Fishing to Live is a how-to fishing guide for anyone that wants to learn how to fish offshore. It's specifically written for sailors who want to learn how to fish from their sailboats but it is a useful guide for anyone wanting to improve their knowledge of saltwater fishing. The book contains links to high quality online fishing videos.
The techniques in this book will work for anyone who wants to go out on the ocean and catch fish, whether going out for a day or for an extended passage around the world.
I cover the fishing gear needed, how to rig lures, how to set up your boat for ocean fishing as well as how to land, fillet, store fish and clean everything up afterward.
I've detailed everything step by step with easy to follow fishing instructions, step by step photos, and links to exclusive fishing videos.
About the author:
In 2001, thirty-one-year-old Lance Gettler sold everything he owned, bought a sailboat sight unseen over the internet, and went sailing around the world. He didn’t know how to sail, and had only gone sailing once before, nine years prior.
From 2001 to present he has lived aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean, working on and repairing sailboats. He is also active in the sportfishing industry and fishes for a living. From 2005 to 2006 he sailed around the world aboard his 41' ketch with his brother, who didn't know how to sail either.
Lance is now a professional delivery captain, delivering yachts worldwide. In 2011 alone he logged more than 12,000 nm at sea, aboard three different sailboats.
You can read about his experience circumnavigating in "Ask Me Anything About Sailing Around The World".
