Forty-one species of fish and their habits are described and there are 65 photographs and 175 brilliant drawings by David Carl Forbes. Sea angling is the world's fastest growing sport, and advances in tackle design, knowledge of marine life and the techniques of fishing have also increased enormously in recent years. The days of `chuck it and chance it' in sea angling are over: science has now come to the aid of the angler. This latest, revised edition of one of the most popular and comprehensive guides to sea angling yet published incorporates the most recent discoveries of the scientists and describes how they are being successfully applied in practice by some of the greatest masters of the angling art. Every facet of the sport is covered, ranging from the choice of suitable tackle, identification of species and where to fish, to the intriguing study of life on the foreshore and fish movements and migration. The techniques of beach casting, fishing from rocks, piers and harbour walls, the art of boat handling and the fascinating pastime of fly-fishing for sea fish are all fully described by specialist anglers of great experience. There are also sections on tournament sea casting, dinghy fishing and anglers' knots and a complete list of British Record (Rod-caught) sea fis. Forty-one species of fish and their habits are described and there are 65 photographs and 175 brilliant drawings by David Carl Forbes h to complete an outstanding book of reference which should prove of the utmost value to old hand and novice alike.
