Sea Level From Montauk to the Yucatan and beyond, Jeffrey Cardenas, acclaimed author of Marquesa, takes us on a far-flung journey of angling discovery. There are tactical passages in this book gleaned from Jeffrey’s many years of guiding in the Florida Keys, but he mainly serves as a passionate and acute narrator, angler, and observer. He writes about the first 30 seconds of a tarpon hookup, well-endowed redfish in Cajun country, and pelagic marauders capable of burning a half-mile of backing off a fly reel. Along the way he details the intricate relationship between angler, guide, and fish–and he introduces us to a disparate cast of watermen: fly fishing legends, starving Cuban netters, a tuna captain named “Creature”, and a few longtime fishing buddies who molded and influenced Jeffrey’s perspective of the flats, oceans, and fishes. Sea Level was originally published in 2002 by Meadow Run Press. It eventually lapsed from print after a successful hardbound run, but we are proud to offer it again for the digital reader. For the die-hard salt caster or the beginner looking for that first adrenaline-stoked hookup, Sea Level offers a stirring view of the world’s inshore/offshore gamefish and the impassioned sports who pursue them.

Jeffrey Cardenas Jeffrey is a South Florida native who has spent his entire life around tropical saltwater. He graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in photojournalism and attended post-graduate studies there in fiction writing and fine art photography. His writing and images have appeared in the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Time, Outside, Playboy, and Fly Rod & Reel magazine where he was a Contributing Editor and saltwater columnist. For the past 30 years, Jeffrey has made his living on and around the water. He has made three transatlantic crossings in sailboats including a solo crossing in 1980 in a 23-foot sloop. In 1985, on assignment for Time magazine, he donned SCUBA gear and photographed Mel Fisher’s crew as they recovered a $400 million motherlode of treasure from the wreck of the La Senora de Atocha near the Marquesas. For many years Jeffrey guided flats fishermen in the Key West area and in 1989 he was named Fly Rod & Reel magazine’s Guide of the Year. After taking a break from guiding, Jeffrey founded the Saltwater Angler fly shop in Key West. Jeffrey currently lives in Key West, and when he’s not on the water, he spends his spare time piloting his Cirrus, looking for fish on the flats of the Keys, and flying into remote areas of the Bahamas and Caribbean.
