Format:Paperback
Don't be put off by the emphasis of bait digging in other reviews; this book is NOT just about bait digging! This has to be one of the best introductory books on sea angling ever. Everything a novice needs to know is in here, with details on species of fish, where to look for them, how to fish for them, how to keep safe, what to wear, and even how to cook your catch. Yes, it's clear this book was first published a while ago, and the 70's style b&w line drawings might put some off. However, basic as they may be, these line drawings are clear and still give a wealth of info on useful stuff like how to tie knots, rigs, etc. The only downside is a lack of colour pictures to help you identify what you've caught, but it's a minor thing. If you want to try sea fishing but don't know where to start then this book is the next best thing to joining a club and asking for advice. If you really want a book on bait digging then look no further than the Sea Angler book on Bait & Rigs, which is also very new and full of photos.

A useful book that would benefit from being better presented. I had looked at this in book shops and not bought it mainly due to the presentation. Having bought it from Amazon because it was cheap, I am surprised how good it is. The information is invaluable, especially if, like me, you are a novice. Do not be put off by the poor presentation or print quality.

Ok, so the presentation is a little dated. It is also fairly basic and a bit general BUT what do you expect for the price. To my mind it is a good place to start. Books dont catch fish, but the basics as outlined in this mini tome will.

Great for the beginner
I have just started to take an interest in sea fishing and have learnt so many tips from this book. I was also very impressed how focussed it is on safety.

Very good book, would help even the novice to have a better chance of catching fish, both from shore or boat. Well worth getting.

Good for pickup the basics but needs more colour photo
I bought this book as the first fishing book for my library. It gives a lots of useful information, the only serious issue is the lack of colour photos of the fish. Read more

25 years old and nobody has corrected the drawings of the blood loop knot... disappointing really, wish I'd seen the 2nd hand copy for 1p, I would have bought that instead.

Excellent
The book is basic but first class despite that. I keep four sea angling reference books and this is one of them.
