How to Catch a Fish - and Where. Written by Bill Hohepa

Fishing is different things to different people. There are almost as many different reasons for going fishing as there are fishermen.

For some it is the freedom from the cares of shore life that slip magically from your shoulders as you cast off. For others it’s the thrill of battling a big ‘un and the scream of the reel.

For yet others it’s simply sitting on a wharf with a line in one hand, or heading over the sand hills to a lonely possie on a windswept beach. The only thing in common is the desire to come home with fish.

And that’s why this book was written. Its aim to give the average fisherman that vital edge over his piscatorial adversary. In it you will find descriptions of our most popular salt water fish plus tips and tricks on how to catch them, what they like to eat and where you’re most likely to find them. Not to mention how best to eat them. That’s all in the recipes section.

But the novel feature of the book is its maps section. This was compiled with the help and co-operation of scores of fishermen from North Cape to Bluff.
