Description

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

Fishing from a boat doesn't need to require a lot of expensive equipment or high levels of skill. There's nothing better than freshly caught fish for supper, and this book helps you 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
- fillet, skin and cook your catch

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 the rules of angling and how to prepare the fish for cooking with easy-to-follow recipes for use on board with limited ingredients.

This updated third edition includes a month-by-month guide and a fish identification section, showing the most likely species that can be caught between Scotland and Gibraltar, as well as the latest information and advice on equipment and techniques and even more recipes.

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 enjoy the pleasure of fresh fish cooked aboard.
