If directly asked what kind of angler I would primarily consider myself to be, I would invariably respond with the words ‘sea angler’. But this is not entirely true, or at least not as accurate as it could be. I can be even more specific than this and refer to myself as a ‘shore angler’.

Despite the lure of bigger fish, more variety, the possibility of more numerous shoals, and the swift undercurrents of deep water measured in fathoms rather than feet and inches, I can honestly say that boat angling has, so far, held no real appeal for me.
