Been searching for a few books and came across a couple of useful sites.
I\'am searching for Anthony Pearson\'s books if anyone\'s got any lying around,i\'ve seen a few but they looked a bit shabby.

Alan,

I got Pearsons \"shore fishing\"after several friutless searches , the wife placed an ad in Sea Angler ( When she was speaking to me before I bought the boat lol :P ) . I got several calls re the subject , paid about £10 I think .

On the subject of Pearson , I suspect you are the same as me reading the book as a kid in the late sixties . It was the bible at the time and he told a magical story which is still as good now . However , I met a chap in Ireland who fished with him ( Some big shot on the Irish scene who\'s name escapes me ) and he said most of pearsons stories were bull...t . I wish he had not told me , it knocked my end in and I hope he was wrong

I\'ve fished most of the places he mentioned though with some success , especially for bass from the shore in wales - happy memories

Dave i\'am not that old m8 lol,
i read the book you mentioned a few years ago from the library,i had to order the book and i waited weeks for them to contact me,i forgot all about it to be honest by the time they found it,i enjoyed the read but i did suspect there was a bit of bull.... about it,still worth a read though.cheers Dave.
