"Now in this new book Maurice Wiggin sets out the basic techniques of fishing from the shore, fishing from boats and rocks, ...pier and jetty, and finally the thrills and rewards of estuary fishing. ...written with admirable clarity and good humour. He communicates very vividly and zestfully his own delight in this 'robust and open-hearted pursuit'. At one and the same time he tells the complete beginner how to go about it, and fires him with enthusiasm to be started. Few textbooks are at once highly practical and informative and also vivacious, amusing and readable in their own right. But this is one that certainly is". Chapters include:- First things first; The tools of the trade; The G.P. and the specialist; Pier and jetty fishing; Boat fishing; Rock fishing; Fishing from the shore; Estuary fishing; Afterthoughts and all that.
