Every serious angler knows there's a grain of truth hidden behind this title... What begins as a harmless weekend on the water somehow becomes another trip, another destination, another species and another excuse to disappear in pursuit of fish. Andy Coetzee and Craig Thomassen understand this affliction only too well, and recount it with the humour, honesty and self-deprecation that every dedicated fisherman will recognise. This highly sought-after South African classic follows the authors on unforgettable adventures to some of Africa's wildest rivers, coastlines and islands, where spectacular fishing is only part of the experience. Along the way there are colourful characters, close encounters with wildlife, challenging conditions, mishaps, laughter and the sort of stories that inevitably become better each time they're retold around a campfire. Rich in African atmosphere and written by two anglers who have spent a lifetime exploring the continent's extraordinary fisheries, this is far more than a collection of fishing tales. It's a celebration of adventure and that incurable condition which convinces us that the next cast – or the next trip – might just be the one we'll remember forever. If you've ever found yourself planning your next fishing trip before you've unpacked from the last one... this book already belongs on your shelf. Very good condition. Softcover, 21cm x 15cm, 175 pages.
