one of its most savage and primordial forms - but it is really a story about the ultimate inevitability of what life serves up and our ability to eat well at the feast.
