The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing

"Most cruisers (ourselves included) spend significant amounts of time and treasure trying to catch fish - usually with poor results. Sure, there are the odd spots in the world where even a rag tied around a hook will yield a mouthwatering yahoo or mahi-mahi. But most of the time you (we for sure!) end up losing gear, catching seaweed, or feeling rejected because the locals are ignoring your lures.

"There are a few cruisers who consistently make good catches. We know because we've been the recipient of their largess in anchorages around the world (along with some good-natured ribbing about our own fishing skills). That's why we were so intrigued when Scott and Wendy Bannerot asked us to review their book for comment before it went to press. Right away we could see that this was something that would help with our own fishing 'problem'. Since then, The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing has helped thousands of cruisers around the world tap into the bounty which abounds in the sea around them. From types of fishing gear to carry, to safety precautions, to specifics of how to actually catch fish, it is all here. You will even find sections on spear fishing, net fishing, and critical information on preparation and storage. This is the ultimate guide to harvesting the sea, and it should be aboard every cruising yacht." Steve Dashew
