FISHING IN THE SUN - OUT NOW

Serial killers, a zombie kid, a 2000-year-old angling cheat and a Spanish hippy trading his girlfriend for a mullet…there’s the first clue that this is no ordinary fishing book. That lot are just some of the amazing characters you’ll meet when you join Mike Kernan on a fishing trip like no other. Mike has been informing, entertaining and making anglers think in his Scottish Sun angling column since 2008. He first picked up a rod more than 50 years ago and has pursued everything from sticklebacks to sharks across Scotland and beyond. Along the way he has witnessed head-biting rituals, caught fish using kitchen roll and diced with death in infernos and ice tombs. So get well and truly hooked as he takes a quirky, affectionate look at angling from secret perch-filled quarries to some of the country’s top trout fisheries, from Scotland’s shark grounds to the frozen wastes of Finland. He reveals his controversial views on salmon fishing, tells of his fears AND hopes for pike…and lays bare the untold angling secrets of the 2020 lockdown. A few words of warning though. Mike confesses that he doesn’t take angling too seriously so Fishing In The Sun is NOT a How-To book. There are no instructions for complicated knots, wonder flies or DIY worm farms. But it will remind anglers that fishing is exciting, fascinating and, above all, fantastic fun.
