The Sea-Fisherman - Comprising the Chief Methods of Hook and Line Fishing in the British and Other Seas and Remarks on Nets, Boats and Boating

This vintage book is a complete guide to fishing at sea, with a special focus on fishing around the British coast. With information on everything from common methods of hook and line fishing to the choice of nets and boat, this book constitutes a must-have for the keen sea-fisherman, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: 'Marks, and how to Take Them', 'Methods of Fishing', 'the Possible Bag', 'Shifting Leads for Sea-side Visitors', 'Sea-fishing and Hydrography', 'Gear and Tackle Required in Sea-fishing', 'The South-West Coast of England, Channel Islands, &c.', 'The Whiting', 'Ground-fishing Gear', 'Lines', 'Barking or Tanning Lines', etc. Many old books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing. This book was first published in 1884.
