A practical guide to catching, preparing and cooking fish on a boat or kayak.

There's nothing better than freshly caught fish for supper, and this book includes everything you need to know to make a catch, whether you're cruising along the coast, at anchor or drifting. Packed with useful step-by-step photos, diagrams and clear explanations, this handbook shows you how to:

- set up the tackle
- bait the line correctly
- work with the tide to best effect
- catch fish on the move, at anchor or while drifting
- fillet, skin and cook your catch
- tie a few of the most commonly used knots

Fishing from a boat doesn't need to require a lot of expensive equipment or high levels of skill. Expert sea angler Jim Whippy explains in simple terms the tackle required and shows you how to get the best out of each item and when it should be used. He also covers what you can catch as you travel further afield and how to prepare the fish for cooking with easy-to-follow recipes for use on board using limited ingredients and utensils. Once you catch the bug you'll be hooked for life and want to find out more – and for those who do Sea Fishing encourages you to expand your knowledge and try different methods of angling and alternative baits.

This updated third edition includes a handy fish identification section that shows the most likely species that can be caught between Scotland and Gibraltar, as well as the latest information and advice on equipment and techniques, new photography throughout and how to prepare and cook an even wider range of fish.

With this book, some perseverance and a little luck, anyone trying their hand at fishing from a boat or kayak will soon be able to plan for the pleasure of fresh fish cooked aboard.
