Sea Fishing Properly Explained – Amazon has a review of “Sea Fishing Properly Explained” from Vin Kennedy and and he writes, ” This is a fine book that I bought from Amazon after a local tackle shop told me there were no introductory sea fishing books available. It certainly gets you to the stage where you can walk into a tackle shop and not feel an utter idiot.
It covers (as far as I can see) all the basics that you might need. It may also be enough to take you on to higher levels, but I don’t have the experience yet to say so.”
