Every yachtsman or motorboater has at some point entertained the idea of catching their own supper, but until "Sea Fishing" there hasn't been a book to guide them through it. This unique handbook fills the gap. Fishing whilst cruising along the coast or at anchor isn't as easy as it might at first seem, but this practical, photographic guide shows the novice how to set up their tackle, bait the line correctly and how to work with the tide to best effect. Different fishing techniques, tackle, weights and (importantly) bait are required when sailing at speed, drifting along the coast or fishing whilst at anchor, and this book presents them all with helpful step-by-step photos and diagrams. It also details how to kill, de-scale, fillet, skin and cook your catch. There is also a fish identification section that shows every type of fish that can be caught between Scotland and Gibraltar. Updated for the second edition, there is a new section on wreck fishing, and a wider range of fish is covered. With this book, some perseverance and a little luck, anyone trying their hand will soon be able to plan for the pleasure of fresh fish cooked aboard.

The third in a series of Adlard Coles highly practical, hands on, step-by-step photographic manuals, "Replacing Your Boat's Electrical System" fills a gap in the market for the DIY boat builder and repairer, and for owners of older second-hand boats.

In older boats fatigued or damaged wiring can be problematical or even terminal, so Mike Westin shows ow to replace a boat's electrical system to ensure fault-free service.This is a visual, hand-holding guide, concentrating on the all-important details as it explains each procedure rather than focussing on the theory (which is relegated to an appendix, for those who wish to go further).
