Fishing in Hong Kong: A How-To Guide to Making the Most of the Territory's Shores, Reservoirs and Surrounding Waters

by Mike Sharp, John Peters, Lizzie Sharp-Eliazar (Illustrator)

Overview

Did you leave your fishing rods at home before relocating to Hong Kong, unaware that such a densely populated place could support recreational fishing?

Mike Sharp and John Peters walk you through the local angling spots and describe key tactics normally known only by Hong Kong anglers. Carp fishing, pier fishing, and trolling for game fish are just some of the topics covered in a warm, descriptive text beautifully illustrated by Lizzie Sharp-Eliazar.

Whether you live in a skyscraper or a village, this book will encourage you to get out onto the territory’s beautiful waters or rocky shore and cast a line—in the hope that the next one will be the one that didn’t get away.
