ROCK FISHING. By Trevor Housby.

1969 1st edition. 8vo (203 x 132mm). Pp184. B/w line illustrations. Brown boards.

# Detailed introduction to all aspects of fishing for the species of rocky shores. "Much has been written about beach angling, but so far little of a really comprehensive nature has been available about rock fishing despite the fact that more anglers rock fish than beach fish. This practical book, which deals in great detail with the many specialised techniques developed by rock anglers for catching individual species, and the many unusual forms of tackle which may have been devised, is both necessary and timely." Chapters include:- Rock fishing areas; Bass; Cod fishing; Conger; Mackerel and garfish; The mullet; Pollack and coalfish; Tope, dogfish and sharks; Wrasse; Flatfish and other species; Local names for rock fish.
