Synopsis & Historical Value

Published by Struik in Cape Town in 2000, Saltwater Fishing in South Africa is the fully revised and updated second edition of Hennie Crous's practical guide to angling along the South African coast. It is written for novices and experienced anglers alike.

The opening chapters explain how nature and the sea influence fish behaviour, then turn to tackle, knots, rigs and bait. The book goes on to rock and surf, estuarine, inshore and deep-sea fishing, with details of twenty popular species.

The closing chapter divides the coastline into thirteen sections, each with a map and commentary on its fishing potential. Richly illustrated in colour, it is a useful period reference for South African angling and a pleasing addition to a collection of Africana outdoor literature.
