Re: Chris Yates - On Fishing At Sea
My favourite Chris Yates book. I usually re-read it annually when on my summer seaside hols and am having a go at lure fishing for bass. Mine is an early edition when it was titled 'Out Of The Blue'.

Re: Chris Yates - On Fishing At Sea
I wonder if he is related to Alan Yates, one of the master sea fisherman?

I have the book but not got round to reading this one yet, sounds like I should.

Re: Chris Yates - On Fishing At Sea
He stands head and shoulder above any other angling writer. He captures fishing as I'd like it to be and even if I can't achieve it I have his books to take me there.
I've read it once and it is very typical of the man, hugely enjoyable and provoking.

Re: Chris Yates - On Fishing At Sea
I am reading How To Fish at the moment.... A a a great read!
I enjoy sea fishing to.
I have a small open fishing boat turned upsde down on the beach and have a couple of split cane sea rods... I use them with my old Alvey reels. I also have a nice Grice & Young Sea Jecta. At one time Jim Presley the England sea fishing champ was still using his one for Bass. Trotting back a float to the towers of radio Caroline fame off of Herne Bay Kent with a rod I am still after... A Sea Picker.
I know this Forum is for course and fly fishing but were talking about Chris Yates book. I will have to get a copy.

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
