'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.

Principally known as a freshwater fisherman, and long-time holder of the carp record, in his latest book, Chris Yates turns his attention to sea fishing, "and his increasing passion for [the sea's] changeable moods and habits. Remaining faithful to his fundamental angling ethic - fishing simply with the minimum of tackle and always using his old split cane carp rod - he nets a mass of singular experiences, from the quiet magic of a Dorset tide-pool to the strange delight of casting into the midnight sun off the Norwegian Island of Senja".
