Top Recommendation,
This review is from: The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing (Paperback)
I bought this book expecting the usual light regurgitation of common knowledge and what I got was an utterly comprehensive guide to collecting and processing food (and fun) at sea. I am very impressed! The only gap in the whole book is it's lack of Med coverage - however most of the common pelagic species found in the Med are found in areas covered by the book, and the fishing techniques are so complete that if you are near the water anywhere in the world this book has something to offer. Should be renamed 'The Cruisers Bible of Fishing', and I hope to see future issues from the Authors, and if they need any crew...

Wildly Comprehensive Fishing Goldmine,
By Stan (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing (Paperback)
Brilliant. As a sailor and ex-commercial fisherman I cannot recommend this enough. From rock-pooling with a sharp stick to deep-ocean trolling using kites this book covers everything in fine detail. The exhaustive text is interspersed with gripping and educational anecdotes describing the authors experiences around the world.

This book is the business,
This review is from: The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing (Paperback)
I am going to embark on a cruise in the upcoming year and this book pretty much covers any question I could possibly have conceived to ask about fishing whilst afloat.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone cruising, but be warned, you will want to spend about £1500 on fishing kit once you've read it. Enjoy.
