The Complete Guide to Game Fishing

Once the domain of anglers with big, expensive game boats, game fishing today is possible in even a trailer boat. As a result, more and more anglers are discovering the delights of offshore fishing and are catching huge fish from small boats. Armed with The Complete Guide to Game Fishing, you will know how to find, identify, hook and ultimately catch (or release) the game fish in our waters, from huge black marking to small tune and everything in between.

This 400-page book is about learning and appreciating the ocean and the miraculous life that exists below the surface. Today, game fishing is as much about tagging and releasing fish so they can be tracked for scientific research, as it is about bringing home the catch to eat. There is a chapter on photography, so a record can be kept of the fish you’ve battled with and landed, as well as a recipe section for those fish caught for the table.

Author Alistair McGlashan spends more than 200 days a year on the water, and regularly contributes to dozens of magazines both locally and internationally, including Australian Hunter, Australian Shooter, Modern Fishing, Outback Mag and FHM. He has authored four books, including The Complete Fishing Bible - a 450-page bestseller. Alistair also writes a weekly fishing column for Sydney’s Daily Telegraph.
