[RL83]

hi all
iknow theres been a thread about books on here already but didnt want
to hijack somebody elses post
dug some old fishing books out of the loft the other day!
Fishes of the british isles and northern european seas! brilliant book very old mind 1977(sorry ladds) fab pictures especially the flatties cant do without it now even though its been up in the loft for nearly 20 year
the other is a fishing encyclopedia by alan yates and a couple of other experts
really good book indeed
in the shore fishing section nearly every picture is from up here the groyne/tyne etc theres even a mention on geordie pajamas(chest waders)
the final book is wilsons angle by john wilson some really good pics and stories in there aswell
all in all should keep me busy for a few weeks

My wife bought me one she found in some car boot sale.
Advice to tie your bait on with wool,red workks best it seems.
Cast it out at low tide and leave it while you walk back as tide comes in so it stays in deep water.
Few "tips" like that and they make fun reading.
How things change

"The Compleat Angler" by Isaak Walton...

Written over 300 years ago and full of useful advice about to spit-roast a freshly caught tench or tickle minnows. Right laugh.

Also good: "Darwin's Bass: The Evolutionary Psychology of Fishing Man" by Paul Quinnett....

Beats reading the repetitive, tackle-tartery of Sea Angler magazine every month
