Pier Fishing

Provides information on pier fishing, including the optimum gear, tackle, poles, reels, bait, lures, clothing, conditions, techniques, and safety precautions.

This book will assist anyone from a first time saltwater angler to a longtime one who just wants to improve. I have given proven advice on what equipment to use, what bait to have, and what fish to target. If you pier fish at all, you definitely need this book, and if you plan to hit the coastal flats, the information inside should enable you to catch fish without breaking the bank.

"113 piers--including those in the Carquinez Strait and West Delta, enlarged 'fishing tips' sections, history of the piers, the pier rats speak."

JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER IACP Cookbook Award finalist In the face of apocalyptic climate change, a former fisherman shares a bold and hopeful new vision for saving the planet: farming the ocean. Here Bren Smith—pioneer of regenerative ocean agriculture—introduces the world to a groundbreaking solution to the global climate crisis. A genre-defining “climate memoir,” Eat Like a Fish interweaves Smith’s own life—from sailing the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers to developing new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement—with actionable food policy and practical advice on ocean farming. Written with the humor and swagger of a fisherman telling a late-night tale, it is a powerful story of environmental renewal, and a must-read guide to saving our oceans, feeding the world, and—by creating new jobs up and down the coasts—putting working class Americans back to work.
