Books on general beachcasting techniques

[Alec Powell]

Hi guys,
Pretty much a newcomer to beachcasting and would appreciate any
recommendations on suitable bedtime reading matter on the subject.
Will hopefully be fishing the Dorset coast in the not too distant
future.
Cheers,
Alec Powell

Good idea Bill, but I think SWMBO would not go too much on the idea :-)
But if you have any "sensible" suggestions it might
help.................

I didn't have, hence my idiocy!

A book I enjoy reading is just called "Fishing". It covers sea, coarse and
fly, it's well illustratedand has a few useful bits. I don't know if it's
still in print. It's ISBN is
1-85348-252-8

A few years ago there was one of those weekly save the magazines they make a
book issues. I have no idea of the name, but I have often seen them
complete in the binders at boot sales for a couple of quid.

Charity shops and boot sales are an excellent source for fishing books.
Alas my local charity shop will not stock Playboy!

Try:

1. The Complete Guide to Fishing Skills by Tony Wheldon (ISBN 1-84188-167-8)
2. The Complete Book of Fishing by Trevor Housby, Arthur Oglesby and John
Wilson (ISBN 0-75370-281-9)
3. The Anglers Guide to Sea Fishing by Bill Howes (ISBN 1-84065-107-5)

The first two books cover sea, game and course fishing so may contain a lot
of unwanted material. However, they are both good books and offer a solid
all-round view of beach fishing.

Personally, I like Bill Howes book (3) and often return to it to look up
species-specific material.

I hope this has helped.
