by Brian Andrews (Author)
Rock fishing is often claimed to be the most dangerous sport in the world. The author, despite several close shaves (described in the book), survived over 40 years of the sport, including highly risky solitary night fishing. When seas were simply too treacherous, big fish were sought from beaches instead. This book describes the author's often colourful and amusing introduction to the sport at a young age and follows his fishing adventures to the age of 63 (and still going strong) in both South Africa and Australia. Boasts of the longest fishing trips without washing, how to avoid the use of soap if you must wash, dealing with diarrhoea in the bush, enemas and poop-eating bush pigs, as well as numerous stories of hooks-in-the-body help to make up the humorous side of the book. Suggestions on how to stay alive while rock fishing and how to land big fish conclude the book. So sit back in a comfortable armchair, beer in hand, and allow In Search of Big Fish to take you away to the roar and salty spray of the sea, the bite of a big fish, the fight that follows, and the joy of landing the prey...or the horror of losing it.
Author Biography
The author, Brian Andrews, was (happily) afflicted with an intense interest in freshwater and marine life at a very early age. One outcome has included a long career in aquaculture and research, but eclipsing all other indulgences has been the capture of large samples of marine life - by fishing. The more frequently the better, the bigger the sample the better. The author is often told he is a crazy, over-the-top-fisherman. (Who knows what he gets referred to as behind his back, but it is all regarded as a complement - an excellent indicator that he has achieved what God put him on the planet for in the first place.) The author was also blessed (well he thinks it's a blessing, others might not...) with an acute sense of humour. Not your common-or-garden kind, but severely warped. The book 'In Search Of Big Fish' did not escape this blessing, and is liberally infused with fishing's funny events, including cartoons for those who can't read. And the author loves writing and drawing - especially, of course, about his favourite subject! So the production of this book has been great fun. Born in East London, South Africa, in 1951, the author fished various parts of that country's magnificent waters for rock and pelagic fish until leaving for the equally superb shore-based angler's paradise of Australia in 1990. The book includes both. Brian Andrews has also published a 528 page manual on the production of freshwater aquarium and pond fish, which has sold over 300 copies worldwide. Enough about the author, except to say that he still fishes like a maniac at every opportunity, wife permitting.
