Harris, Brian.

The Guinness Guide to Saltwater Angling. Light Tackle Technique for British Waters.

London, Guinness Superlatives, 1977. 29.4cm x 21cm. 238 (4) pages. Original Hardcover with original price-clipped dustjacket. In protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear.

Includes for example the following chapters: The sport-fisher’s sharks/ The conger eel/ Skates and stingray/ Cod/ Coalfish and pollack/ Halibut/ Bass/ Grey Mullets/ Ballan wrasse/ Black bream and red bream/ Macikerel and garfish/ Flounders and plaice/ Twaite shad and allis shad/ The International Game Fish Association and British Anglers/ Fishing to International Game Fish Association Rules etc.

Here is a sea angling book with a difference. It is not about how to catch vast weights or bags of fish, but how to gain maximum enjoyment from catching modest numbers of fighting fish by using appropriate tackle and techniques. Such fishing puts tackle handling, manual skills and a wide knowledge of marine lore at a premium- a logical step, the author maintains, towards elevating saltwater angling from its long thick-eared image.
