'Though most of my life seems to have been spent on the banks of lakes and rivers I have always been drawn to the sea . . .'
Through twenty-two casts Britain's best-known freshwater fisherman quits land in favour of the sea. There he discovers the many pleasures of the coast: wild shores unpredictable waves the violent collision of the elements and of course fish that glisten and dart beneath a never-still surface. From childhood remembrances of saltwater escapades to more recent discoveries Chris Yates brings the sea and its many wonders to scintillating life.
