'It's always a bonus to read a fishing book that takes you as close to the action as this one does." Jim O'Brien
There
are lots of great places to fish around New Zealand’s coast,
either close to home or somewhere more remote. The best thing is that
you don’t need a boat to catch a nice fish for dinner or have an
unforgettable fishing experience. The rewards of fishing from land
certainly got Andy Macleod hooked.
Andy shares the
enjoyment of catching tasty trevally and snapper for the table, as well
as the buzz of landing highly prized species, such as kingfish —
and the utter frustration of losing them. He and his fishing mates
travel the country to places as far from civilisation as they can get
in pursuit of their target species, from Spirits Bay in the far north
to Cape Saunders on the Otago Peninsula, and even out to the Chatham
Islands. This is a book of fishing stories and experiences, which
challenges all fishers to venture outside their comfort zone and take
their fishing skills to new places and to new levels. ANDY
MACLEOD has fished extensively from the rocks and beaches around the
New Zealand coastline in search of a wide variety of fish, from humble
table species like gurnard to that supercharged sports fish, the
yellowtail kingfish. He is a regular competitor in national surfcasting
and sport-fishing championships and in the club surfcasting
championship in his home town of Wellington. |
