Pacific Shore Fishing

Pacific Shore Fishing covers all aspects of shore-based fishing, from the use of the inexpensive handpole to shorecasting techniques for more sophisticated tackle. It is written primarily for the angler who wants to go fishing but doesn't know where to start. This handy guide covers such topics as selecting the right tackle, rods, reels, and monofilaments–essentials for the shore fisherman–and identifying Hawaiian reef species, what they will eat, and how to catch them.
