Product Description
Product Description
From renowned fishing expert Nick Fisher comes this concise and beautifully illustrated guide to fishing along British coastline. All that's needed is a beach, pier, harbour, estuary or boat. Nick covers all the basics, such as when and where to go fishing, and then profiles the sea fish that you are likely to catch (each one clearly photographed), covering their conservation status, season, habitat and method of catching. Next he gets down to the nitty gritty, with a guide to tackles, rods, reeds, rigs, knots and bait, and step-by-step advice on all the sea fishing techniques. And for once you've made your catch, there are 30 delicious recipes from River Cottage.

As a novice sea angler I have been looking for a book that provides a wealth of information but is laid out so that I can find the information easily. I have bought one or two other books but they seem to assume a level of knowledge (that I don't have).
This book - leading on from Hugh F-W's recent fishing TV series, is written by one of his chums - the amusingly named "Nick Fisher". I assume that is his real name?
The book carefully goes through the information you need:
When to go - by season, by tide, or by weather
Where to go - the shore, a boat, a pier, a harbour or off rocks
What to catch - a list of the main fish you are likely to come across (Mackerel, Cod, Mullet etc.)
What to use - rods, reels, lines, baits and lures
How to fish - tying knots, casting
What to do next - killing and cooking
And finally ('cos it's a Hugh F-W book) some recipes.
All the sections are clearly laid out, with useful quick look up tables and excellent photographs of the various fish.
To be fair I haven't put this into practice yet - so I can't prove that their information is correct - but having read through the book, I feel that I already have a better understanding of the subject.

I was interested in beginning sea fishing and brought a few books and looked on many websites wanting a basic introduction into the sport and the information in these was at best poor. The river cottage book was just the ticket I was looking for, easy to understand, with diagrams, pictures and a lot of well written prose. It guides you though the basic's to the more complex methods. Recommended.
