KT Lilliecrona, born in Sweden in 1912, immigrated to South Africa in 1919 and settled in Uvongo Beach by 1922. His extensive knowledge of the sea and its conditions earned him the nickname "prophet of the sardine run", leading to the publication of this seminal work. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the diverse salt water fish species found along the southern African coastline, providing valuable insights into their habitats, behaviour and the techniques used to catch them. The book is structured to cater to both novice and experienced anglers, covering various fishing methods suitable for the region's coastal waters. It delves into the identification of different fish species, their seasonal movements and the environmental factors influencing their behaviour. Additionally, Lilliecrona shares practical advice on tackle selection and techniques, as well as sustainable fishing practices. Hardcover, 139 pages, 19cm x 12cm.
