Angling in Salt Water [PDF ebook] 
A Practical Work on Fishing With Rod and Line in the Sea, From the Shore, Piers, Jetties, Rocks, and From Boats, Together With Some Account of Hand-Lining

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first concern of sea fishermen is a big haul, and sport is not even a second consideration, for it never enters into their minds. It has thus come about that many fresh-water anglers, who know only of the hand-lines, long-lines, trawls, and other contrivances used by fishermen, are inclined to regard the sea as the last place to visit for sport. This book will, I hope, show that angling of a superior kind is to be Obtained in the sea, and possibly in a few years the very limited number of persons who angle in salt water may be considerably increased.
