Autobiographical work describing 6 decades of fishing in Australian waters by an Australian author. Written with deep appreciation of the seas and with great and humorous detail of observation of character.

Crayfishing Abrolhos Geraldton Fremantle

“A book covering the colourful adventures of Don and Jean over several decades, it tells us much about what professional fishing was like before bureaucracy and advances in modern technology came along. Don writes with a droll sense of humour, sparing nothing in the telling. He and Jean live near Fremantle and are still passionate about fish. They can tell quality from the rest in a way you and I probably can’t.”
