The Australian Fisherman’s Companion

This handbook is different. All 240 species, common to Australian waters, listed here have been grouped into ten easy to follow sections.

The author loved to fish as a young boy. He later in life became an avid amateur fisherman and for 50 years accumulated a detailed knowledge of fishing in Australian waters. In this book, he presents an easy-to-follow manual that is a complete guide to 240 species of Australian fish.

Each fish is clearly identified with a color photo and exact descriptions, details on habitat, advice on rigging and baiting and suitability for eating.

Inside you will find a number of ways to rig your line. Each rig is numbered and they co-ordinate with the identification section. Includes:

• Useful knots
• Fish without Scales
• Flat Fish
• Fish with a Concave Tail Fin
• Fish with a Moderate Fork
• Molluscs, Crustaceans and other Invertebrates

The book is designed to be flexible and easy to carry and with its PVC jacket makes a convenient companion for fishing trips.
