The complete book of sea fishing - Alan Yates

The attraction of seafishing, whether for private pleasure or in a competitive situation, is enormous, and the sport is becoming increasingly popular. In this book, sea anglers Alan Yates and Ted Entwistle provide detailed advice on many aspects of seafishing. Part I by Alan Yates deals with angling from the shore. Starting with an explanation of modern tackle, and the advances in techniques brought about by the use of new materials, he then moves on to discuss casting styles and the effects of changing weather conditions. Estuary, beach, rock, strand and pier angling, bottom fishing, floatfishing and spinning are all examined in detail and there is a chapter on bait collection, storage and use. Boat fishing is dealt with in part II, where Ted Entwistle provides guidance on the different procedures involved in uptide, wire line, drift and conventional downtide fishing, and gives explicit information on tackle, techniques and baits for targetting all the major species to be encountered around the British Isles.
