"Angling Boats" - a unique book for sea anglers
There are books on angling and books on boats, but
Angling Boats is the first book on owning and operating a small angling boat to be written specifically for the sea angler. Published by Arford Books, Angling Boats covers the principles of boat handling, navigation, safety, anchoring, marks, equipment, weather forecasts, DIY and much more. Read the independent reviews from Anglers Mail, Sea Angler, Sea Angling News, Anglers Net, Mike Thrussell (WSF) and Amazon here
The book almost sold out - we have the last few remaining. There are no plans for a reprint, so when they are all gone, that's it!
