Fishing Afloat
- It's all very well heading down to your local supermarket and picking up some fresh fish, but ask anyone who has eaten fish freshly pulled from the sea with their own line and they will tell you: nothing beats fresh fish caught with your own bare hands.
The RYA’s Fishing Afloat is a practical guide and the perfect companion for anyone who uses a boat to go fishing.
Author Dick McClary offers valuable advice from tackle, rods and reels; fishing techniques, and selecting the right lures and knots.
"Many skippers will tell you that nothing beats a grilled mackerel, fresh from the sea. Maybe they haven’t tasted a dorado, but their point is well made; the fresher, the better. Nobody gets to eat better fish than cruising sailors. Even the freshest fish on a shoreside fishmonger’s slab is hours old at best."
Dick has many useful tips on how to hook yourself a whopper but, just as importantly, he also has some excellent tips on how to prepare the perfect fish dish.
Packed with full colour illustrations and photographs throughout to complement highly informative text.
