Interest in catfishing has grown significantly during the last 20 years and the opportunities to catch this remarkable and fascinating, if unpredictable, species have increased greatly, both in the UK and elsewhere. The increase in the popularity of catfishing is not surprising as catfish can grow to enormous sizes and they certainly justify their reputation as probably the hardest-fighting fish most anglers will ever encounter. If you are interested in taking up the challenge of catfishing, or are already involved in the sport and want to improve your methods and catches, then this is the book for you. Written by a highly respected, specialist catfish angler, this guide provides you with all the information you will need. This book considers watercraft and where to find catfish in the UK in different weather conditions and seasons; discusses all the available baits and baiting up; meticulously analyzes tackle, rigs, and methods, including using static baits, livebaits, and lure; demonstrates how to land, handle, weigh, and safely retain catfish of all size;, covers catfishing in Europe, Africa, Asia, and elsewhere; and includes a definitive list of UK catfish waters.
