Excerpt from Sea-Fish: An Account of the Methods of Angling as Practised on the English Coast, With Notes on the Capture of the More Sporting Fishes in Continental, South African, and Australian Waters
In the following pages will be found some account of coast-fishing under modern conditions. Few sports ha-e grown so rapidly in popularity; and one result of the recent increase of sea-anglers has been a tendency, on the part of both makers and amateurs, to adapt fishing tackle to the special requirements of salt water to an extent not dreamed of a few years back. Of these improvements, not a few of which have appeared during the two years that have elapsed since the publication of the last work on sea-fishing, the author has endeavoured to take note in the second chapter. It may be objected that not one-fifth of the fishes included in the British list are mentioned in this book; but sea-fishing as a sport is a question of methods, many kinds of fish being captured by each style.
