.# 1961 1st edition. Small format. 16mo (94 x 163mm). Pp96 B/w illustrations. Blue boards, spine titled in dark blue.

.# The author "covers his subject with a common-sense approach, unfolding a technique which can be quickly mastered by any angler of average skill and no previous experience of these fish. He explodes the popular belief in the almost uncanny powers of these fish to evade capture and shows how they can provide sport that is second to none". Still one of very few books dedicated to mullet fishing in the UK and of great use for anyone intending to pit their wits against this tricky species. Chapters include:- The mullet family; Ground baiting; Striking, playing and landing; Methods; Tackle; Baits; Winter mullet; Myths, tales and mysteries; Finding mullet; Spinning and fly fishing; Tales and odds and ends. An appendix gives a little information on cooking mullet.
