5.0 out of 5 stars Fishing Guide for Crusing Sailors, June 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing (Hardcover)
This is an excelent source book for the voyaging sailor,or anyone, who wants to learn how to have better success when fishing the worlds oceans. The authors have cruised extensively aboard their yacht,Ian, and have a background in marine biology. They have a unique perspective into how you can increase your success rate in having fun while catching dinner. Topics cover equipment selection, tips for catching specific species, toxicity issues, and much more. Even if you are not cruising the Seven Seas, you will learn a lot about offshore fishing from this book. I reccomend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curising In Isolated Parts Of The World? Don't Forget It, July 14, 2000
This review is from: The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing (Hardcover)
I have done quite a bit of crusing, fishing and diving but I always wanted to learn how to clean and prepare the fish myself. The book gave some very good insight into this but I didn't think it was detailed enough. The books starts out with the basics of fishing while crusing and then on to every theme possible: 1.) Fishing under power or sail 2.) Gear and Tackle (excellent drawings for knot tying) 3.)Offshore Trolling 4.)Adrift or Anchored 5.)Dingy Techniques 6.) Walking, Wading and Diving 7.) Tools and Nets 8.) Arranging your vessel for fishing 9.) Processing your catch 10.) Medical Considerations for the Crusing Fisher 11.) Getting the most from your new crusing skill 12.) A guide to Edible Fish and Invertebrates ( would be much better in color as I have not seen many fish come up black and white) 13.) Seafood recepies

If you are planning any type of crusing for a longer period of time. This is an absolute must have. A transatlantic or gulf stream crossing can sometimes get boring and knowing these skills take out a lot of the intimidation a lot of us have about fishing and cleaing our own catch.

5.0 out of 5 stars For ocean fisherman, May 29, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing (Paperback)
This is a long, detailed book that gives you all the info you could want on living off the ocean. Be advised, there is no fresh water information in the book. That being said, if you want to improve your ability to catch fish at sea, this book has it all.
