Review:
By translating the observations of fisheries scientists and their own experiences as life-long anglers into practical tactics, Mike and his pals have paved the way for saltwater lure and fly fishing to become widely accepted as mainstream methods. Whether you take your rod to the sea every day or once or twice a year, this book will reduce the number of 'blanks' and improve the quality of your catches. Above all, it will give you a good read and a feeling as near to wetting a line in the sea as you can get without leaving your house. -- Mel Russ of Sea Angler magazine * From the Foreword by Mel Russ, Editor of Sea Angler magazine * This book will revolutionise your techniques and enlarge your catches. * Yachting Life * Using scientific studies and years of experience, they manage to stuff a huge of knowledge into this paperback. * The Sea Angler * ...interesting, entertaining and may well encourage you to change tactics and the way you approach your sea angling. * The Hardy Owner *
