Saltwater Gamefishing - Offshore and Onshore

"Saltwater Gamefishing: Offshore and Onshore” by Peter Goadby, internationally recognised as one of the world’s leading big-game anglers and honoured by the International Game Fish Association with a Conservation Award. This comprehensive volume examines every aspect of salt water gamefishing – both offshore and shore-based – on a global scale. Whether targeting giant billfish in the open ocean, fishing from rugged rocky headlands, or pursuing lighter gamefish in rivers and estuaries, Goadby provides detailed guidance on where to find the world’s major gamefish species and how best to fish for them. The book identifies all the principal angling gamefish species, supported by detailed illustrations and distribution maps, while also placing strong emphasis on responsible angling and conservation. Included are practical sections on the capture, tagging and release of billfish, tuna and other gamefish, as well as valuable advice on choosing suitable boats and working effectively with charter crews. Lavishly illustrated throughout with more than 220 photographs and over 200 diagrams and illustrations explaining species identification, tackle and techniques, this is an authoritative and highly collectible reference for serious salt water anglers.
