Sea Coast Fishing: With Special Reference to Calm Water Fishing in Inlets and Estuaries (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Sea Coast Fishing: With Special Reference to Calm Water Fishing in Inlets and Estuaries
Mr. Richards has asked me to write for him a hand book of the latest practical methods of sea-angling for sport, and without any of the usual prefatory apology, praise of this particular branch of fishing, description of the scenery, the birds, the fisherfolk, such as come in so handy to make a book pan out over a given number of pages. This course I am quite content to take, as it relieves me of the necessity of drawing on a literary style of doubtful quality, and enables me to plunge forthwith into the purely practical aspect of my subject. Presum ably, however, a word may be permitted as to the title chosen for the book. Sea and Coast Fishing! Some will object: why two names'for one pastime? And not even the sub-title will explain the difficulty. Well, the meaning was simply this. So many people are deterred from joining the ranks of amateur sea-fishers by the indifferent sport obtainable, at any rate in the summer holiday season', from most of our piers, and the indifferent pleasure afforded by tossing in a small boat on an unruly sea, that it is my aim in a portion of this book to indicate to them methods and localities that offer sport with most of our sea-fish - of those, at any rate, like the bass.
