Saltwater Fishing in South Africa

Written with the inexperienced angler in mind, the book initially offers expert guidance on understanding the influence of nature and its elements on the sea and its fish, buying and maintaining tackle, tying knots, assembling rigs and collecting bait. Thereafter, the author enters the realms of rock, surf, estuarine, inshore and deep-sea angling, profiles 20 popular fish species, and offers advice on the tackle and techniques needed to catch them, and on prime fishing spots along the seaboard. The book concludes with essential information on the country's marine reserves, catch restrictions and the regulations currently in force. Also available in Afrikaans as Soutwater-hengel in Suid-Afrika.
