VI PREFACE. 



sports which have become necessary to the 

 existence of the wealthier classes, and to point 

 out copiously to sea-side residents as well as 

 those who own yachts of all sizes, that they may 

 add very greatly to their pleasure by regularly 

 seeking the various kinds of fish in their 

 different localities, all fishing in salt water 

 being free to every one. I have also given a 

 description of the various kinds of tackles, 

 baits, boats, gear, &c., required in sea fishing, 

 and by the help of which every one may make 

 his own tackle. 



Hoping that my many shortcomings will 

 be leniently dealt with, I commit the result of 

 my labours during many spare hours to the 

 consideration of all who may take an interest 

 in the subject, wishing them as many pleasant 

 days as I have passed in my favourite pursuit.
