RYA Fishing Afloat

OK, I have to admit I love fishing but almost all of my fishing experience has been in fresh water, mostly on trout streams. The ocean is a lot different environment and I've had bad luck so far at all of my attempts. I'm used to stalking the fish in a stream, not dragging a lure behind a boat. Ocean fishing behind a sailboat would seem to be a fairly brainless task that depends on dumb luck more than skill however I must be dumber than most as I can't catch anything! In reading this book, now I can begin to make some sense of all this and there is a lot of skill in rigging the lines, choosing the lure, setting the depth of where to run the lure, etc. I beleive this book will be the basis for me being more successful on my sailing journeys. I'll keep you posted, wish me luck!
